Yeah, if Jason Todd is dead and Batman has been around for a while, I think it’s safe to assume this movie takes place post Joker assault.

Fiat Chrysler as a whole only has 5 years left. Their position in the market makes no sense; Jeep and Ram make money while everything else is a loser. Alfa can’t develope a safe midsize sedan, people don’t want Fiat 500XLZTs, Dodge doesn’t have cars that can compete with the major players in their segments, and…

I actually miss the DC Metro for the solitude you used to be able to have on some lines that were so far under the streets. Now riding the Red or Green line all the time, it’s tons of people having loud phone conversations or eating/drinking. I even saw a drunk passed out with a case of Natty Light and box of fried…

And it kind of fits the real world since the only people buying Renegades are fleets looking for a sweet deal...

More important to check for than recalls even. Scion/Toyota never issued a recall for my FR-S, but I got both tail lamps, both window regulators and switches, and a fuel pump replaced under TSBs. Having that paperwork checked off on my VIN report through Carmax actually added value to my vehicle when I had it…

According to every Mercedes estimating database I’ve ever seen, tubular bars attached to the vehicles frame or front crossmember are called “nerf guards” while non factory attachments are generally called brush guards. That's straight from the OEMs.

From what my dad and his racing buddies tell me about the old days, Petty was racing more than once a weekend racking up those wins. With only 36 races a year, it’s virtually impossible to break 100 wins in a career. Gordon ran like 22 seasons and dominated a number of them, but I’m not so sure Johnson can even reach…

I'm 26, I feel like Buzzfeed and half of Jezebel articles are written in a foreign language. I'm only 3 years removed from college and I feel like I'm 60...

I don’t necessarily agree with that. I think more likely Snyder got to have the movie mirror some of the tones in Watchmen. Making Batman closer to Rorschach while dealing with street thugs, adding some close ups with blood and you easily get an R rating from MPAA.

Cars are not the problem, selfish people who live in their tiny bubble of a world are the problem. I live in Chicago and walk or take public transit on my free time, but my job requires me to drive in the Loop and northern parts of the city. I cant tell you how many pedestrians I see almost get hit because they think…

I had one from my insurance company for about 2 years since I was on my parents policy still and we got a pretty substantial discount for it. From my understanding, working in the industry no one has been raising rates based off data yet, but the companies could be sharing data to set future rates based off all the…

My fiancé is in school for O&P now, I hate when she finds these articles since they send her 5 minute venting period. That said, I personally am more interested in upper limb prosthesis rather than sea legs and X3s, so I'm sure these articles get more pageviews from casual readers.

I work in insurance, the people at the top do care about occupant safety, insomuch as it pertains to bodily injury claims. There’s a reason the more airbags you have the higher your discount. Once a wreck costs too much, you total it out to cut losses, you can’t really do that for medical bills when people are getting…

I've wondered this too. I get that some people with more technical prowess than I can find he Easter eggs or extend free software based on dates, but really, why should the average consumer be able to change the time/date. When I change time zones, within minutes my iPhone has updated to reflect that. If the phone can…

Elliot is how I found Gawker in the first place. I went to college in DC and somehow never started to follow the show on Twitter until I moved to Va Beach. I’d get bored at my job and search Gawker, Jalopnik, etc, and now I’m hooked... Worst part about living in Chicago is no Elliot syndication and no unlimited data…

I hope they put better brakes on these things over the SRX. My mom has a 2010 that's FWD and anytime I drive it I need to take a few stoplights to acclimate to Cobalt level brakes they put on the 4000+ lb CUV. This one definitely looks better, hopefully lighter weight means better handling and acceleration.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if within 10 years Mazda makes more money developing platforms to sell to other manufacturers than their own vehicles. It seems like if you want a good chassis or need advice in tweaking your own, you go to Mazda.

If I remember correctly the new Titan started life as a joint development with Ram for the 2018 half ton series. Moreso than anything, Fiat needs to partner with someone, Nissan may be a good suitor due to this. They both sell the majority of their vehicles to subprime buyers, so it could definitely be a big player in…

Nissan and Mitsubishi both have ties to Fiat Chrysler, Suzuki also used to sell rebadged Frontiers, so that’s a group of three there.

I still listen to Brand New and Thrice on a daily basis. The Bravery takes me back though, Senses Fail too. Oh to be a teenager again in the mid 00's...
