Being upside-down is especially impressive here since he's TIG welding, where he needs to control the foot pedal. It's always a challenge finding somewhere to put the pedal.

Even if Jalopnik readers aren't really a bunch of basement-dwelling, semi-employed lepers scouring Craigslist for discounted Cavalier timing chains with stolen wifi in the Starbucks parking lot like the TTAC writers think they are, a crazily expensive ultra-sedan like this Bentley is hardly up our alley. At least…

Oh wow. I can see the smoke from my desk on Rotunda.

Just picture it: you're cruising along in Iraq, or Afghanistan, or wherever, searching for a group of crazy machine gun-toting militants cruising around in a '92 Toyota pickup with the tailgate modified to say "YO," when all of a sudden… nothing. Your truck has stopped. It won't move an inch. It's making awful noises.…

I live in Dearborn and love seeing these buggers all over the place.

This race is run at Ransomville Speedway in Upstate, NY every New Year's Day (hence the name), and is a complete shitshow of old rear wheel drive beaters.

I'm able to work on my own cars because I have a girlfriend with a reliable car. With the whole transportation thing out of the way, I can afford the downtime. Since buying my Alfa Romeo Milano 2 years ago, I've driven it maybe 1,500 miles. But, I've spent 100+ hours fixing anything that a) moves or b) touches…

In the past 5 years I haven't paid for anything other than alignments. I've owned my Alfa Milano for two years and have rebuilt the engine once and replaced valves twice. Even when I make mistakes, I learn a ton, and google keeps me from making most mistakes. http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/alfa-v6-rebuil…

The pure carbon road car seen here with the New York plates is in fact unregistered at this point. It's their development mule that will become Jim's personal car. I will also go up the hill at Goodwood this summer, and by the time it reaches US waters in disassembled form, its parts will indeed be used. From that…

I like Nickelback but I think I'm a genuinely cool guy - should I just move to New York to make friends?

Initially, I was a little scared when I saw the barrel in my way, but then I remembered something: I drive an SUV, and according to the ads, I can therefore roll over anything. Snow. Ice. Curbs. Small buildings. Aardvarks. People who write "would of." Libertarians. The late Bob Hope. Vegetable gardens. So I decided to…

Why isn't it best overall? It's tiny and therefore cramped for your friends. MyFordTouch blows chunks (though it may be slightly better than it was in the past). It doesn't make a lot of evocative sounds. It isn't the greatest long distance cruiser.

Let me tell you this Travis: I love the 918 - I love it with an elemental devotion I reserve for my children, my dog, and my testicles - but right at that moment I wanted to burn the fucking thing. One massive napalm strike to vaporize the road, the man on the sidewalk and everything animal mineral or vegetable within…

Engineer code brown:

Weird. Always thought it directed the driver to the nearest sperm bank. Maybe we're both right?

More stuff like this, P.G. Nice read.

It was actually pretty ballsy for Honda to give this new car the same name as the world's first aluminum monocoque, Ayrton Senna-tested, Ferrari-fighting triumph of engineering that came out in 1990.

So true! I assumed intent but good point.

Cynical people might write the 228i Convertible off as a hairdresser's car (who are all these hairdressers driving droptops, and why do we hate them so?) but it's far better than that. If you're willing to pay the admittedly high price of entry, I don't think it's a decision you will regret.

I hope the owner decides just to pour cement around the front of the car and leave it there like a little sculpture.
