The GM story is incomplete.  They ran overtime prior to the strike to stockpile inventory. 

Hey failing Jalopnik, nobody even uses steel anymore! Everything is alloys and self-driving. And gig economy. I didn’t read clean coal even ONCE in this article. Sad!

The strike has cost GM output of more than 8,000 vehicles a day, according to analysts at IHS Markit. With each vehicle averaging about $8,000 in earnings before interest and taxes, and the walkout affecting nearly nine production days, GM has missed out on as much as $544 million in profit, based on calculations…

Well don’t think for a moment that Trump wouldn’t sell Donnie Jr. out to save his own ass.

Don’t shame “snitching”. Exposing criminals is in the interest of society as a whole, and we want more people to come forward, not less. Yes, we’re talking about a garbage person, but the information he provides is valuable. And there is nothing valuable, or even moral, in remaining loyal to a criminal gang. So, don't…

I have an 03' Mach1 with a similar engine to the 99' Cobra (99' Cobra block, rotating assembly, with 03-04' Cobra heads). I whole-heartedly agree (and am admittedly biased as an EB tuner) as the experience of the S550 2.3L is refined, composed, and capable. It feels like a BMW 428i M-Sport, though a bit faster. I…

The people in witness protection sure are hoping so... Could you imagine trying to find placement for someone like Tekashi? Where in the would would he be inconspicuous?!?

I must have subconsciously blocked that out. Damn you for pointing out that hideousness.

Elon: “pedo bike.”

The only bad side is the lack of sound. I consider noise to be a safety feature on motorcycles. When I’m looking at any aftermarket exhaust, I want the loudest one, period.

At one point, I found myself in traffic behind a chrome-drenched Harley, its exhaust whabwhabwhabing away.

I’m a bicyclist first and a motorcyclist second so I love quiet machines. But I do own a beautiful, loud Ducati. If I could even-up trade it for this, I would in a second. (The next seconds would be for pulling off the Zero’s rear fender/tag holder and smashing it to pieces with a hammer.)

Leaks are just strategic pressure reliefs. Fix all your leaks and things could explode.

A post about a weird Corvair variant that I didn't know about? All while mentioning a even weirder 1950s toy car thing that only my dad would know about?
