Here's a thought. Let's put a super high tax on semi trucks and a tax break on freight trains, encouraging the use of the already extensive freight train system in the US, making semis only economically viable for local station to site transport. Freight trains are cheaper, much more efficient, and most of all, they…

I thought it was only in America that BMW drivers had that stereotypical attitude. That's hilarious that it's worse in Germany.

The gas powered Cruze Eco gets 42 MPG, albeit with a manual. This will be a hard sell for Chevy when diesel is more expensive. Yes it has more power and the auto gets 42MG, but it's also $5000 more expensive than the Eco auto. You'd NEVER make up the difference.

It's technically a little over 10 years now, but my friend just picked up a 740i for $4500 with 110,000 miles. This thing is super well built, not a single rattle, widescreen nav, every option a modern luxury car would have, plus it has a perfect balance of ride and handling. It drives like a new car, but was dirt…

I'd like to nominate the Tahoe Limited. It was a 2WD Tahoe with the Z60 police suspension setup, lowered 2", Bilstein shocks, 3.73 rear end gearing, limited slip diff, body kit and 120+ MPH top speed. Chevy didn't want to call it an SS for insurance reasons, but it was definitely sporty for a full-size, BOF 90's SUV.

During my senior year of high school, I got to job shadow Chip Ganassi Racing, and I was able to see this exact car in development. I didn't buy my first BMW until a few weeks later, and therefore wasn't obsessed with them at that point. But either way, it was a absurdly cool job shadow, compared to most of my…

Yaris or Mazda 2. Looks too small to be a PT Cruiser of Golf. Has amber turn signals and a forward mounted high stop light

Lincoln keeps trying to incorporate these retro cues in their modern designs with one piece tail lights, winged grilles, widespaced LINCOLN and bustle butts. The problem is these almost all came from the worst design periods in Lincoln's history. Cadillac had the retro cues right with the vertical taillights that were…

I think Giz is just having a hard time letting it go that iOS has gotten stale while Android has continually improved leaps and bounds over the years. Yes, I agree with every point here, except that the SOLE reason for popularity is the affordability. It was at first, but not anymore. I'll try to put this humbly: my…

There is no need for another mobile OS that will just ultimately fail. I just feel bad for developers who need to create 4, soon to be 6 (with Ubuntu) versions of the same basic app. What this really means is that Firefox and Ubuntu phones will have no apps. Developers won't give them any support, because there isn't…

I always say something like "I saw a beautiful E30/E46 today". If they know the most popular of BMW chassis codes, they'll respond with something about M3s or BMWs. Then I know they're gearheads.

This Chicago craigslist BMW is parked next to the police car used in the Blues Brothers. Not to mention it's a very rare 325iX with a manual.

The first Miata ever was actually the last E30 M3, evolving in a phoenix-like implosion of glory and dynamics. This powerful trans-continental reaction also felled the Berlin wall and ended the Cold War.

In all fairness, not a lot of people even consider phones that aren't subsidized on contract or displayed in their carrier's stores.

This guy does it better.

I was going to suggest the same thing. Had I not read about these on Jalopnik months ago, I wouldn't gotten a few tickets because I would never had guessed.

That almost EXACTLY illustrates my point. My friend said "find the drake apartments in Indianapolis" and it returned a listing of things named Drake in Indianapolis, most of the listings being for a Drake concert in Indy. Whether or not Siri fully understood the speech I can't say, as I was driving.

That reminds me of this video of reckless driving, in traffic, in Europe, in an M5.

Interior also reminds me a lot of the R8. And god, a 7-speed manual! The General really nailed this one. If the ATS is anything to go by, GM engineers really know how to tune handling these days. I'm anxious to see what the Z06 or comparable variant has in store.

So you fucked up and put that ugly ass grille on the MKZ a few years back. No big deal, we all make mistakes. But Lincoln didn't want to admit it. Lincoln didn't want to admit there was a problem. So instead of just letting it be a one time thing, or a casual indulgence on the side, he just kept doing it. It took over…
