Yeah, except for the part where that isn’t true.

I think overdriving the car on public roads and hitting a tree killed Paul Walker. Don’t knock their outstanding engineering in creating a car that was a racer at heart.

I recently discovered it and it is wonderful and a breath of fresh air from the usual car shows. Really, Mr. Torchinsky nails it. Mr China will sit down on the show and go over step by step what is needed to fix a particular piece of a car. This clip is a great example of his work: how to replace the drive motor on an…

This has been, bar none, the best car show on broadcast TV. From the sounds of it, there is going to be such a format change that it may lose all of its original honest appeal. The other “car” shows on TV are just scripted reality show non-sense. And that’s not just compared to Wheeler Dealers.

Goddammit.

Wow, looks like they’re about to get alot of sales from Jalopnik commenter now!

A “real” race car would have no tow hook.

These fucking shit fucking fuckers

This. It’s a Fortvac Bernardi. It’s a kit car with a C4 Corvette front end, and the rear suspension (and driveline) are from an Oldsmobile Tornonado, which makes it mid engined. According to the owner, it is as wicked handling as it sounds.

There is no such thing in aviation, and this was a rather serious incident.

This is a situation where a normal (meaning, not Indiana Solo) pilot would lose his licence ASAP.

When it comes to air traffic the definition of “close” (as well as the word “incident”) is very, very different than say, a near miss fender-bender. Air-traffic-control wise this is a pretty serious fuck-up not only because he came that close to an airliner, but because he’s in the wrong place altogether.

Because a dual-clutch is, technically, a manual transmission. If most people today understood why race drivers originally preferred manual transmissions (years ago) then they would understand why a dual-clutch is transmission technology at its finest. It wasn’t because of the cock-grabbing feel of shifting for…

So much wrong here... Torsen is not viscous coupling...its a helical gear differential. And its the same 60/40 split as Xdrive. Xdrive is viscous coupling and only recently became e-viscous. The most notable advantages to the helical diff is it is always working and theoretically never wears out as there’s no friction…

That will make your username even more relevant.

It’s done quite regularly, has been for years. However, the power produced is not a very big percentage of the power grid. It’s also not much of a cost savings because of maintenance of extra equipment needed, cost of aligning frequency on A/C dynos, cost of inverters for DC dynos, etc. It’s a drop in the bucket…

Exactly this. I come here to get away from this kind of journalism...

It seems like Jalopnik has become an echo chamber for political views that ignore both sides of an argument and agree with whatever MSNBC said this morning. I liked it more when it was about cars. I’ll take my clicks elsewhere so someone else can make their fractions of a penny on my viewership.

Get back to us when you can include this sentence in your story: “Brown, who was only identifiable through DNA pube analysis, was deposited across several hundred yards of California freeway in a long, runny smear of bone matter and excrement.”
