Human decency doesn’t broadly go out the window after a blizzard or any other localized disaster. Human decency is broadly demonstrated by these events.

Note that after every major disaster, the very first people to arrive to help are your friends and neighbors, frequently before the ‘first responders’ actually get…

Prayers and solidarity to that family.

Step 1 - ignore the left side of this site.

Having spent 7 years working in a steakhouse, I can attest that there are exactly two kinds of adults who eat steak like this:

I tend to agree with that for most cars. 6 speed transmissions are objectively better on the track, but for daily driving I prefer a 5 speed if I have the choice.

The six speed is pretty much no performance boost. They didn’t put in much taller or shorter gears, they just spread them out more, so you don’t get better acceleration or better gas mileage, there is just more shifting. Fun on the rural highways, bitch in bumper to bumper grind. Unless you need the extra control for…

Oh sure. When the dog climbs into an open cop car it’s cute and understandable. But when I do it I’m “going to jail for sure” and “a sick son-of-a-bitch and need to put my pants back on”.

True story: When Joanne Woodward wanted to give her husband Paul Newman a Mini for Christmas, they were able to drive it up onto the porch and get it through the double doors into house and into the room with the tree.

When I picture the potential buyer of this car, I picture an exquisitely grumpy old man named Harold. He doesn’t want any of that “fancy stuff”. He doesn’t need navigation (“We took the beaches at Normandy without a goddamn GPS, you can bet your ass I can make it to Safeway without one”). He doesn’t need power…

Im a fan of the modernized vintage bike. Even with my ginormous BMW (which I LOVE), there is still room in my paddock for something like this.

Oh man... I was 18 Years old. Just out of high school and was a nerd/car guy. Most of my friends consisted of video gamers or guys who worked on their cars late at night. I worked for a small local mod shop and at the time (2005) the 240sx scene was booming because most cars were in good shape. This was the proper…

We’ve finally found 100% real proof that yes, indeed, there is sentient life in Congress that recognizes scientific endeavors and is ready to do something to get it to work.

I’ve posted this before, but it bears repeating.

I see no problem with the underwater cameras, I see a problem with freaking out over seeing a woman’s nipple, especially in this context. They’re not sex objects, they’re athletes competing. This view gives a good look at a sport where a lot more happens under the surface of the water than the casual fan realizes.…

I know this is Jalopnik so I will be taken out and shot for saying this, but this is why we need better public transportation and more walkable communities. So many people just don’t care at all about cars or driving and these are typically your inattentive drivers. They see a car as a chair in a box that gets you…

Once they called and asked about my vehicle. I told them that it was totaled and I lost my daughter in the accident.

You all need to quit posting this crap. LC80s were finally getting old enough to come down to a good price. They were a great little secret, awesome trucks, very capable, reliable, and understated. I purchased a 1996 triple locked, totally stock for around $3k a few years ago. With all of these stories, everything…

The 2009 Ghostbusters game isn’t perfect, but damn if it isn’t fun. I think of it (and obviously I’m not the only one who does) as Ghostbusters 3, and I still play it every now and then because bustin’ makes me feel good. It’s a great time. And the multiplayer was pretty awesome, too.

disagree totally; let the audience decide. I started a blog and a podcast and now have thousands that have seen them. In a year and a half I got 42k twitter followers and many follow me. I dont want fame or to be known but I let my listeners decide. Sometimes I get thousands; sometimes hundreds; its up to the…
