I just know far too many people who have been burned.
It's because everything in this article is based on subjective findings. And as such is quite easy to spin in one direction. Obviously the spin was only ever going to go one way.
So would locking up the people who actually do this. There’s been a trend of treating property crime like it isn’t worth dealing with, that the risk of bad police action outweighs the property rights of people who own things. We treat criminals like they’re the victims and this is the result.
Will our responses be turned into a slideshow?
But.... Actual Statistics show that the vast majority of American vehicles are worse that the industry average. http://www.dashboard-light.com/

What an uninformed article. Do you even watch F1 and keep up to date with the driver market?
Modified exhausts from the following:
That’s...that’s a pretty dumb colloquialism. I’m all for replacing outdated and senseless sayings, but the replacement really should try to make more sense than what it’s replacing. Saying “caught red handed” or “caught clear as day” aren’t great, but “caught in 4K” is just as bad and, therefore, is unnecessary.
Glad I’m not the only one. I’ve never heard “caught in 4K” before, and I’m squarely in the millennial generation.
For you older folks and people not in the know, Tesla cameras don’t record in 4k as far as I know. “Caught in 4k” is a colloquialism for getting caught on camera.
Jalopnik decided on a narrative around Toyota. And even though every story about Toyota indicates otherwise, they stick to it, even if every article has to start with “Toyota unexpectedly.”
Don’t enable this behavior. Having this on jalopnik officially now will be referred to for years from now by idiots with train horns. No one needs a train horn except if they live life as a human asshole. This collision was avoidable without any loud horns. The driver who turned in deserves a penalty but I'm also…
It’s not clear that that is true. Much of the safety in US cars is driven by the Insurance Institute ratings, a non-binding, non-regulatory organization. People look at that and choose the safer cars; my feeling is the Institute over-reports safety as they don’t factor in collisions with far heavier vehicles. Still,…
3rd: I’d like to live in walking distance to the grocery store and work, but my desire for privacy, space, quiet, and a scenic view overrule that. I’ve lived in a city within walking distance of everything, and I now live on 4 acres looking at the mountains. I’ll never go back to city life.
“but our towns, suburbs, and cities choked with six-lane quasi-highways are really unpleasant places to walk.”
It has nothing to do with being a meat-fanatic. It has to do with a company doing something along the lines of what the employees wanted making it a more pleasant place to work to doing what it has decided is best for them. It’s another tiny piece of a return to that late 19th early 20th century parental company…
This absolutely strikes me as greenwashing at the highest level. Like Al Gore driving his Prius to the airport to board his private jet.
This will not convince a single vegan to buy a VW, but will hurt employee morale.
