I hadn’t heard of that one yet. Our marquee does sell EV now but they’re still relatively new. 

I don’t want to sound like a shill because I’m not but the two we sell (LDS and Ally) are both good companies, easy to work with and don’t typically complicate repair processes. Lot of experience working with Maxcare also and they’re straight forward with good coverages for their better plans. What it boils down to is…

Any time a customer comes in with an unreputable extended warranty, we always play devil’s advocate when they drop off. The low quality warranties typically cover less, make legitimate claims more difficult by requiring excessive inspections/maintenance records/fluid samples/etc drawing out repair times (ie time spent…

His tires would have benefitted from carrying less weight over the race distance meaning they were in better shape for much longer than they would have been otherwise. I’m not trying to take anything away from GR...I think he ran an incredible race. He was racing the car he was given...he just didn’t know he was…

3 seconds over the course of 44 laps is 0.068 seconds per lap...it’s miniscule. Seeing as how GR finished ~1.7 seconds ahead of Piastri, he would have been running in 3rd (presumably).

It’s simple. Merc was either unaware of how close they were to the weight limit or miscalculated how much weight was being lost to the tires on an extended one-stop.

The dichotomy of crashes is that the ones that are visually spectacular are usually better for the driver since a lot of energy is expended by the vehicle. The ones that are the most dangerous are the very abrupt stops or things impacting the driver. In recent times, the wrecks that stick out in my mind (the…

Here’s a notion, don’t operate your vehicle beyond your ability to control or capacity to comprehend your surroundings on the track and don’t operate your vehicle beyond the imposed law on the street. And never race* a vehicle you can not afford the lose.

#1. It’s Japan. They’ve never needed an excuse for obscure, niche contests.
#2. It’s Jalopnik. At least this one has cars and driving. Be thankful.

Cheers to all the armchair quarterbacks who said Max had matured the last few years. No...he just didn’t have any competition and wasn’t being stressed. Now that he’s having to fight for podiums, the Max “if I can’t pass you, I’ll crash you” Verstappen is back..same as he ever was. His radio commentary was my “Cartman…

The Lyriq linked in the article had the Ultium battery changed at just under 11k miles in late 2023 and then had an Image Processing module programming at roughly the mileage it as is listed at now. The battery probably initiated the buy-back if the customer was upset enough over it. GM has improved that process in…

Price isn’t awful for the mileage. It’s a popular color combo (red over black). Appears to be OEM front lip, driver seat is in good condition (save the bolsters!). The missing VIN tag, as stupid as that is in the grand scheme of things, hurts the value. Seller didn’t provide a VIN so there may be an accident that…

Unfortunately, the impeachment put forward will be a hollow act since it doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell at getting any results. Best we can hope for is a democratic presidential win and some additional justices to offset the current conservative majority that the SC has been sucked into.

Why, in sweet baby Jesus’ name, does this short ass “article” have 11 Jalopnik links. It’s 14 lines (columned) and what....150-160 words (?), 33 of which are hyperlinked to the site I’m already on that probably go to articles that have little/nothing to do with the content I’m reading. Annoying as hell.

Diehard F1 fans that have trouble suspending reality for 2 hours are just going to spend money to pick apart every aspect of the movie that’s wrong, overblown, inaccurate or improbable. It’s not a documentary. I’ll go see it in the theatre just to be impressed by the visuals...knowing how much money they sunk into…

Knowing how dealerships are portrayed, Jalop is likely to be insinuating that the dealership placed it there for blackmail purposes and then suicided someone with the cost of their underbody sealer and scotch guard fabric protection service.

A perfect metaphor for my life. It took off when it shouldn’t have and had a brief yet glorious ascent ending predictably in a giant ball of expensive disappointment.
