I think the delay is partly because Jalopnik doesn’t agree to press embargoes so they get the info when we get the info rather than being able to prepare beforehand.

So a Land Rover Discovery??? I thought Ford and Land Rover parted ways?

Granny shifting, not double clutching like he should.

“That’s the saddest quote I think I’ve ever seen.”

and replaced the timing chain prophylactically at 700,000 miles.

The best part of this is that if they do give him a new Frontier, it’ll be the exact same truck

Delivery driver in Chicago? Where’s the rust?

This opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

What’s an adult amateur skateboarder? An adult who skates, but isn’t paid for it? Or an adult who is learning how to skate and isn’t very good? I’m 28(adult) and I’ve been skating since I was 9. I can heelflip into a noseslide(a moderately complex manoever), but I don’t get paid to skateboard. It’s my exercise. Some…

Well, that’s your opinion. (And your opinion is wrong.) what else shouldn’t adult men do? Skydive? Snowboard? Mountain bike? I skate because it’s fun. Remember fun? It’s only midlife crisis-y if you just started. I started in 7th grade, and I haven’t stopped. I won’t stop. I’m not trying to be cool. I like to skate.…

Adult women shouldn’t write op-eds about skateboarding. Let’s try that again with a caveat: Adult women 𝑤ℎ𝑜 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑠𝑘𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑏𝑜𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 shouldn’t write op-eds about skateboarding. Here’s a few reasons why not:

Maria,

Hate- HATE- the huge center touchscreen. In cars you need controls that stay in one place and provide tactile feedback to the driver- I can operate every button and switch in my POS Elantra without taking my eyes off the road. A touchscreen requires you to look at it to find what you want. And that thing is going to…

The timing of this is absolutely hilarious. Right now, all over the world, people are sitting in movie theaters experiencing the beauty and excitement of the Ford GT, one of the most provocative race cars ever built.

Meanwhile, Ford clears its throat while balancing 340 pounds over the toilet and yells from the…

I worked at Domino’s during summer and winter break during college. It was a lot of fun. We’d mess up pizzas (“what, nobody ordered the all meat and extra cheese deep dish? Crew pie!”) and enjoy shooting the shit and debating sports between our deliveries. I also could have written a hell of a sociology paper on my…

(No matter that the article mentions men do this too.)

My next game of Wizard Staff is looking pretty intense then

Added benefit:  You get a battery pack with enough juice to run your microwave and flat-screen for a weekend off the grid.  A hybrid could offer a whole new utility to mild overlanding rigs.  If it doesn’t come with (or offer as an option) a pure sine inverter of at least 1500 watts, it will be a missed opportunity.

Field repair is certainly a concern.  My hope would be that they have a limp mode that would allow you to use the transmission as a basic 4 speed (instead of the 10 speed power split using 4 speed internals) and gas engine only.  That would at least get you to where you are going.

People drove taxis as a job. Stop blaming the poor and start blaming corporations.
