Came here for this and am not disappointed. Wife’s mini has 91 k on it and all the random stuff is falling apart; third brake light developed a short ($140), hood chrome trim piece had to be replaced because all the plastic dried out, hood badge replaced. I think it needs all the front suspension bushing replaced but…

Jalopnik needs 100% more this and 100% fewer shitty jokes from...literally all of their writers.

Yeah, my first thought was “why didn’t Torch just put a Tesla badge on a Colani truck?”

You know what? I spent a lot of seat time in a 4C, I’m beginning to think you journalists telling us how terrible this little Alfa is are the posers. For the life of me, I can’t understand how anyone can complain about such honest to god fucking awesome steering, decent ride quality for the handles like its on rails…

My 63 olds 4dr HT. No pillar makes it fun, but everyone asks if it has suicide doors. The look of disappointment...

You know when you know you’re old? When you perk the fuck up and pay attention during Mr. Regular’s brief lecture on postmodernism and American ideals. Anti-intellectual philistines are going to complain that is was boring or stupid or had nothing to do with cars. Those people are missing the point. Shit like this is…

Fellow member of the Brown Car Appreciation Society?

Funny you bring these up. All Jeeps pre-1992 are “classic” Jeeps as of 2016....

Not with that tiny airline and probably a 90 PSI compressor.

First thing I noticed, too.

From what I can see in the pictures (second picture, he says the first was after assembly)... he didn’t completely undo the stake in the stake nut. I can see witness marks where it looks like he tried and he claims he did, but it doesn’t look to me like it’s completely clear of the threads.

It says here you were in jail for 4 years. What happened?

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.

The benefits of having a robot brain in a real-world fighter jet are obvious. A computer doesn’t get fatigued. It doesn’t get a case of the Mondays. It doesn’t have personal problems to bring to work and it doesn’t have its own set of morals that might interfere with its interpretation of orders.

A more experienced rider would have counter-steered an emergency lane change the moment that thing started to drop.

Looks like he was just trying to lean+brake out of the way instead of putting all his pressure on the right handlebar.

this almost made me cry because of how sincere he was

Yup, you're totally correct. Wartime nicknames are not meant to be taken literally; this would be the equivalent of declaring "Stonewall" Jackson the first man to be made of stone.

The Constitution didn't play a huge roll in defeating the British in the War of 1812, but it was one of the first important battleships to use iron armor giving it the nickname "old ironsides." This influence is felt even in today's modern aircraft carriers.
