414 accidents out of 161,000 pilots is a death rate of .2% per year. 38,000 accidents out of 227,500,000 licensed drivers is a death rate of .0001% per year. It’s too expensive for most people to fly weekly and the safety equipment is woefully inadequate in most of the fleet. GA airports are often surrounded by…

My Dad worked at the plant that assembled those cars. They loved the 6000 STE. It was the only car they built that had any semblance of style and the AWD system was cool. They had to install a special chassis dyno in final to run the rear wheels on and they also had to pull the air suspension fuse once they were…

One of the big pre-orders was from a company called E Squared Energy Advisors. As recently as Christmas Eve 2020, Lordstown was bragging about the company placing a pre-order of 14,000 vehicles. That would be unlikely, though, as Hindenburg discovered that E Squared isn’t a registered corporation. It’s a company with…

They can’t afford safety, even selling them for as much as they are. “Simulation software” can only tell them so much about vehicle dynamics in a crash. It won’t tell you if the battery is going to catch fire because you put the main contactor in a place that broke loose or got crushed during a side impact. These are…

You laugh, but that Cavalier is probably more reliable than the Vector.

At least they don’t have to worry about crash testing them because they’re not making enough on an annual basis. It’ll probably be a death trap but it’s okay because EV.

“Spencer had a shop install the guard and winch, and he had the fabricator weld the top section that leans forward to protect the vehicle from deer strikes.”

The only thing this machine is designed to do is print money. Auto manufacturers lose money on every single hybrid and electric vehicle they sell. Stellantis wanted a piece of that full size SUV pie and they weren’t going to put a Ram or Chrysler nameplate on it like their prior failures. Nor were they going to piss…

The Iron Duke and V6 cars aside, the V8s were decent cars, especially the IROC. Yes, low HP meant that they’d run out of breath after the quarter mile, but they weren’t as bad as everyone drones on about the low HP years. They still had decent amounts of torque for the era and were competitive until the early ‘90s.…

Is it really a Jeep? I don’t see a Jeep or Trail Rated badge anywhere.

TL:DR: Buyer beware. Independent off-road testing confirms that Ford skimped on the driveline components again and put a Bronco badge on a tarted-up Escape.

“Some Black people will get mad at me for revealing this secret, but the reason you rarely see the phrase “some white people” is because white people have a habit of excluding themselves from criticism.”

a. Why didn’t he leave? Oh wait, he was being bullied and couldn’t leave? Someone starts shooting me with a BB gun and making me drink urine, I’m outta there or finding a way to call 911.

It’s a game intended to get half of the proceeds from the contract for Workhorse. Workhorse is a pet project for both Democrats and Republicans and I’d be willing to bet that they’ll supply the chassis and running gear for an EV mail truck for final assembly with Oshkosh when it’s all said and done.

I voted NP. I was 13 when the 456 was introduced, so naturally I’m going to want it. But the biggest problem I’ve come to realize as an adult is that owning a Ferrari is like owning an airplane. They are a blast to drive and you will be the envy of the neighborhood, but it’s going to cost a small fortune to keep up…

“On some models, like the Bolt, the discounts are extremely steep. However, they never include federal tax credits, like the $7,500 the IRS allows you to claim for buying a fully-electric vehicle (though not all EVs are still eligible).”

Nebraska and Iowa. Two states that are so boring I would have never imagined a Jalopnik hit piece being authored about them. I spent seven years of my life in both states for school, never noticed anyone being particularly scary or mean. “Iowa Nice” is still a thing, I guess.

I am glad the billionaire who booked her passage did so, she will get to do something that very few people in Earth’s history have ever had a chance to do—viewing the Earth from orbit. Godspeed and good luck.

This car was the Chevy Volt of sports cars. It had a lot of potential and the concept car made us fall in love with it, but the final product was hot garbage. The chassis finally got some good tuning in the S197 Mustang, and the Mustang would have been better with the IRS from this car.

They have a secondary latch. But it doesn’t always work. It’s probably something else 911 owners can hold over C8 owners in terms of either overall intelligence or build quality, but if people buying a >$59,000 vehicle can’t figure it out, that risk plus the extra expense of outfitting a sealed frunk on an (expensive)…
