Does this mean I have to upgrade my 4s? I’m not opposed to it, just a cost issue. And I still miss my 2nd gen iPod, it was a tank that did just what I wanted it to do, play music. Then Apple took it away and replaced it with an iPod Touch, which sucked ass, and broke 6 - 9 months later.

You have no idea how many equity loan appraisals I used to do in the early 00's before the shit hit the fan in ‘07 - ‘08. Typically they were exterior only, with no interior walk-through at all. These types of appraisals are pretty much non existant now, as the amount of equity people have in their homes has…

Fair point, but the more important question, regarding Volvo’s ownership, is where are parts sourced from (local or China), and who & where was the majority of engineering developed? I don’t believe any of these cars are actually built in China, at least none that are for Euro/USA consumption.

Will autonomous cars be able to take voice commands? I see self driving cars on the highway, or navigating a pre-determined course, but what I would be interested in is the ability of telling the car where to go in real time. I spend a good deal of my time in my car, navigating either city streets or rural roadways.…

I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udun. Go back to the shadow! You cannot pass!

I’ve never owned a car nice enough to steal. And I’ve parked my car in some pretty dicey neighborhoods in the past 15+/- years I’ve been working as an appraiser. I’ve stealed myself several times to the possibility of coming out of a bank owned POS house only to find an empty space where my car used to be. I’d be more…

I saw this a few months ago on Youtube, and watched the whole damn thing. How is it a old English gent can patiently assemble an out of date lawn mower, and just make it entrancing to watch?

Post More Stuff Jalopnik Editors! Anything to beat down that self congratulatory GAWKER post. Please, in the name of all that is holy. A Chevette doing a weak ass burn-out, some douche-bro talking shit about tuned Hondas. Just anything. Please?

I always liked the ventilated A-Pillars. Those looked awesome. Someone should have stole that design element and put it into production.

And, bookmarked for later use in conversations with my brother in-law regarding the Donald. Awesome gif.

I’m with you on this. I’m of a certain age where I have wonderful memories of late 70's early 80's motor vehicles, and there is no comparison between those and modern cars. The reason Chevy doesn’t make a $30k stripper model of the Suburban is because of the vast used car market for these things. Today, you can buy a…

I would suggest Jalopnik actually buy a “NPOCP” winner and see if it actually works as a family car. For instance, today’s car was an $1,800 mid 80's Maxima, as I don’t think the Gawker Media Empire can afford too expensive of a car. Would this car work for a family on a tight budget? Can it fit what the modern family…

No School like Old School. Plymouth knew how to do it back in the early 70's, on my parents Fury III. Those indicator lights were so far away on that hood, planes would make an approach, thinking they were the nearby airport run-way lights.

As the OP asked “when did VW make the best GTI”, I was referencing when the cars were made, not that someone couldn’t purchase one now and have it shipped to the states. Although even that is fairly rare, as it is still pretty costly in relation to the value of mid 80's hatchback.

Keep your unobtainable to the U.S. cars out of this conversation!

See, now you’re making me miss the ‘86 Golf my family had when I was a teenager/college student. Man that was a great little car. Tough as nails too, as I wrecked it three times. The final, and fatal one, was into a fire hydrant on the drivers side. Those little fuckers are heavy! Bent the frame rail and put a nice…

More sneaky is better sneaky.

Number 5 is the progenitor of many a movie robot.

The Mazda 6, compared with most competitors, is not slow. It’s just a tick faster than the Accord and Camry with the four cylinder & automatic. You also forgot to mention the new Chevy Malibu. It has a turbo engine, and has compared well with the competition. It can’t be had with a manual, but good luck finding an…

Smallest cars are the bestest cars. This served my parents as a family car very well in the early 80's. After my sister stuffed in the back of a Nova, we bought an ‘85 Golf. Slightly bigger, but tiny by today’s standards.
