A lot of cars sold in the US can reach 60mph in 2nd gear because one less shift makes their 0-60 times look better. Sometimes the overly long 2nd gear makes the car less fun to drive... but the marketing department gets better numbers to work with.

That 12yo boy may have learned it somewhere else but he still lives with his parents. When I was young (8?) living in the suburbs of Chicago in the ‘70s, a little boy told me all about a club. There were wizards and robes and it sounded amazing to an 8yo. I told my parents about it and they shut it right the fuck down…
I’ve got a 2004 VW R32 with an exhaust leak and some rust. Otherwise mechanically solid.
Wheel diameter should be as small as possible and still clear the brakes. Then add rubber.
If everyone in America stopped working on Mondays our productivity would still be sky high compared to a few decades ago. Just like our salaries. 🙄
Hockey officiating is what makes me turn the television off. It’s less like a professional sport and more like professional wrestling. At least in wrestling, the official flags the wrong person because it was scripted. In hockey, the officiating is just that bad.
Born in the 70s would mean playing D&D in the 80s. 1980s D&D was complicated as hell... this guy would not have been able to manage it.
I apologize on behalf of white people. I speak up and try to stop it, but I think the worst racists just do their racist shit behind my back. Thankfully, history will show CK as the hero he is... but until then people who look just like me and my family will be assholes to everyone that doesn’t look like us.
I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder of Philly than I am after reading this. In a country that gets so much wrong when it comes to race... I like to think that Philadelphia gets less of it wrong than most.
I have caught air in several cars, several times, but one time in particular stands out. It was a dry, sunny day in late fall. I was driving a straight, unpopulated country road in the exurbs of Philly. I knew the road well and had driven it many times in my old 1996 Nissan 200SX SE-R.
A Tire Rack ad masquerading as an article is shady but Jalopnik’s gotta eat. However, the article itself is giving bad advice. Of course dedicated tires outperform on snow and ice... but how many of us drive under those conditions?
The only ‘violent gang’ in that situation was the NYPD.
What? What the? This is wrong on so many levels and in so many ways.
Yes. They are a separate race and they are blue... and their lives matter. /sarcasm
When people say that the Civil War was about state’s rights, they’re taking the cause for war out of context.
Officiating remains the reason I don’t watch more hockey. The closest comparison to hockey officiating is professional wrestling officiating.
Inferior vena cava is in the abdomen, not the thigh.
Whenever there’s more than a dusting of snow but less than 6" or so, my car has a tendency to slide sideways through deserted parking lots while the RPMs hover from 3k to 7k.
