Yep. That’s Agent Orange in a nutshell.

I'm done guessing with Trump. It boggles my mind that his believers (I no longer call them his voters) think he is this mastermind strategist. It's clear he has no clue what these topics are about, he's driven by emotion and doesn't have the attention span to think through the possible outcomes of what he does. He…
This is Jalopnik at its best. Thank you.
I disagree with you.
I would have agreed with you when I was younger, but now that I’ve become a car collector, I understand the value in it.
You see cars are meant to be driven... and most car collectors also have cars they DRIVE. But once you have your cars to drive and enjoy, there’s something about taking snapshots…
NO! It was not built by me, nor was it built by one of my employees. It was a copy of an E34 M5 V12/6spd that we did and was performed by a local (to us) unlicensed junk yard. It was done with a used E32 750iL engine, but I believe the 6spd gearbox was a new part. Don’t quote me on that though, it was a long time ago…
To the person with the elderly mother if the highlander is in good shape DONT MAKE HER SWITCH CARS! Just pay whatever it costs to keep it on the road! She wont be driving much longer. (probably?) and all of the bew tech in newer cars is much more likely to leave her distracted/ cause an accident. Familerization is…
This is why I wear Jalopnik T shirts and visit at least once a day. There’s no comparison between this and “long term updates” on the new Chrysler Pacifica or instrumented testing of the 2019 Hyundai Sonata. There’s automotive journalism, and then there’s Jalopnik.
Wow, you really nailed it. Quite the astute observation... I can’t even tell which is which:
The actual issue is so simple but everyone ignores it. German car companies are run by and directed by engineers and US companies are run by accountants. Engineers won’t always make the right decision but generally they won’t cheap out and wreck the product. GM has been run by accountants for so long the only choice…
The problem with the inside of Cadillacs is that they look great in the photos, and then you sit in one. I really want to like the Cadillac line-up. I think their exterior design is striking. But every time I sit in one, all I can think is that I really want out of there... Like, quickly! Upon close inspection,…
Stability Control is magic and does things the best drivers are physically incapable of. Nobody has forgotten how to drive. There are situations in which the best drivers physically cannot react fast enough or with the appropriate amount of precision.
Neutral: The only driver assistance I want in a car is ABS. I don’t need traction or stability control to assist me how to drive. It amazes how people forgotten about driving a car without traction control or the other million driver ads able. Cars would be so much cheaper without these unnecessary nannies.
And then after you have a child you figure it’s not that big of a deal anyone can do it, and it is very over rated!
Only if you don’t have a child. After you have one you realize it’s still a chunk of metal and it really doesn’t matter.
I’m just gonna come out and say it. I fucking love the 996. And I love the fried egg headlights (as long as you get rid of the amber shit). Fuck the haters.
What do I think? I think it’s a Tax Scam, and should be called that. The rich are sitting on massive trillions in cash already. Literally drowning in it and trying to figure out where best to hoard/multiply it. They didn’t need this tax cut. Meanwhile, our schools need teachers and our roads are crumbling. This will…
David, I sometimes question your judgement and I definitely question some of your slap-dashery when it comes to “fixes”, but I must say- you are the finest writer currently on Jalopnik, and your true passion for beaters is noteable. Enviable, even.
Not true. Sometimes I’m shitting.
Former car salescritter here, eventually became an F&I guy, sales manager, and GSM. What follows should be considered well-informed opinion...
This study makes little sense. More expensive synthetic oils are supposed to excel at long intervals of time and mileage, and possibly higher heat conditions. With a 3,000 mile oil change in my grandmother’s car I wouldn’t expect too much of a difference. Tell me about 10,000 miles, 6 months, and high engine…
