In Russia, road crashes into you.

i'm always slightly sad when the headlining picture really has nothing to do with the contents.

BMW can afford to take the hit. They also sell it for cheaper than their automatic, even though it takes way more work for them to develop a car with a safe, reliable manual transmission (in that same article). By every reasonable metric, a manual M-car should cost however much more (I think it's $1500 to $2k) than

You can look at it from that angle as well:

This man has a terrific mustache.

I'm a bad person.

That's a good point, but the NHSTA doesn't investigate where the cause of the accident is easily attributable to extrinsic factors. I don't know enough about the latest fire, but I do know that the first fire was due to road debris puncturing the underside of the vehicle. NHTSA agreed with the investigator's findings

Of course, there is still the chance that the NHTSA will mandate a recall if they see an issue. And then, in that case, Musk will need to eat his words.

Heyyyyyyyy Mama Lock Me!

This should be called "What Car Do I Hear?: A Jalop's Guide to Identifying Supercars by Engine Start-up Sound"

/ industry: have an insight ( first gen)
/enthusiasts: FU we want more interior space

Why are there no headlines when Camry's catch fire? Maybe we'd finally get rid of the damned things.

Later that day, the revolving door was fined $25,000 for what Bernie defined as an illegal doughnut.

Id love to see Piers on an episode of Top Gear

My brain keeps interpreting FC凸DECK it as "FuckDeck".

I agree. Just my two cents: I think the tumbler was the best batmobile BECAUSE it didn't look like any other kind of car. When you're fighting a one man war, do you want a caddy? Or a tank?

The Tumbler was a great batmobile, utterly insane, but it looked like it belonged to the real world.

Visual representation of Automatch's debating prowess demonstrated in this thread:

Wow dude. It's ok, you don't have to like diesels. When I said, "this is why we can't have nice things I did not say fast things." This is Jalopnik, many of us like wagons, diesels, and BMWs. The M550d is all three, it is a nice thing. For some of us 0-60 times are not the end-all, be-all that determines a car's worth
