Gun owner here. Proponent of AR-15s and AKs and .50BMG rifles too. Military weapons are precisely what is protected by the 2nd amendment, which has nothing at all to do with hunting or sport.

For example, according to Jalopnik boss Patrick George, under the plastic panels inside a BMW E30, there were little hand cranks for the windows and sunroof in case the motors failed. I’m sure other cars of that era did that, too, but that’s a cool little piece of information.

One of my favorite games ever. I still listen to the soundtrack routinely.

The F-150 configuration you used for this could easily haul 2,000lbs of payload and still be safer in all ways than the little Mahindra is completely unloaded. Better acceleration, handling, braking, and collision protection.

I might own a ‘Busa some day, because from what I’m told, they are actually pretty comfortable for mid-distance highway trips. I also don’t give shit about the “image” that’s associated with them. They’re fun, very powerful, easy-to-ride, mostly reliable bikes. Used ones with some cosmetic damage are cheap and…

You think subprime auto lending is in a bad state now? Just wait until subprime customers can’t get a loan at all, shady or not.

The death of the Viper is also a sad event for Corvette. Losing your closest rival can be just as painful as losing your closest friend (and sometimes, they are one and the same).

That chassis was never meant to have such a large engine shoehorned into it, making service really difficult.

Struck a deer at 35mph on my motorcycle about 12 years ago. Can confirm, it sucks. Hard.

Because Jag is making them, they are not replicas. New production yes, but they are as legitimate as the originals.

If they sold zero cars this month of last year, that means they’ve gained an infinite percentage increase on sales.

I appreciate the Milan for its machined-finish wheels which have stood the test of time much more favorably than the shitty peeling-chrome wheels that came on my Zephyr. And they’re cheap & plentiful at junkyards.

I agree, that road + that car + 40mph is WAAAY too dangerous for a non stunt driver. While beautiful, a Karmann Ghia is literally a deathtrap by modern standards. No shoulder belts, airbags, ABS, crumple zones. Hitting anything above 20mph in one of those is going to result in a hospital stay.

What a stupid thing for Tarantino to argue with his star actress over. He should have flown in a well-qualified vintage VW mechanic and his/her crew to have that car checked over and repaired to Thurman’s satisfaction before asking her to drive it at speed.

My mom’s 1995 Eagle Vision. I was 10 when we got it.

Thank you for pointing this out as a public service. Car enthusiasts can now safely avoid this city like the plague. I encourage anyone here who is in the market for a new home, send a letter to Minneapolis City Counsel explaining that they have lost a potential taxpayer because of these stupid laws.

By that dictionary definition, a Jaguar D-Type is not an automobile.

If I wanted a 3/4 scale mustang, I’d get one of these instead.

So, how much cheaper is the g159 compared to other heavy duty OTR truck tires in similar sizes?

Does not compute. There is no such thing as shame when it comes to automobiles.
