You’re probably right, unfortunately. And everyone will feign ignorance and say “what were we thinking” afterwards.

What the what??? I just had to double check if this was Jalopnik.. I thought I was reading the LA TIMES. Well Bradley not to worry my 2017 suburban fits nicely in my driveway next to my jaguar super 8 and cooper s. Maybe you can park your model 3 at your Peloton class or at Whole foods. Good lord. 

This is the model that software companies use to get students familiarized with (and addicted to) their products in university, and it works really fucking well.

By golly yes it will!

Oh for sure m8, it’s faster than the clappers of hell. It’s faster than my F800 which is half the weight at most. Just surprised that it wasn’t 200+ hp and tq at that weight. 

This is the most logical response I’ve read here today.

I’d argue that there are few vehicles more Jalop than an XJ Cherokee. A boxy 4WD SUV that is actually utilitarian and has real-deal off-road chops is a whole different ballgame from an egg on stilts.

id say it meets the real jalop quirky metric

It still boggles my mind that I can’t just go to a manufacturer’s car configurator, spec out a car the way I want it, and then order one to be delivered to my door. The dealership model is absolutely insane and serves the interests of no-one but a bunch of predatory middle-men. Car shopping absolutely sucks, and…

That looks like it may be the same frame as my mid-90's Trek 970 (by then, Trek had acquired Gary Fisher). If so, after I had done all the work to get it back into shape as an okay modern MTB, I realized that it probably had the potential to have been a perfect road frame based on its geometry. That was something I…

Otto clearly inherited his mother's hair.

Even more technically, any ballistic trajectory is still an orbit, albeit with a negative perigee.

Agreed. Also Overlanding:

It’s doing well right now.  Unemployment is low.

Yeah, greatest bull market in history, unemployment @ ~3.6%, inflation staying in the 2-2.5% range. Seems at least ok to me. In a broad sense of course, not for everyone’s situation. But there should be plenty of people willing to pay $500 for a new console. Especially considering $500 in today’s money would be under…

I think I was only one of a few people in the audience when that came out that rolled my eyes and didn’t break out in guffaws.

This is going to be a real conundrum for all the online commenters claiming that they were totally going to buy it if it just came with two doors/a removeable roof/etc..

Part of it, I think, is the type of people who tend to play the lottery don’t understand what to do with money, which is possibly why they pin their hopes on a lottery win in the first place.
