I can assure you, NONE of these safety arguments have any thing to do with public safety. The only thing that actually matters is protecting the interests of the automakers.

It is about as American as the Ford GT. It is also a lovely shade of Blue!!!

One of the early 2000 Zagato bodied examples.

Love the Planetary Defense Force front bumper guard. Looks like something from a Halo game!

Is it ridiculous? Of course it is. It is as heinous as a Vuitton iPhone case, and you know what? The sales will be positively smashing. If it helps you, think of it as the equivalent of a Marvel universe film. Long, vulgar, and expensive as hell to make, but it is exactly what the target audience wants. Yes, it is…

The megalomaniacal technocrats who designed this have never heard of IMSA, Le Mans, TT racing or Monaco. Rest assured, if these tiny techno Hitlers ever get wind of such an event, they will be writing to Congress to have them banned. Waaaaaay tooooo risky. Do not let their friendly faces fool you, these cutesy…

Here, here! Savor these precious times my Jalop brethren. Before we know it, these will be the mandated norm. Because lobbyists. Because Congress. Because insurance companies that are just itching to charge us a premium for breathing. Because suck.

Here, here! I appreciate these comments but do not worry, my Mother and Father both practice, and I have developed a good natured appreciation for lawyer jokes. Have a good one !

I look forward to the Glen making a comeback. IMO, A large part of the reason that American tracks have these weird popularity surges and dips is due to the spotty nature of the television coverage. I wish that America had a dedicated hub similar to Eurosport. Whenever people tell me there is simply a lack of…

I know what you mean. I am studying for the bar right now, for PA, and I like to think that I will not have to deal with moronic frivolities but I know such thinking is delusional.

I think you raise a good point. Never underestimate the plaintiff’’s bar. On a different note, I am actually glad that autonomous cars face hurdles. I do not want them. For some reason, this blog is comically optimistic about autonomous cars and their introduction “freeing up the roadways” and allowing the…

I like it when they use term “small crossovers” to describe these whales. I had the XK out the other day, and good god, these “compact” cars are fucking dinosaurs! Good thing the morons behind the wheels of said whales were paying attention!

LMAO!!!

Mr. George, you are wonderful. That is all.

The borrowed styling is not necessarily the fault of the designer. There are so many BS regulations these days, there simply is not much latitude to make a super swoopy supersonic Ghia body. But I agree with you, I think it looks really good.

Haha I know but it is kind of what makes Jalopnik, well, Jalopnik.

I hear stuff like this and I wonder how the system has trundled along for so long. Reforms are loooooong over due.

No you are right, that number was absurd.

The unpredictability of juries and the staggering cost of litigation are two of the main reasons to push settlements. Some civil matters can be handled sans jury, and those are advisable in certain volatile situations. Meanwhile, judges are often unpredictable too. Lastly, lots of emotions in this type of case.…

Very tasteful. That massive badge*, absolutely screams sophistication.
