Maybe he was just there to try and return it for store credit.

Just peacefully walking around, exercising his God-given right to Open Carry.

Come again? A Texas dealership where all the workers didn’t pull out their Colt revolvers and pump him full of lead? Say whut?

If you are a hedgehog, don’t try and be a bird. Know the hedgehog, be the hedgehog. Be the best damned hedgehog.

I’ve never understood the CH-R. It had the body that the Corolla cross should have had and not the platform. who wants a FWD pseudo crossover/hatch thingy with terrible visibility?

because people want something different for their money? I get that the C8 Z06 is fastest, cheapest, and drives the best, but the romance of a British, “built-in-a-shed” supercar is strong and with TVR, Marcos, and countless others gone, Noble seems the best bet (Morgan doesn’t count, they make carriages). oh, and I…

“I can appreciate that the ad mentions that the car gets decent fuel economy while weighing a lot, but to advertise the weight as an advantage — especially in a freaking fuel economy-focused ad — is utterly absurd.”

I had a short run at an ad agency. The classic Lucky Strike campaign was required learning. Basically, an ad agency guy asked a Lucky Strike exec how the cigarettes were made. He listed the ingredients and described the tobacco as being “toasted” during the process. The ad exec latched onto the word “toasted” and…

Sewing machines. The frequency you run across “Singer sewing machine runs great” with a picture of a closed machine cabinet makes you think it’s a self perpetuating joke.

An “Australian” clock.   I actually have a similar one, since I’m an expat Aussie.

Few things can top the ads for Boats in which the subject is fully under a cover

Damn Torch.....you had a productive holiday break didn’t you?  What did we do to deserve so much Torch awesomeness to start the year?!

People should not use any type of lifts without jackstands.  When I worked in the shops we had tall screw jacks we would put under the vehicle front to back to keep it from rocking and/or falling if a large part of the vehicle was removed, throwing off the weight balance.

These fall in a strange place for me. I would only be interested in the higher capacity lifts, just because I would rather lift even a 3000 lb car with something rated 6000 lbs than something rated 3500. So $2000.

Honestly that is kinda turning me off. The price is high enough to have a comprehensive warranty, plus you were understanding enough to suggest a rebuild from the get go. Not being able to rebuild is pure BS and they’re trying to squeeze you.

Counterpoint from the sentence before: “But once you set it up you have something that gives you some of the benefits of a floor jack, a lift and jack stands all in one.”

Counterpoint: an old chassis means that there will be a lot of parts availability and easy swaps between years.

Police cars. According to many on jalopnik anytime a police car is in public it results in death and destruction. They shouldn’t ever turn on the lights because it causes criminals to then run and kill people. And they shouldn’t ever enforce any laws. So police cars really just shouldn’t exist.

I love the way there’s a line for Navistar with 0 vehicles, but lots of other brands have to use the ‘Other’ line despite there being more of them.
