They might have moved the cones just before he got there, and he was merely the first person who came along who was turning. Had he not dug in, it is very possible that many other people would have been equally confused by the cone placement.

Also, cone placement is largely dictated by speed of traffic. Reasonable…

Correction: ...next 6 were also international racers to that guy... (I’ve got a feeling the kind of guy who utters that bullshit considers California not part of America.)

The shop that used to be in there shut down a while back, and they never replaced the sign. This could be because Uber doesn’t have a great reputation, or San Francisco makes the permitting to get a sign up painfully difficult. (I’d say those are equally likely, but it is probably a combination of both.)

I hate that so much that I break the cable every time I rent a car, and then casually mention it upon return. I’m sure there is a notation in my file, but no one has called me on it yet.

There may be a Chinese director who could help you out with that project. He had his own, totally unique, film about cars.

Or a few directional microphones.

SO ORDERED.

Hon. Aimaway Fromface, III
JUDGE OF THE JALOPNIK SUPERIOR COURT.

MP5 stashed in a unsecured speaker box? Certainly not the first time that’s happened. Might want to scoop that guy up and stash it in the bushes before the cops get there and hope they don’t check the video.

Yeah, but it was never as bad (or as lame) as it has been in the past year or two. I’d say 2009-2010 were pretty good times at Jalopnik.

In the BMW dealer’s defense: the 328 probably depreciates like an open tube of Preparation H compared to a G37.

Craig: I feel you. There was a time when Jalopnik didn’t get all the cross-postings from the other Gawker sites and was allowed to just be its own thing, but in the post-Gawker world, what’s left needs to keep the Gawker reader base, which was large, even at the expense of driving off just-Jalopnik readers, which was…

Oh man, watched that live when I came home from school. They took forever to cut away from that.

You can tell from the comments section who DOESN’T work on German cars. (FYI: This company makes pretty good parts. Been pleased with their Audi wheel bearings.)

The Nebula only messed with their sensors, so they sent a guy with a walkie talkie to look out the front window of the ship.

In Viñales Cuba, in the heat of the late afternoon my wife decided to take a nap so I went exploring. Ran into a guy working on his brakes on what counts for the local basketball court (note the backboard above the car) in a neighborhood park. Between my broken Spanish and his English, we had a short chat about the…

I would imagine that all of them have material representations, but only 1% have a material misrepresentation.

That’s totally it! I saw the circles in the middle of the dash, and thought “4 air vents and a clock”

“...in the front seat of their luxury car.”

I took David’s meaning to be that the neighbor with the H2's complained to him literally zero times, instead choosing to complain to the landlord.

If that is the case, I’m inclined to discount the complaints. His neighbor should treat him as a renter the same he would any other neighbor: if you’ve got a problem with…
