“The Deliverator’s car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator’s car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to

I don’t know, I really don’t want to be a contrarian, but... This one’s not really doing it for me. It still looks very large and ungainly to me. In concept and in execution, I’m sure it’s perfect for the role of grand tourer, but stylistically, I don’t know. It’s not getting my heart racing. Kind of reminds me

Wanting to cool heels after a contentious primary is, ultimately, probably a good thing, even if there are some shady reasons on the part of the DNC for doing so this time around.

Every automobile I have ever wanted is getting stupid-expensive. Old Mustangs were a dime a dozen in the ‘80s and ‘90s, now they’re out of reach. That’s fine, get a ‘71-’73, nobody really liked those! Surely you can — oh, wait, those are getting pricey too, for anything with a V8 and more steel left than rust.

I live and work near (but not in, and it’s important for my health that I mention that) Scottsdale. It’s as bad as that and more.

“This is a very personal project for me. I invested a lot of time and energy in this build, you know, and it’s really just a car for me and me alone, you know?” Skerp Flurbington is well-known in car circles for doing car things with cars, but this unusual car build is his own personal car, a labor of love that took

I don’t know if there’s actually a lot going on worth covering in the industry right at this moment, but are there any plans to expand on the coverage of motorcycles on Jalopnik? Perhaps some test-rides of new models, or coverage of upcoming models, sort of thing? Not that there’s... a lot of things happening in the

Gods above and below, those poor people standing on the sidewalk across the street...

1) Oh, no, not at all. Quite to the contrary, I’m still very happy that it does. I’m more upset that I don’t seem to want one any more.

2) It does, in the sense that it sets the bar for what can be considered a “high-performance vehicle” even higher than it was before.

I’m very happy that it exists, too, I just wish I

There’s a road I like, State Highway 89A, that runs from Phoenix to Prescott in Arizona, before continuing on to Flagstaff. It’s an extremely popular route for motorcyclists because it is a winding, curving road with lots of up- and downhill corners and breathtaking views of both the mountains to the north and the

At 24 years old, if you could have raised a Porsche 962's ride height up by an inch so I could clear speed bumps, I would have sworn up and down that I could make a daily driver of it.

You mean there’s hope for me yet! Bless you, good sir!

It’s funny you say that, because I owned a modern sport bike, found myself never really getting into the power band on public roads, and sold it for a sport-touring bike. It, too, felt like a lot of wasted potential outside of the racetrack environment for which it was clearly bred. If you’re using “all the power” of

That, I cannot argue with. Anyone who thinks we aren’t currently living in the golden age of performance cars just isn’t looking around enough!

Well, yeah, the thing is, Ford doesn’t also offer a version of those that is street-legal. Or didn’t anyway — I think the new GT500 is supposed to top 800 horsepower, so I think my entire argument (such as it is) is moot.

No, that’s the thing, I totally agree with you, I’m just getting to the age where my old keeps barging into the room and saying “BUT WHY?!?!”

I’m torn.

I prefer the slim whale-tail to the later 930-style tea-tray (even if the tea-tray is there to hide the very functional intercooler), but I like the sloping, tail-less back the best. I think it keeps the lines of the car clean, y’know? There’s something about the gentle arc of the 911 roof from windshield to bumper

If I had the money (which I currently don’t), I would overpay for a very, very specific Porsche 911. I know that’s really not a very unique or even probably very good answer, but it’s what I think I’ve finally settled on as my ideal sports car.

Ram 1500 R/T? I have one, and I think it’s pretty close to the modern 454SS. 400 horses, 4.10 rear gears, 2-wheel drive, short-bed, monochrome paint job, only one little “R/T” badge in the front grille to let you know it’s different. I dunno, I think it’s pretty close to what you’re talking about here. I wish they’d
