Mid-tier is useful for when your low-compression commuter starts to want to knock on uphill grades because it has 150,000 miles on the engine and could probably use some new plugs and a good seafoaming...

In fact, hat’s when your guard should be at its highest.

This would be awesome, if countermeasures weren’t cheap and easy to implement:

That was a good read!
One comment though - with a solid body like that and no ventilation, that rebuilt engine is going to lead a short, unhappy life. It needs airflow and it’s definitely not getting it the way the car body is set up in those photos.

Why would a company continue to invest in product lines that aren’t profitable, or aren’t as profitable as others that aren’t yet maxed out? I understand hedge theory, but frankly, Ford is just admitting that there are certain things they don’t do well and can’t seem to get better at, at least in the short term.

That was a whole lot of words to say, “Because then nobody would buy them”...

I don’t know why there is so much noise about a “mid engine Corvette” lately - the 1997 model year (and every Corvette since) has a mid engine layout.

With the stupid amount of money that Top Gear has made (and continues to make) they should be able to buy land and recreate the test track turn for turn on literally any flat patch of real estate large enough and far enough away from neighbors. If they choose to abandon all that “data” it’s because they lack the…

A couple comments - First, nobody on Jalop will actually proofread or edit your work except you, so here’s a couple typos you might want to look after...

It was bad, catastrophically so.

seems interesting that the mid-rear engine corvette looks like it has a completely different TT V8 setup

Was the airport there when you bought the house? Yes? Then perhaps you should pound some sand.

Also, Ben has a long history of trying to tell people what to do, and failing. Like when his company tried to find a CEO to replace him who was capable of actually running the company for only 5 times the lowest-paid…

As part of our man Jason Torchinsky’s visit to the Volvo Trucks plant in Virginia, they allowed him a stay for one night inside a big rig for the “full trucking experience.” (It was our idea, by the way. Not Volvo’s. But kudos to them for being good sports, and as EIC of Jalopnik, allow me to apologize for any…

Any earthly organism that can survive being repeatedly baked and frozen, a hard vacuum, and exposure to raw sunlight and interplanetary radiation for the eons it will take for this “spacecraft” to intersect with another planetary body, then ALSO survive re-entry should that body have an appreciable atmosphere EFFING…

Buy a book online, get FBI scrutiny.
Post multiple credible threats against a school? Nothing to see here...

Holy shit that will murder your knives. Either keep them dull, have a pro sharpen them, or spend $10 on a proper two-sided stone, watch one of the thousand or so YouTube videos on the topic, and do it right.

I can spell, I proofread everything before I post, and I have about 15 years worth of experience in both print and digital publishing.

I am ridiculously overqualified, I fear.

Maybe they were gender-fluid. Don’t judge!

It’s a good thing they caught that guy. He might have ended up being the first person in history to cause an aircraft or helicopter to crash, be forced to land, or suffer more than a momentary inconvenience from being lased.

You’re an idiot. You used credit responsibly and got a reliable car in return. If you think it should be worth more at the end of the loan period than what you paid for it, you’re also delusional.
