I love the way Tesla gets Jalopnik’s panties all twisted.

You....you do realize that the 0-60 time is irrelevant right? Are you going to sit at the stoplight forever, entering “ludicrous mode” (eyeroll) and wait for the battery to “condition” itself while everyone behind you honks just so you can go 0-60 in 2.2s or whatever?

The Tesla Model S is 10 years old and as far as I know, looks just like it did in 2012. If nothing else, the Air should jolt Tesla into some design upgrades and changes.

Slow car != Bad car.
To be fair the C1/107/Aygo triplet isn’t really that bad. They’re built by Daihatsu (who are the absolute champions of micro cars) which is a daughter of Toyota so rest assured that quality is just fine. Luckily for the owners all Peugeot and Citroën could change on that car are the bumpers and…

The Multipla was an incredibly practical car and a great one overall as long as you never looked at it from the outside.

Maserati Biturbos are massively shit, but if you can find a trashed example for towing fee money you should grab it. Maserati engines make for beautiful glass coffee table stands and garage art.

BMW didn’t start that coupe crossover thing, but they sure as hell kept it alive. I think there was even an article about this thing on here at some point, the Acura ZDX from 2013.

I figured LeCars would make the list, but it’s wrong. The Renault 5 is great. The LeCar name is dumb, but it was chosen by dumb Americans for dumb Americans. Dealer support was nonexistent and nobody knew how to service them here, but that’s not the fault of the car. And sure they were only 55 hp, but they only…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I would rock a Cygnet.  I would be the absolute worst.  Aston-Martin apparel, keychain; basically any branded accessories I could get my hands on.  And I would valet park that fucker at every opportunity, just so that when I leave, I could hand my ticket to the valet and say,…

Sounds to me like the kind of thing a new company/startup goes through as they try to ramp up production and work through issues.

A half dozen Ukrainian tractors would have ship hidden in a barn by now.

Can’t we just find this guy and fast track a green card for him?

You could get hit by a toilet seat from outer space too.

Well, at least the front didnt fall off.......

Cars and the culture around them aren’t always the most welcoming things, but one of my missions in life is to encourage those who are interested to explore cars, boats, planes or really anything with an engine/motor.

I’m not going to lie, your story made me tear up. Not even included in this story was when I came out, which had me literally living two lives simultaneously. I presented as a woman at work, but was forced to take everything off and wipe off my makeup before I came through that door. In one instance, a curious police…

Thanks for sharing Mercedes. Like in your household, being a gay man was considered one of the worst things one could become. Naturally that didn’t make coming out an easy or pleasant thing for me. During that time I lived at home after coming out (and lying through my teeth to escape conversion therapy) and before…

Thanks for sharing.  Well written and brings back memories and feelings (and memories of feelings!) of my own. Such a pleasant read into the weekend.

Agreed. I can understand leaving a few of the seats in but there was so much potential here. Is it really a camper if you have to sleep in a seat that barely reclines?

i’m sorry but this whole thing is stupid. it could be cool, and for maybe $15K I could see buying it, gutting the whole damn thing aft of the cockpit, and making it actually cool. but they should have taken the high bid, because it’s about twice what anyone should actually pay for a half-assed “project” that had…
