I’ll flip the script and tell you about two of my favorite DMV Experiences because a) they’re so outlandish and b) they both took place at the Oakland Colosseum DMV. For context, I ran a motorcycle shop in East Oakland for a number of years in the 00's and we would occasionally need to go in to expedite or resolve…

This is the most thought provoking comment (to me anyways), on Jalopnik, in years.

I was one of the morons that put a deposit on one of these pieces of garbage. I took the refund when it became apparent that Muskrat wouldn’t hold the initially promised price, and the quality was going to shit. Then he went all nazi.

No matter what it looked like at the intro, the performance per dollar was amazing…

^^ THIS!!!

Most people just want an appliance now. Which...fine, I get it. I like the 86. I just wish it had a touch more hp. I don’t need 400, but 300 would be amazing!

And that E28 made you feel something at 70mph. Changing gears, feeling the tires wiggle in corners. I’d take that over a new M5 for everything other than commuting.

Does anyone have a good way to estimate the cost of building a go-kart track?

Having lived in Brooklyn on the G line (it does exist), and out in Flushing, I think I can answer your query. The NYC subway runs 24/7, but in the late hours at end stations, it’s very common to find an empty train waiting. It’s great in the winter when the stations are cold, as you have a semi-warm place to go, or at…

This is the right word.

Yeah, this isn’t complete information. Like you said it’s the rapid change, not the lack of pressure. It’s like going scuba diving, if you go down and equalize it’s not a problem, but going down too fast may cause problems. Something doesn’t add up here. I suspect that they climbed, got above 10k feet, discovered they…

My father purchased an ‘05 Subaru STi when it came out in late ‘04. In 2008 he sold it to me and purchased a E90 M3. I still have the STi (though it needs a head repaired - shocker), and he still has the M3. This list is a good list.

I suspect the new owner will need to be really careful with tire pressure. 

The Russians tried this back in the 90s:

This is my biggest concern with Polestar right now (more the Betamax than the plug issue). It’s such a great EV, yet without enough adoption, it’ll disappear and we’ll be left with a lower quality ubiquitous offering (I’m looking at the basically never refreshed garbage from Tesla).

He fired most of the team responsible for the supercharger network. Tesla took US subsidies in exchange for opening up the network, and clearly hasn’t done so at any real scale.

Nationalize this shit. Take the network away from the petulant child.

Ford, through SVT, offered a kit to convert a Focus to a V8 rwd setup. If I remember correctly it was about $10k back in the day, and didn’t include the engine/transmission, but did include the rear end and all other parts necessary for the conversion. There were a few of these done up. Fast as hell, but early 2000s…

Can we please get weekly updates on the status of this truck? I think we need to start a pool on when it becomes nothing more than a paperweight.

He’s a snake oil salesman, and nothing more.

You win the internets.

Having looked through the listing, I have...concerns.

Why are there no photos of the bedrooms? Why is the stripper pole basically in the kitchen?

This is not a place to go with a blacklight.

Eww. I don’t like it.

There are people in Hollywood whose jobs are specifically to come up with new or unique sounds to bring an auditory sensation to a visual or physical action. Please for the love of god hire a great Foley person. Give them a brief describing the electrification of a muscle car, and let them come…
