1st Gear: America’s SUV Obsession Means Luxury Automakers Struggle To Sell Lease-Returns

No, I expect you to die.

Yeah, those race cars and their earth crushing downforce.

Wow. IKEA needs to step up their game.

Of course you’re correct. But the solid “tub” gives it whatever structural stability it has. I would like Red Green to take a crack at it.

The LED polygon nostrils aren’t doing it any favors, either.

The air-conditioning requirement is dumb. Lots of street cars come with no AC

Good luck with that. Might as well have been written by Mickey Mouse, because that ordinance is unenforceable. You can write as many laws as you like; they have to stand up in court.

“But it’s literally just a couple bolts; we’ll be done in like, 10 minutes,”

Small curbs that launch cars into airborne 720-degree barrel rolls.

They screech when braking, starting from a stop, and cornering... even when they’re only going 5 mph.

I like the GTI, but this example is worrying.

I’ve been a member of Jalopnik for years and this is the first time that I realized “Miata is always the answer” makes the acronym MIATA.

Hmm, the patented “Bundy Bounce”.

What, do we not speak his name?

I ride, and you nailed it. Too many self absorbed assholes out there that the world revolves around them. And like it or not most of them are asshole millennials who won’t get off their fucking phones. Gotta have that fucking electronic babysitter going at all times...

We actually had a great day of racing up until then. Swinford just got mad and used his car as a weapon. We’ve never had anything like that happen. It’s just beyond my comprehension. [...]

People in general, including older established riders, are not riding anymore because of the head in the clouds, fingers on the phone cagers who make riding a terrifying, near-death experience.

IMHO Harley shot themselves in the face the second they gave up Buell. If they’d given the Buell division more time and proper assets I’m sure they’d have at a solid foot in the market by now.
