I feel like a good resolution would be to update the laws to state something along the lines that there can be no factory-owned dealership within (X) amount of miles (or even in the same state) of a franchisee. This would protect existing dealership franchises from factory store pressure, but allow Musk Motors the…

Ya know, sometimes life just sucks and there's nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop people from blaming someone else for it. If the lawsuit progresses, I think the city should bill him for the rescue efforts. After all, if he hadn't been driving too fast for the conditions, the firefighters…

When fighting the forces of physics, something has to give. The give points on stopping a car are the brakes, tire bead, and contact patch. On most cars, the give point is some combination of contact patch and brakes, and the tire bead isn't subjected to enough force to twist the tire this much. But, up the brakes…

I know a lot of people look for a reason to bash Creationists, but in their haste, they left out the most likely explaination: Oklahomans are all terrible at their jobs. Seriously, I live in Texas which you would think would have similar environments, but in fact, every time I go visit my parents in OKC, I am…

I dislike the idea of the government spying on its citizens, as do most people, I assume. However, I can't get motivated to rage about them intercepting internet traffic, as I personally think of the internet as sort of the "electronic public," kind of like I don't expect no one to look at me in a public park as I…

I'm not talking about people rising up. I'm talking about one guy who has recently lost his job, the bank is foreclosing, and his daughter is in the hospital with a terminal illness, then the DEA/ICE violates his wife. Think it through, how much of a problem one person can cause fighting a guerrilla war against…

Who is treating him as anything? I was citing an instance of someone losing it against someone that they had a dispute with. You need to chill with your internet rage and maybe not read stuff in to other people's statement.

So you pretty much made my point for me that it's inevitable (and has already happened), and you somehow got condoning terrorism from that? You're an idiot.

Unreal. I am waiting for them to do this to someone that doesn't have a lot to lose. Citizens of this country have thrown tea into a harbor over a 3% tax, driven an armored bulldozer over a town because of a land dispute, and many other drastic things caused by something much less than the government physically…

How much is it worth to me to wait for the page to load?

You've probably heard that by the time a kid leaves home, it will have cost the parents an average of $300,000. What they don't tell you is that money is primarily spent on shoes and keeping in the latest SUVs/Minivans.

Because it gets expensive to pay someone to tote the 4 kids around in a separate car behind the Vette.

Get your questions ready. John Hennessey will be here LIVE at 12:00 pm EST to chat with Jalopnik readers.

Why? Looks like they might just all off themselves before the first shot is fired. Lord knows they can't drive...

It's too easy for a "writer" to latch on to something like "Walmart is evil and so is everything associated with it" for sensationalism than to actually look into what's going on. The actual headline: "Ford looking for new spokesperson." Matt Hardigree is apparently trying to be the Rush Limbagh of car writers.

So the victim here tried to have an attitude bigger than physics. The guy apparently thought that he is more stubborn than a 3500lb car.

You'd think that being the 4th largest metro in the country now would get us a little pull. Nope. No respect... </Rodney>

So, how do you pay with Chip and PIN at restaurants? Do you give your PIN to the server?

Thank you. I thought the Corsa could be silver, but went with white. I am pretty much illiterate when it comes to everyday models of European cars.
