Triggered much? Way to apply politics and a label to everything. This is the black & white thinking that is only furthering the polarization and division going on. I know it may come as a shock, but a lot of us are in the gray area in between.

The constructions that cause traffic jams, probably waste way more gas than anything else. They need to focus their energy on eliminating traffic jams, which are horrendously bad in Germany.

It’s a sign of cultural responsibility, a big F you to the nanny state which has become the EU.

Dangerous things are dangerous, hone your skills, follow the guidelines and go enjoy your life.

Pushing a NA V12 BMW with cutouts at WOT from 45 mph deep into triple digits is a life changing experience.

I disagree. The general public very much cares about being able to get in the car and drive themselves where they want to go on their own schedule in their own vehicle, and the majority of them want to get to their destination as fast as possible. You don’t have to be a car enthusiast to like the benefits of travel by…

I’ve been to Germany twice. And the Autobahn is glorious... But not every part of it and not every day of it. There are three major problems I’ve seen with the Autobahn in my time there:

We have a lot of sources of emissions. The share emitted by cars is actually in the very low double-digit percentage points. Perhaps if we want to build consensus on actually doing something about climate change (rather than bickering about whether it’s even real) we should start by tackling the huge portion of our…

A true story, unfortunately. You can still manage to make some seriously good time driving late at night mid-week. And, there is a derestricted section between my home and office where I exceed 200km/h on a daily basis. But, most of the time, yes, it’s just sitting in traffic and roadworks.

bubble wrap entire world.

Having recently done a German toad trip from the Nurburgring to Munich, I can report that the unlimited autobahn is already on life support. A huge portion already has strictly enforced speed limits.

Imma let you finish but the 500E is the most badass sedan of the 1990's.

So what you’re saying is, you had a Mk4 VW once?

I don’t really understand why the engineer would say something so counter to what reality appears to be

Bad take: isn’t this your fault, too? You wanted a Supra, badly. You wanted the ultimate Toyota tuner-sports car, the follow-up to the revered JZA80. You wanted something that can equal it, maybe even surpass it. You wanted the 2JZ engine. You bugged them for god knows how long. You saw all the SUpra builds. You got…

My guess is, these assholes didn’t have any clue how fragile the ecosystem is, or they did know but just didn’t care.

HEY EVERYONE SHUT UP, THERE’S A GUY WITH A HUGE LIFT KIT AND A TINY DICK SPEAKING. 

There’s actually a LOT of overlap between knowledgable auto enthusiast and unrepentant asshole.

Do yourself a favor and at least go drive a 2013-2014 Porsche 981 Boxster. It has the exotic look and feel you want, is the most fun to drive car you can get at almost any price, sounds amazing and can be had in great condition for your budget. That generation has proven to be very reliable, the maintenance is minimal…

2010 Honda Fit Sport in Milano Red. 

One of the next great writers is here at Jalopnik. Beautiful story, I wish you the best. 

I’m not cynical about how tech is developed. I well aware of the R&D spent and the thousands of man hours to develop it. What I’m cynical about is the attitude of Silicon Valley and it’s use of buzzwords to re-invent the wheel in a money-losing fashion. A fraction of startups do any serious R&D to advance technology.…
