“We used Pedo as an abbreviation for pedestrian back in South Africa.” - Elon after being sued for libel by the robot.

But guys, we are just months away from full self driving!  

“That Pedo-bot had it coming.”-Elon Musk

I don’t even like Uber or self-driving cars, but that take is fucking lunacy.

Wow. For the first time ever, I might star one of the anti-liberal comments.

Bolt driver here - and got it mainly because of the crazy deal I got on it. On the looks, sometimes I catch a glance at it and think damn they alllmost had it. The shape itself is quite attractive, and there are some nice swooping lines. Personally I hate the plastic piece at the top of the C pillar the most, the…

I thought exactly the same. Them my wife got one. I ended up getting one for myself the very next weekend. I still think it is dorky, but it was dirt cheap and it is a good, no, let me correct that. It is a perfect commuter car.

The Bolt is a genius car and I really like the concept, form-factor, and general thoughtfulness of its engineering. Unfortunately, I really dislike its looks. I hoped it would grow on me like the new Volt did, but that tacky little pinched headlight-to-greenhouse badge, the huge, dopey Chevy grille, and the really…

Of course it’s keeping the stick. It’s going to be the same car, with a few new ‘custom’, redesigned touches - new lights, wheels, and maybe a slightly revised roofline. It’ll also come with a slight uptick in horsepower. And one or two ‘limited run’ paint and interior design schemes to celebrate, say, the 55th…

For example? What manual SUV with real 4wd from 04 can be had for $3500? I use the same criteria you do. “Can I buy a newer one for the same price”. I’m just drawing a blank on what 04 you could get instead of this. Subarus aren’t as off roady. Honda doesn’t have anything that could match this for example.

Seriously, why?! WHY? You can get a decade-newer, much much better SUV for this money. As “reliable” as it’s supposed to be, it’s also a 1994, when “reliable” had a different meaning. I once looked at one of these being offered for $1500, and that was ten years ago — and it still wasn’t worth it.

I was getting lunch at a deli in the before times (the long long ago, pre COVID) and there were two old guys having a whine at eachother about how society’s gone wrong, how everyone these days is so rude, and how expensive everything is nowadays.

Having seen far too many just rust away to nothing here in the damp jungles of East Tennessee, seeing one that appears to still have all its body panels in one piece is kind of refreshing.

In high school, these little Suzukis had a reputation for being top heavy. We had a neighbor that got one when she turned 16, and my sister and I made a joke about whether we thought she would roll it. A few months later, passing her house, we see a white Sidekick with a caved in roof. Called it! (She was not hurt in…

Have a buddy who has racked up several hundred thousand miles in one of these, with few/little problems. This one runs, can be DD’d, doesn’t look too bad and is (relatively) cheap.

“American car journalist discomfited by sexual trace evidence disclosing strange erotic sessions with Chinese vehicle; color-discriminant restraining fabric strips were employed in unspecified manner”

Now THIS is the kind of automotive nerdery that I come to Jalopnik for.

This! every single article!! The sheer concern for Torch by Booker is astounding!

Can’t wait to see how this translates in the Chinese press.
