I've been a fan of Land Rover styling for a long time, but this is just bulbous and unattractive. I think the 2012 Range Rover Sport is just about the best looking SUV out there, and it's too bad they changed the design this much. The huge weight reduction is great and all, but they didn't have to sacrifice the…

No Hofmeister Kink, no deal. In this case, it belongs in the frame around the rear dropouts.

That single evening sounds like more fun than I've had in all my 3-and-counting years of grad school, combined. I must be doing it wrong.

Bad Luck Brian.

I've been following electric motorcycles for a couple years now, and for a while I've been thinking that if I ever took the plunge and bought one, it would be the Brammo Empulse. I can't really think of a more ideal daily rider.

I'm a diehard fan of the Logitech K750. Very thin/low-profile, great tactile feeling in the scissor keys, plenty of functionality (media controls, application keys, full numpad, etc.), very responsive, but my absolute favourite feature is the solar+battery power. This is total genius. Pull it out of the box, plug…

Buy them both, swap the 5MT and RWD drivetrain from the convertible into the hardtop. The engine in the hardtop, being connected to an auto tranny, has probably been driven less harshly than the engine in the 5MT convertible and therefore should be kept in place. And move the BBS wheels over too, of course. You…

There are so many things wrong with this article I don't know where to begin. Once again the media takes a scientific news release and puts a wholly inappropriate spin on it, blowing it out of proportion. Way to be alarmist.

Great! More chemicals and antibiotics to go in our mouths and our bodies! Hooray!

I didn't realize until reading this article that Jon Hamm was doing the voiceover for this commercial, but now it all makes sense.

Good write-up! I did this a little over a year ago on my new-to-me 2002 5-series. The lens covers were severely pitted; I have before/after photos on my computer at home that I'll try to post later. I didn't use a commercial kit but bought all the necessary items at the local Kragen or Amazon. The covers were so…

Several things:

Hat-tip to you for doing the math and figuring out what the MPG's would be. And if 36 MPG is close to reality, that's damn impressive considering the performance numbers. I would still want to see this hybrid system implemented in the 328, though, because $50k (base price) is a lot of money for a non-M 3er.

I was initially annoyed by the "black box" factor, i.e. how all the interesting parts were covered up with plywood and cardboard, but then I went to the guy's website and he does show you a little bit about how he built it.

Oh God that CLS is gorgeous... On a related note, is anybody interested in buying a gently used but very healthy 27-year-old kidney?

Hell no. It's embarrassing and a waste of time. And for the record I think it's a stupid idea in cars too - I understand the reasons for it, i.e. keeping both hands on the wheel, but the point is you're still distracted by Googling something or tweeting or sexting or whatever the hell people do when they should be…

Yep. C-mount is very common in video and digital microscopy.

PS: I do not like this new "sign in with your Facebook/Twitter/Google account" stuff. I had a perfectly good Jalopnik account (with a star, I might add, which seems to have disappeared) which worked just fine, the Gawker hacking incident notwithstanding.

I'd use public transportation more if it didn't suck so much in my area (SoCal). The buses are late all the time and sometimes leave stops early (yeah, like 5 minutes early - forcing me to waste 30 minutes waiting for the next bus). The buses need to start running earlier in the morning and keep running until well…
