And here's a very Jalopnik thing regarding those: When converting your Merkur XR4Ti to use a Taurus SHO DOHC V6, you need the bellhousing out of one. Everything bolts right up.

My parents had one when my sister was a toddler.

A motorhome.

That was my call also. Thank the tiny baby Jesus for Mazda. I had a 1996 626 with every option except I got the stick. Took a month to get it in.

This car uses a Mazda3 platform and drivetrain, so not surprising at all!

I don't like IPA's- can I have an amber ale instead?

My car, an X-type, so unusual Carmax had it listed with an Auto when I bought it.

Plus after a multi car pile up you need something stronger

I know I nailed two of them, but I don't see how this was not one of those two:

Charles and Grace Silvas, who sued GM this month in a proposed class action for as much as $10 billion for the lost value of 1.6 million cars it recalled, filed the request two days ago with U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos in Corpus Christi. Courts can issue such orders if they are needed to prevent people…

All I kept thinking was 'man! this girl's voice is annoying!'

Obligatory

Dammit AP. It wasn't speed that caused the accident. Speed, along with the crash, was the result of poor, but likely not malicious, judgement.

90 in a 35.... take it to the track people..... its not worth dying to show off

This isn't just a mistake or even a few mistakes. It's DECADES in the making and going out of their way to be in the shape they got themselves into. And even worse, they don't seem to have learned anything form it all. Except that it's OK to fuck up and destroy a company because golden parachutes and bailouts are…

In GM's defense, if this wasn't as nefarious as it sounds, proving there is no conspiracy is extremely hard because you have to prove the absence of secret collusion.

the others almost have to follow - you can't keep up in the the MPG race when you are 700lbs heavier.

As a design engineer in the auto industry, making changes to a part without changing the part number is INCREDIBLY common. The part number should only change if there is a major change to how the part looks. For something like increasing the spring rate of the retention spring, I see no reason to change the part…

2nd gear: Maybe the F-150 is a game changer in more than one way. If one of the highest volume vehicles on the road goes to aluminum construction (barring the frame) is it paving the way for other cars and trucks to follow? Ford may be doing the heavy lifting to prepare the market and supporting industries to accept…

Was GM sloppy or cunning? Anyone with experience engineering cars think GM pulled a fast one?
