Thanks, Seventeen, God knows there aren’t enough avenues encouraging teenagers to act like sociopaths.

Didn’t we establish that the minimum balance on a starbucks card is $5? *Checks* Yes, yes we did.

Tantaros isn't a self-loathing bitch, but...

Hey Aaron, classy move on deleting my post. I’d rather you confront me than use your editing power against me. I know I’m that stick in the mud, but seriously, you’re like that guy who asks if everyone wants Pizza at a lactose intolerance meeting, and then goes ahead and orders it anyways when everyone starts moaning.

D…

I’d love to get the ole AC/radio buttons back. So many new cars require you to memorize a complex series of swipes and gestures with 0 tactile feedback. I just want to crank up the goddamn heat, where’s the tumbler I can just spin right without looking?!

Overly passive, clueless drivers are the most dangerous on the road.

Yea, but what is the R^2 of the variables they are asserting have an effect?

First, welcome to Jalopnik Justin! Congratulations on your new gig! When you’re getting road blocked there is nothing you can do about it (both lanes blocked on two lane divided highway or a two lane road with traffic oncoming and a turtle in front) I’m thinking more along of the lines of California’s freeways or some…

Except if its from cellphone use, why is this year especially deadly? If it was entirely attributable to cellphones you should see a slow and steady climb starting in the early 2000s and probably getting a bump in 2008 with the rise of smartphones. And this should be especially pronounced in young drivers. But none of…

Hmmmmm... When did the Hellcat come out?

Okay, the number of fatalities per mile driven went up. The first, obvious follow up question should be what the total number of accidents per mile did. Then at least we’d know whether this is an issue of more accidents happening or accidents getting worse. The linked article doesn’t even take this first step.…

While not legally at fault, or even arguably not morally culpable (if you feel that abiding by speed limits is a moral imperative, it’s arguable anyways), people who disrupt traffic by being extravagantly law abiding in a way that disrupts the natural flow of traffic absolutely are hazards on the road and contributing…

Beyond cell phone misuse, left lane hogs and one dimensional traffic enforcement are key issues.

I can’t work out who has missed the point here the readers or the author? I thought the question was about picking cars who’s DNA we’d like to retain if starting car building from a blank sheet, not about a complete post apocalyptic world?

NO MIATA?!

Well, if it was truly “necessary work”, then the mechanic certainly shouldn’t be saying it’s a state-approved safe car, right? If it’s approved, shouldn’t they have reason to believe it’s safe to drive, and therefore unnecessary work?

Seriously, what is the point of the 4cyl model...
