Say what you will but I'm a fan of this new long horizontal lines trend. I was never a fan of the long vertical center stack look. 

The only thing I can think of is something Jeremy Clarkson used to say when he reviewed a great car from a brand that doesn’t have much cache. People don’t want cars they have to explain “No no, Mazda is not owned by Ford! Their stuff is really high quality!” or “ it’s actually best in class and just as reliable as…

CVT.........

...or when he gets busted for having public sex with an under age male sex worker...

Oh, I think it’ll be about six months before he’s caught taking bribes from whatever sleazy energy company operates in his district and he winds up in jail.

Well that’s just not fair. Melania has a full-time job too. There’s like a contract and shit.

Not “Buy My Book”?

Saturday Night Live is a blessing and a curse. Lovitz has a beach house because of it. But for the rest of his life people will be pointing at him saying, “Yeahhhh, that’s the ticket.”

It’s Jalopnik. The (incorrect) assumption among writers here is that no one who actually cares about driving dynamics spends more than $20k on a car. Or buys a car with a luxury badge. Or buy a two seater not called MX-5 / Miata.

The key to this (and any luxury car except for Porsche) is to buy used after 3-5 years....

Yeah, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard the speaker’s voice more clearly than while reading this story.

so peaceful

Cars in general. The technical stuff. Pricing, options all of that gets me going. But like I mentioned to someone else. My weird vice is buses. Ever since I was a kid. Im actually working on a piece that goes into why I love them and what buses I particularly like.

There’s still the occasional reason to not bring a phone/keys places (the beach, hiking, any rec league sport or group fitness thing)

I remember watching a dad teach his daughter in a parking lot how to open their car with this. Repeating the code aloud. Multiple times.

Jalopnik: We need safer cars!

Jalopnik:pickup trucks are so stupid no one needs one go get a diesel brown wagon

She reminds me of a Theater Kid from my high school who, a couple years after graduation, got taken in by the FBI because she had staged her own kidnapping.

I never gave the possibility of his anger much thought, but that’s an interesting point. You don’t get very far in the flipping business by being ever so easy to get along with. Cost and time are always creeping up to bite you in the ass. Your subs are always saying, ‘money now, work later’. Any holdup puts your neck…
