Cash For Clunkers. The program drove up the prices of used cars and took lots of otherwise viable vehicles off the road. A lot of cars and trucks met an early and unnecessary end.

Yep. They are trained to be killing machines. We let them go fight and experience things most people couldn't imagine. Then we expect them to just go back to normal life like it's no big deal.
Also, from what I understand there is currently about a 2-year waiting list in the VA to get into a mental health program to deal with PTSD. That is a really pathetic commentary on our society if you ask me. Shameful.
You know how the government is... it's a large, slow moving, oft-misguided and clumsy entity with (generally) the best of intentions. The folks at the VA are (generally) good people, and the people doing the screenings are (generally) trying to help. It's just such a complex situation, it's almost impossible to…
Having deployed a number of times and been given a "mental health" eval at the end of each, I can tell you this: there is no middle-ground on the diagnosis of PTSD / combat stress according to the system. This Marine, like myself and every Soldier I have ever served alongside will never admit to a problem during…
Many years ago I drove a delivery van for an advertising agency. One day, a driver cut me off and I flipped the bird at him. The guy stopped in the middle of a three lane street, got out, came back to my van, opened the door and tried to drag me out, all the while screaming "Get the fuck out of the van!" I was seat…
So this guy is a Purple Heart back from 5 tours in Afghanistan. I'm pretty sure this is classic PTSD stuff. He was obviously suffering some sort of mental break. There should be consequences, but this video should be less about "punish that asshole" and more about "our returning vets need help." It's a shame this is…
What does anyone expect? News flash, young men around the world are angry. Stop the presses somebody please. As for hurting someone, nice disconnect from reality. He's a MARINE. The whole point of his existence is to lay hurt someone for real. Left, right, left, right kill. Not everyone's existence is balanced…
Before anyone calls this an "anti-american" comment, it isnt, actually I believe the US has the capability to do much better than this crap.
The words "Hennessy" and "production" don't belong in the same sentence.
No airbag + cage + no catalysts = not a production car.
... And then Bugatti says: "yeah, we limit our performance, but then again, Veyron is not a kit car based on a Lotus Elise Exige"...
Ok John, so tell me how long do the tires last with your car and at top speed? The reason why the Veyron is limited is because they know the limits of everything with the car. Sides the car is more GT car. They didnt just take a Lotus, shove a Corvette motor in it, give it MORE POWER, then sell it to the public…
Why can't we discuss the sponsored Ford post? I'm happy Jalopnik is getting some well needed income..its a free site and all, but still, yuck.
I tried playing the spinoff, Stanford Prison Architect, but my guards were always in berserk mode.
Shelby's signature just doesn't do it for me. I'm not a huge Shelby fan as it is and I can't see paying that price for an old Viper. Yes it's in great shape with crazy low miles - but if you hunt long enough you can find a well cared for low miles Viper for 20's.
WHY DID I CLICK THAT.
I have nothing to say about the car except that that wrap job is pretty silly but otherwise completely epic.
I guarantee you, a 13 grand Ferrari will be the most expensive Ferrari you ever own.
