It’s pretty easy to predict how humans would react to aliens. Some will worship them, others will want to kill them, and of course there will be a group who will want to have sex with them.

Not sure why I’m bothering to explain this but that’s because Harley Davidson, being a mainstream OEM manufacturer selling road-legal bikes in the US and around the world has to put items on their bike to make them follow things called regulations. Like fenders, emissions, turn signals, reflectors and waterproofing.

So, who ever is currently in charge of Chevrolet’s design team (I suspect Michael bay) needs to be fired and has no business doing this.

Weight transfer... as if 99.9% of drivers would have any capability of managing weight transfer. Anyway, all of this is countered by one simple thing. Nobody is going to have their left foot constantly hovering over the brake pedal but not touching it. Even a gentle touch of the brake pedal on most cars activates the…

My issue is that the only time I ever notice a left-foot braker is because they have their brake lights on while accelerating away from a light. This has soured me to the idea of left-foot braking on the street, as my only encounters with it are from idiots who can’t take their foot off of the brake. In these…

Land Rover Discovery. It was actually possible to use a lock picker to get into the car. However, once inside, the thieves weren’t able to start the car

You want health care, housing and an education? Get a Job. I didn’t go to college, have a nice house and a nice car and some toy cars to hobby on. If I can do it then so should everyone else. My 18 yr old daughter is off to college on mostly her dime. No she’s not going for an art’s major. She’s going for something…

Land of the free. So long as you confrom and are neat and orderly like the rest of the sheep in the herd. If you stray outside of the norms, Vee have vays of dealing visth you

Doors off, windows off, roof on is the best configuration IMO:

To many of us, “old school” car guys, the figures are interchangable. It’s like being bilingual (or bipolar) 5.7 just auto-translates to 350 in my mind.

Yup.  First thing that came to mind here was Bob in his Alero drifting into the “max speed lane” doing 57mph, not realizing how quickly the Lambo in the distance was gaining on him.  That’d be one ugly crash. 

If this happens, they’ll need to introduce a massive re-education campaign. American drivers don’t have the same discipline (and courtesy) that German drivers do.

If that is ticketable, then what do you call putting lift kits, oversized tires, wider wheels, louder exhausts, etc etc etc. Call me crazy but I dont want to live in a nanny state. Its just a tow ball. Watch where your going.

Harley makes V-twins. Harley haters: “Old Tech from Harley! Hate it! Screw Harley.”

People get so weird about who they think will buy something and how they think that hypothetical person will use it that aren’t able to actually appreciate something that’s really genuinely cool (although very long lol).

I would guess most rubicons end up with 35's and a 2-3 inch lift anyway. But, valid point about the breakover.

I’m just gonna say it: All the snark about these things being mall crawlers is tired.

Yeah, it’s all about keeping brown people out. That’s why the Chicken Tikki Masala is the national dish.

Yeah, I generally enjoy Jalopnik and Raphael’s writing, but this tired-ass trope about the Brexit being all about racism is getting really fucking old. It’s lazy, sensationalist, and demeaning all in one neat bundle. I come to Jalopnik to read about cars, not to hear a tired straw man argument about international…

...the thing where old scared racist people in the UK want to keep brown people out of their country and think that ditching the shitshow that is the EU is going to help them with that.
