My wife then proceeds to claw the shit out of the door around the film-protected area. It looks like a dog was trying to bury a bone under the door handle. She doesn’t even have long fingernails. How? How?

I’m calling bullshit. There’s no way that a Nissan dealership had enough customers to rack up $500,000 worth of fines. 

At lest we had plenty of coverage on a trucker convoy that nobody gave a shit about.

Every vehicle on sale should be tailored to me: a young, broke, urban, liberal

Jalopnik: We hate people with money, cars, trucks and EVs But we love brown stickshift wagons, reposting 7 year old posts and slideshows.

swerve, beep, and hit the barrier if it cannot find a bicycle.

Per the seller, the previous owner stopped working on the car when “a friend and British car mechanic that was helping him with the electrical and carb set up passed away unexpectedly.”

It’s still in beta, but don’t worry: Every Tesla that survives the beta will get an OTA update to the final version when (if) it releases. ;-)

Well, that Tesla got one heck of an over-the-air update.

AutoFlight works fine, AutoLand seems to need some further development unless destroying the undercarriage is considered normal wear-and-tear when using it.

But only one brand Stans will consider that a feature and defend it to the watery death.

Elon,  Take the wheel!

Is Jalopnik no longer a car website? Is this why David and Torch left?

No dice, this one is cheaper.

Would you have accepted something snarkier like Earth’s gravity maintains its perfect record?  

I don’t believe it was the pandemic. At least not directly. I firmly believe it’s the internet, and the echo chamber nature of social media that’s chiefly responsible - and the pandemic has made it worse by (a) keeping us inside, and online more often, and (b) becoming politicized - first by Trump, but also by people

Instead of going to a doctor, do you go to medical school? Instead of going to the grocery store, do you farm the land? I come here to learn new things about all things car related. I leave it to the professionals, and the “professionals” that are left seem to not care anything about cars and just want to talk about

So I guess with David and Torch leaving, we’re just going to completely give up on stories focusing on vehicles other than “well a bus is kinda involved” then goes full on a political rant. Mercedes, you may want to leave while you can because this isn’t a car site anymore. 

How much for that GTI?

Whatever you do, do NOT skimp on Nitrogen tire inflation. It could save your life! Even though our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen, it’s worth the $200 to have 100% nitrogen in your tires, because otherwise that small amount of oxygen in your tires could cause a deadly explosion. Have you ever seen the Hindenburg?
