Ok, every time I read one of these lists on Jalopnik, there are many great cars listed... And then you guys take a shortcut. "Rental Car." Really?!? Number 1, too vague. Number 2, most are pieces of crap, even when new. Especially that last-gen Chrysler 200 pictured above. Instead, I'd interject "Any Cheap…

Valid points, although I have been to track days... This definitely wasn't a track day by any stretch of the imagination. If simply exceeding the speed limit on the FDR or the West Side Highway was punishable by a year in jail, there would be no motorist left in New York City to sit on a jury.

There's a book you should read called "Three Felonies a Day." The general idea is that there are so many laws now, that the average person unknowingly commits three felonies per day.

Quite true, my friend.

Also, laws aren't created to prevent victims. Laws are the system of rules that a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members and may enforce by the imposition of penalties. I am not saying he didn't break the law, I am saying that he didn't commit a crime that is punishable…

Just a point of order, if two individuals discharge weapons in a school, and only one person's bullet hits a person, both would probably go to prison. (Assuming that they're not acting in self-defense.) Discharging a firearm in a public building is illegal in most municipalities. And, factoring in that it is a…

What part of this is actually "Reckless?" That is a subjective assessment. Do you drive in New York? Most driving in the Big Apple could be construed as reckless. Look at most yellow cabs. As far as my logic, I am simply stating that without an actual victim, there is no crime. Who has been wronged?

Technically, "Being an asshole" isn't an actual crime, though.

It's a Libertarian doctrine. Murderers get 30 days in jail. A quick lap of Manhattan nets a year? Seems stupid. He's not a criminal... Well, I suppose fleeing the country is a flamboyant criminal act... But, as they say, "Sometimes doing the right thing ain't doing the right thing."

All valid points, sir.

"If?" I'd be willing to bet that you do speed every day, as do most people. If you're operating your vehicle with due regard to others, than yes, you are operating safely. If you did kill somebody, you're culpable. Mr. Afroduck did no such thing.

Not for nothing, but a police officer choked a man to death in Brooklyn (For selling untaxed cigarettes) and the only person arrested in this particular altercation was the man who videotaped it. If you believe that a year in jail is an appropriate sentence for a crime where nobody was hurt, and no personal property…

Is it just me, or is the sentence a little ridiculous? No victim, no crime. An entire year in jail seems a little harsh considering the crime. Good luck to you, Mr. Afroduck.

If it had four wheels, it would be just like the actual "Deltawing" race car.

Well done, Doug. As a working-class Ferrari owner, I agree with just about everything that you've said... And this explains how there are 30-year old cars out there with 20K miles on them. They're driven a few times per month, on a nice sunny Sunday, for a brief jaunt for coffee and back. They're still great cars,…

It is, simply, not the same car. Unfortunate, really.

Just like every other British car. Damn you, Lucas!

I am legitimately surprised with all of the hate here... I am a long-time Wrangler owner, and I recently upgraded to a factory stock JKU Rubicon. Since I bought what was on the floor, I didn't get the "Bare Bones" Wrangler that I had really wanted, and instead got one with the Nav, heated leather seats, automatic…

Flat-plane crank? Let's hear it!

I think that I agree, although the best course of action would be to maybe have one to drive and enjoy... And another to keep as original/stock as possible and only drive to the occasional car show. Think Triumph or MG... There are so many out there that they're still fairly cheap, BUT the really original cars that…
