The Mighty FC. If they could have made this, it would be the Jeep in my driveway instead of an YJ.
Big cab, big bed very little wasted space.  Imagine this with a camper.

Fuck these selfish assholes.

Um, they went silent because they all knew the stream was live.  At least one giggled.  I’m going with SOP.

Um, everybody went silent on the stream, no one thought what he said was OK.

I totally get these concerns. Considered on paper, it really is kind of stupid: converting solar energy.... back to hydrocarbons, only to burn them again?

And Paul Tracy hit 250mph in an Indycar on the backstretch at Fontana; I was talking about an average lap speed, not the top speed it ever saw, one time, on the fastest part of the fastest track it was ever driven on.

And here I wondered what I was going to do with my night.

Interesting. The installation instructions for the Graco 4Ever seat we used for our youngest gave installation instructions for LATCH or the seatbelt, but not both at the same time. She’s in a booster now, which uses the seatbelt (the Graco ended up not being quite 4Ever after all).

Use the Federally mandated LATCH system. Problem solved.

Glad to hear that everyone is so excited about getting a couple thousand off a car because a virus is killing thousands (possibly millions) of people and millions are losing their jobs. But hey, I got this for $1500 under invoice so woo-hoo!

I don’t get the blanket outrage for people being landlords. Are they good landlords? Do they take care of the property? Do they offer reasonable rental rates comparable to similar properties? Do they keep rent increases limited? Then what’s the problem with making an investment that provides a decent place to live?

Amen - there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the Bell-Shepards owning some apartments. In fact, as rental housing stock in LA goes, you’re much better off having a celebrity couple like them for landlords (they’ll fix things, if only to avoid bad press) than some real estate investment ghoul like Steve Mnuchin who

Yeah I thought that was really weird to have here. They took the step when so many corporate landlords aren’t doing shit.  Like why are they being called out here?

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

I’ve got the budget (until recently) and time to dabble automotively but not to actually get into SCCA or HPDE on a regular basis, I suspect this is a common situation on here.

Yea, and dissolving the CDC’s pandemic response team ... that’s looking like really solid decision making. I’m sure the it made GREAT fiscal sense, like cutting most preventive maintenance/vanguard programs does if you are an idiot.

You see, Jalopnik did a site-wide audit, and your name came up as one that did not originally pay to be out of the greys . . .

This hot take brought to you by the same website that ran a piece entitled “Safari All The Cars”:

For YEARS writers across many car mags and websites (Jalopnik especially) kept saying “when oil goes back up, people will move away from SUVs and trucks in droves”
