AMC bought Jeep in 1970. What happened before that has no bearing on anything I said. The CJ7 with the I4 came out at the same time as the XJ, so that has no bearing on what I said, either. The head of production development for AMC in 1979 was Francois Castaing, who was put in that position from by Renault. The XJ…

It was a unibody, four cylinder available with two wheel drive, the first Jeep to have any of those things, much less in combination, since AMC bought company. It was, in fact, designed by Renault for sale in Europe, but that merger broke up before that happened. It was joke of a replacement for the SJ Cherokee, and…

No, this is a Cherokee. That is some bullshit Chrysler built.

Here's the thing you have to remember about wagons, for about 15-20 years, they were SLOOOOOW. The days of the 455ci Vista Cruisers were long gone by the late 70s and 80s, and the weezy i4s and V6s of those days could barely handle the coupes and sedans they were built for. Add in the extra weight and cargo of a wagon…

Max Fleischer had a very unique style even in the 30s and 40s, and that game has captured it perfectly. I think all of his stuff is Public Domain, now, so if your interested, you should hit YouTube and watch some. He did a very good Superman series in the 40s, but most of his studio's stuff was just weird and awesome.

Sovereign citizens, also called Freemen on the Land, are not Tea Party folks. They believe in a very specific, and completely false, idea that they can "opt out" of any kind of governmentship if they fail to consent to be ruled. They believe that they are literally "sovereign", that is, nations in their own right and…

Hate to tell you this, but medicinal leeches themselves were never quackery, but how they were used 200 years ago was, and still is to this day. We have recently found another use for leeches besides trying to cure disease by achieving the proper balance in vital fluids in ones body. They were a tool to an end then,…

When the minivan came out, there was no such thing as a large commercial van. That was just called a van. A minivan is a miniature version of that. And, yes, even the larger minivans of today are much smaller than a regular van.

The words are real. They have actual meanings in English meant to elicit a response, which is why you are using them. The people playing the characters are still real, even if they are pretending to be someone else. And are you seriously defending your actions by comparing them to that of a child?

A game is part of real life is the part you are missing. The people are real, the words are real, the feelings are real, the time that is spent playing it is real. Even, to an extent, the actions in the game are real in that they effect those other things. "It's a game" is not an excuse, unless the game is…

No, you think your fun is more important than everyone else's. That's the Special Pleading. You 'play rough'. You 'shouldn't have to play by those rules'. If they don't like it, well, they are the ones to blame. They are the ones who have to correct for your behavior if they don't like it, no matter how many of them…

You are not a special little snowflake. Everyone else playing those games has a job or goes to school, and they aren't paid to play the game either. Why do you get the play the way that you want, when they don't? Why do you get to take a feature of the game from them because they don't want to deal with you? You are…

In my part of NW FLA its the Mustang. Old, new, classic, beater...things are like cockroaches.

Ah, the good old Ford Temporary...

We are actually two continents, North and South America. North America is further divided into three regions. North Americans refers exclusively to those from the USA, Canada and Mexico. People from the North American continent but below Mexico are called Central Americans, while those from the Caribbean islands don't…

"America" refers to the United States of America as "Canada" refers to the Dominion of Canada, "Germany" refers to the Federated Republic of Germany, "China" refers to the People's Republic of China, "France" refers to the French Republic, "Australia" refers to the Commonwealth of Australia, and on and on for every…

So? Puerto Rican are US citizens, and have been for nearly 100 years. Puerto Rico itself is as much a part of the US as Hawaii and Alaska were when the Japanese attacked them in 1941 and 1942 respectively. Puerto Ricans flying that flag have fought valiantly for the US since 1952, and have even gone into space. While…

Stock, a 2011 Challenger will pull 0.9G on the skidpad, which is the same as stock Miata...

It's a 30 year old commuter car that douchebags have convince themselves is a sports car. But, I think this poll has proven that the douchebag is strong on Jalopnik...

I've heard they really like putting it in the rear...
