TIL lift vessels sure are interesting boats.

5th gear.

They REFUSED to publish my story about my Miata getting locked to a Supercharger! It’s been there 7 months, still on E. 

Pull in and pull out baby.

I’m a strong proponent of backing into a space, if only for the fact that when I’m ready to leave at the end of the day I’m likely a lot more fatigued than when I arrived, and I’d rather not have to crane my stiff, tired body around to see who’s getting the parking lot wrong. Better to be able to see them clearly.

It’s situational. Going to get groceries? Pull in forward. Parking in a lot with less traffic? Back in. With the proliferation of back up cameras, especially the ones that curve the limit lines when you turn the wheel, it should only take one try. If you can’t back into a spot in one try, go over to an empty parking…

Come on, it’s not such an outlandish statement to say that Skoda is happy to have Block driving one of their cars, even if the actual machine is rented form another privateer for a single event. You’re probably right that Skoda had nothing to do with it, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t capitalising on it. In that…

To be fair the last time a WRC spec car was rallying in the USA was only in 2019.

and it’s probably a bad idea in general to sell a car with a top speed of 174.

Can’t wait to see the slideshow of all the comments. 

I’m getting old. I read “interior seems worth $85k” and I think that it should look like this

Thanks, this was highly informative, even if it’s for something I’ll never appreciate.

Just the right age and miles to start the long, expensive march to the junkyard.

But it only takes Raph throwing a temper tantrum to put you back in them.

Just tell me it’s diesel and I can climax.

Very uncommon.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard about shiny expensive metal getting written off by members of the industry and then it just never gets written about or disclosed.

It happens with more regularity than you might think, Jalopnik certainly isn’t alone in this, but we’re the only ones willing to tell the world…

Uhhhh, what? You are aware that Mars is vastly different than the moon right?

Bit further than the moon.

We do have awards in the journalistic fields for this kind of massively-informative and interesting long form article, right?
