Fernando Alonso $305K....that would kind of be a life changing sum of money for me and most people, but for him thats like...he could literally place that sum in a shoebox and hand it to a random person on the street and never miss it. 40m annual salary with McLaren.

They should cut him some slack, he was just trying to take his date to her high school prom.

Speaking as someone who works in auto parts manufacturing in the US, automation is indeed the name of the game. We have a subsidiary plant in Mexico. What they do with 7-10 people, we do with 2-3 because our facility is far more automated.

I made the trip to Indy with my dad for his birthday bucket list event. While walking out, a guy says, “I can’t believe a damn Jap one the race. Shoulda been one of the other top guys”.

If you leave your windshield up you’re a pussy.

You’re not a tool. You’re a hero.

You’re aren’t a tool, they are haters.

Not nearly as embarrassing as people who drive with their convertible top down and all the windows up. Pick a stance. Don’t half ass it.

Great idea. Especially because I disagree with your pick :)

This. ALL OF THIS. An ‘ask the audience’ or Jalopnik Congress if you will. Use a similar format to Graverobber’s NPCP. I know it has been requested before, but I’d also love to hear followups as to what cars the person actually ends up purchasing.

I agree with that feature, and also that gorgeous silver Porsche. I think that might be the nicest Porsche they’ve ever made.

Certainly the best take of them all. Still giggling.

Oh hey thanks, friend!

I like where you are going on V12, but the real problem isn’t the Maybach, it’s the G class. The V12 is arguably the worst motor for this truck yet it is an $80k premium.

You kinda have to understand BC, Richmond and Vancouver to really get what is at play.

I was picked on a lot as a kid and it was often directed at my somewhat defiant love of GameCube. It really sucked and probably contributed to triggering the depression I came to struggle with for the years following (and now manage). And I gotta say, all the sorrow that came in response for my love of GameCube was…

Also KILLER 7, DAMMIT. A game as a postmodern installation that will leave you feeling as if you had partook of several illegal substances at the same time.
