Amen. Zipper merging is for when a lane is ending and “merging” with another land. This is just a “douche move” and it brings me way too much joy that dipshit got busted.

This was not in any way “the zipper maneuver.”
Good. Seriously fuck this guy and everybody like him. They actually slow traffic down because everybody needs to brake to let them in.
What’s amazing to me is not how short the rebuild interval on something like this is, but how long it is on everyday boring cars. Isn’t it kind of incredible that you can buy basically any normal car costing $20,000 to $30,000, and reasonably expect to get 200,000 miles from it without the engine needing major work?
As I was boarding my southwest flight earlier this week, I thought to myself “I’m surprised Jalopnik hasn’t done a “Here’s why there are spirals on airplane engine impeller cones” and poof it’s here.
It’s for stealth. Reduces radar signature.
Why would I want actual information about an upcoming vehicle I might be interested in when I can have all of this snark!
I kind of like it; it’s like an Impreza that could possibly stand a chance on the roads of Dallas.
“We’ll fix it in post.”
This is nothing like the Phaeton...
It’s blocking the sidewalk, doesn’t belong there.
I was behind an SUV while on a motorcycle. Not tailgating, of course. Saw him go over what I thought at first was a sheet of cardboard. It gets sucked up off the pavement and I realize its a sheet of plywood.
This post is 100% correct.

Hat off to you, sir.
