I appreciate the battle between Mercedes Streeter and David Tracy to find who can take on the most insane money pit of a restoration project. Sure, old Jeeps might have so much rust they’re held together mostly by hopes and dreams, but can they top Germany’s contempt for functional wiring and simple solutions?

Man takes pocketknife to gun fight, is surprised by the results. More news at 11.

Really though, HD doesn’t advertise this as a touring bike and you knew you were going to have an uphill battle yet didn’t even switch on eco mode from the onset? Interesting choice. 

Since when did Jalopnik become a leftist screed?

5th Gear: Yeah don’t get your hopes up, Raph. A large scale project like that would never fly here in the US, as we would burn through that 15 billion 15 year timeline fighting court battles with eco-idiots who were desperate to stop such a line encroaching on 1/10th of the natural habitat of the duck-billed…

The guy who writes about business matters on this site didn’t know what “unicorn” meant until today. A word that has been clearly defined, heavily marketed, and incredibly overused by all manner of journalists, startups, and wannabe entrepreneurs over the past 5+ years, not just in tech but all over the world. Oy…

I don’t really get Raph’s point? I guess I can make the same claim about him: “Raph isn’t in business to help the environment. He is a consumer and worker that reaps the rewards of raping the environment and plundering its materials just so he can enrich and entertain himself. He continues to live a life style that…

Why shame / hate on / criticize those who use vehicles how they want?

Two cars sit at the top of my list of unreasonable lovers.

I used to be like you. I have 2 mini coopers. Then I drove a slightly lifted (leveled) GMC 2500 with 33’s and it is life changing. Big truck fun honk honk. 

I should bookmark this for whenever some motherland fanboi gets all cranky whenever I post modern German cars are unreliable, planned obsolescence disposable kleenex machines. I just can’t understand how people just don’t get it.

See, this is a reasonable use of rental cars for travel.

Ray Fisher’s talking loud and saying little style of delivering his plight doesn’t make him a sympathetic figure either.

Are these details? The statement still has no specifics despite what the article title says. Really its a variation of what he has said before. If anything it reads as if it was filtered through a PR person who wrote a better copy of Fisher’s previous statements on this.

Did you see who wrote this?

“free” government services? Tell us more.....

Free? Lol

Seems like 9/10 of your sentences have a shadow of depression and pessimism.

I totally agree. Erik shit sucks right now, doubling down only makes it suck more. 

My birthday is this Saturday, not at all looking forward to turning 36.

This is absolutely true. There’s no way that auto manufacturers can take Jalopnik, as a automotive website, seriously anymore. The hot takes, personal bias, and political rants of some of the few who have stayed have dragged this website down.  If I was Tesla, I’d tell Jalopnik to go pound sand too.  Heck, Nissan gave…
