Don’t bother them with facts. This is the “new” Jalopnik; Just trying to keep the lights on, by getting some car people (we can’t seem to look away from this train wreck), pissed off for “engagement” and clicks.  I guess it’s working...

Any modern actual key would have a similar failure mode if the chip in the key stopped talking to the car, even those that you have to twist.

You’re right. Fuck ‘em. What a practical solution.  City dwellers don’t need trivial shit like food and medical supplies that the trucks deliver.  At least it won’t be noisy.

Nitrogen doesn’t hold as much moisture as air. If you are in an aircraft above 25,000 ft. or so, this is a good thing, as water vaopr can’t condense and freeze, inside your tire. In a car, it doesn’t make two f**cks difference.

Then if nitrogen is good, then hydrogen must be better (like the Hindenberg). I want some of that. I hear shit is the bomb!

6 speed Scat Pack Challengers are not that hard to find. I Just sold a 2015 with 75k miles. It was large, comfortable, a blast to drive, and absolutely bullet proof, over the 3 .5 years and 40k miles I put on it.  Nothing but oil changes, a set of tires, and a battery.  It was cared for and not abused, but I certainly…

I consider myself a car guy. even though I finally sold my beloved Challenger Scat Pack yesterday, and have moved into a Tesla Model 3. The decision was based primarily on economics, and a horrible commute. I am certainly not a Tesla Stan. I agree, the damn thing is never going to drive itself (nor do I won’t it too,…

The plane is actually a Hawker 400, which used to be the Mitsubishi Diamond Jet. It’s a Japanese desgin.

Yeee Haaa!

I think we should make them wear logoed fire suits, like NASCAR drivers, so we know who their “sponsors” are.

All of these, I would consider to be “somewhat” reliable, depending on the yearly vape and energy drink consumption of the previous owner(s).

Looks to me almost, like the chase was already in progress, and the kid was attempting to “hide” behind the gas pump.  He sees officer Friendly again, and nails the throttle.  I’m not making excuses for the cop or the kid.  It’s just a crappy situation, but there may be more to the story than meets the eye.

I always say, it’s your car, make it what you want. If it is not your, “forever car”, and you have a low mileage NA, that has remained stock, they are getting pretty hard to find. Values were trending up, even before all of this used car “chip-accolips” stuff. If you ever do need/want to sell it, altering the…

It would be interesting to know more about Nordhoff’s background.  This photo should be from almost 30 years after the war, but the guys in the front seeat still look like they are in dress uniforms from the Nazi SS...

Older ones did not, just lap belts.

You are correct.

Both. Driving through rivers, and then letting it sit, has quickly given a bit more than “patina”. It sounds like Mercedes had a blast beating the crap out of that thing, though. She may still be ahead on the fun to $ ratio, and still has other stuff to drive, so I am not judging.

If I contribute, can you promise NOT to make it a slideshow? :)

Yep. Two generations of them, I think. Say this in your head, in Darth Vader’s voice....”David, I’m your Father. Give in to the dark side.”

In that scenario, double the posted speed limit works too, right?
