You paid how much for a fucking Nissan?!

Yep. Or even something slightly crazier than an exotic. I mean, 8.4 liters? 10 Cylinders? EIGHT POINT FOUR LITERS??????

Talk about a no-win situation for Volkswagen. Yes, they avoided having the UAW come into their Tennessee plant and run a 'Works Council' in the mostly un-unionized automaking South, but the fallout from that continues and it's not entirely clear they wanted the UAW to lose.

He's angry because his team lost, but he has a point about the shot clock. The high school game has changed a lot since the mid-nineties, when I played, and it's time to institute a shot clock in MN high school basketball, boys and girls. 45 seconds?

Breathe. I read your comment after showing my six-year-old the clip and telling him that while the shot was cool for a kid his age to see that my heart breaks for the Shakopee kids, because no one wants to lose such an important game in this way. Particularly when Shakopee was handling Hopkins in that zone, even…

In less derogatory terms, I agree with you completely. I spent time working for a high D-1 basketball team whose coach luckily believed first and foremost that the goal of the game is to score the damn ball. It's why I hate teams (especially big time programs like Cincy, Pitt a lot of Big 10 teams) that not only milk…

I guess I'll engage you because my life is meaningless (and obviously yours is too) and just provide a little more context to tonight. I'm not saying what Hopkins did is "right" or stands up to some arbitrary, morally relativistic view of what basketball should be because I think what they did is bullshit. But I've…

This isn't the first time Hopkins has hit a wild shot in overtime at the state championships. You might remember this guy.

Navistar. A LoneStar based limo pulling up to the G8 conference would make Putin shart himself... or get an erection... or both. Either way, it would be badass. Murica!

Autobahn style speed limits. There's absolutely no reason why a perfectly flat, straight, and wide stretch of road in West Texas with no traffic needs the same speed limit as one just outside a major city with traffic and potholes and turns and hills. Stop acting like it does, Department of Transportation...

Faygo is an institution that has been around forever. Jones is johnny-come-lately hipster juice.

WHOOPS! I was thinking of seating position.

That's not entirely true. The DT466 may be bigger than the ISB, but the ratings are pretty much identical. It is the larger displacement version of the DT466 engine (9.3l) called the Maxxforce 9 & 10 that competes with the ISL.

La Coupole in France is a pretty interesting site (V2 factory and launch base from WW2)

I misunderstood the question. My answers were VW Vanagon and '87 Corolla wagon, and let me tell you I've known a lot of burnouts over the years.

Yeah, crime immediately stops when snow hits the ground. Thanks for pointing that out.

Backstory: LeDuff, an author we've featured a few times here on Jalopnik, was working for the local Fox affiliate. He was promoted to host a syndicated show that airs on Fox News and other Fox affiliates nationwide. So technically, he's "Fox News" but he's not Fox News, if you get what I'm saying.

80 grand for something that I assume was acquired with Marlboro Miles? Original owner must need a new lung or two... CP

Downtown Detroit is not scary

The Henry ford Museum, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, plus industrial equipment and a HOUSE!
