I’m still driving my 2013 Volt that I bought new. I elected not to buy the extended warranty, figured the money would do more for me in my own pockets and if I needed to make an expensive repair I would use it then. 5-1/2 years later and the money is still in my bank account working for me. yay me! 75K miles and no…

Jalopnik liked it though! https://jalopnik.com/2017-chrysler-pacifica-the-jalopnik-review-1794831101

Honda made me pay for a post assembly line roof rack on my minivan. A ROOF RACK! ON A MINIVAN!

I’ll give another angle here. We just shifted over to ‘minivan land’ and bought a Pacifica Hybrid. The top of the line model is loaded with techy gadgets your kids will love and hits your pricetag, and it’s really nice inside. How badly DO you need AWD? If it’s for snow and it really bothers you take that savings and g…

Sleepers have always been my thing. This is how our family rolls. My brother and I built his ultimate sleeper from our grandmother’s ‘69 Buick Special Deluxe (4 door). Originally coming from the Buick factory with an inline 6, gramps knew what was up and had the dealer upgrade it to a 350 V8. Boys being boys, we knew…

This here... Complete CP, Not worth it at all. Can’t be used for hauling or offroading, it’s way too nice. Fine for some collector to bring to shows on a trailer, but that bright white is way too... white?... to have on a DD. As a collector vehicle? This is an odd duck, and although a nice restoration, it’s still an…

I don’t understand the problem people are complaining about here. Insurance should be paying out market replacement value for the vehicle. So she should receive a check from her insurance company to replace her burned up 2012 Kia Soul with a different similar 2012 Kia Soul (not burned up). And she should be continuing…

No photo, but my favorite automotive gift was in high school, within my circle of friends one of them had a car which had reached the point of “those tires are dangerous” on all 4 corners but they didn’t have the money for new tires. The rest of us got together and decided we would all pitch in and get new tires. We…

He deleted all of twitter? That’s actually a good move. It’s really better for everybody that way.

I’m all in, driving electric is really something else. My point is that electrics skew fleet average MPG numbers so it’s really not a fair measurement anymore.

My mind is on EVs and PHEVs vs old school power. What’s going to happen to classic cars 40 years from now when gasoline is barely available?

Maybe what we should be doing is separating gas-only fuel economy from ‘other’ drivetrain types. With improved combustion efficiency comes more power, so raising fuel economy standards also means MORE POWER!!!!

I’m guessing that she did not - that’s how the whole mess got started! She leaves the rental with her keys, goes shopping, comes back and “unlocks” the wrong car with her Sentra fob, which opened for her thanks to the keys being in it. She gets in, it starts, she drives off none the wiser thinking she used the correct…

I had a friend who lost the keyfob between the seats in their Infiniti SUV (QX80?). They just left it that way. Anyone could have gotten in and driven off with it. It’s stupid to leave keys in the vehicle, the guy deserved it. The modern car thief just needs to walk around any large parking lot trying doors until one…

So is the guy who just leaves his keys in his car...

Don’t forget that the way the $7500 tax credit is designed to “expire”, it begins to drop in value before going away completely, so it doesn’t just stop all at once.

That’s a “simple solution”?

Nah, it’s because certain Oppos were using Oppositelock to get press credentials to drive days which in turn was reflecting poorly on Jalopnik and hence the split.
