What acid did these engineers drop when they agreed to press on lobes? Nobody thought shit would come loose? Not even a few spot welds for good measure?

I could have done 95% of that video in my wifes CR-V. Congrats for surviving it in a Hummer.

Here ya go...

Exposed timing belt on off road vehicle.

I’ve driven the GX through hood high snow. It doesn’t have locking diffs but the brakes are used to deliver power to the wheels with the most traction (they clamp down on spinning wheels). It’s actually pretty amazing. My F150 wouldn’t move 2 feet in the same snow. I managed to high center it a couple times. Had to…

I was cross shopping it with a Lexus GX in my mind. I can get an 07 with 100K miles for the same price or less. Real 4x4 with 2 speed transfer case and solid rear axle. V8 power and Toyota reliability + modern entertainment system and leather. Off roading isn’t something I do. Resale isn’t really a factor for me…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? I wouldn’t pay 18K for a 30 year old car unless it was investment grade and I planned on storing it so I could watch it appreciate. This is just another old car. Pretty nice but still old. Low powered, slow. Not particularly safe. I could buy some pretty nice modern hardware…

Looks to me like a case of asshole (swerving into them) on asshole (speeding recklessly, passing in a no passing zone, no safety clothing) crime.

The driver should be charged with attempted murder - but because he “only” hit a motorcycle, he won’t be.

I’m a VA resident. I have a coworker who had a project car that he was working on. It was nor registered or inspected, since it was a work in progress. At one point, he had to move it out of his garage, so he could work on his daily driver. The project car was moved, and remained on his property (along side of his…

Methane from decomposing human waste.

Yabba dabba do!

Waste Vegetable Oil. The fact that you can pull something from a fast food fryer and run on it, emitting the sweet smell of french fries is amazing.

The minute he touched that woman, he lost any sympathy I might have had for him. I was on his side over this bullshit but then he got physical. I think he should have gotten some jail time for that. You know if it had been a male officer he wouldn’t have done it.

I totally 100% feel you on this. The only problem: this is a Gawker property. Mockery is the fuel that drives this particular vehicle.

Look up NC-215 between highway 64 and US-276 in the Blue Ridge Mountains (near Brevard, NC). Perfectly paved, not very well-traveled, magnificent view of the area at the top and I’ve never seen a cop in the many times I’ve driven it. Definitely one of my favorite roads in the country.

Lighten up, Francis. It was funny and didn’t detract from the reporting of the actual piece of news that inspired it. Nor did it minimize the difficulties facing the myriad VW employees who got screwed by their executive leadership.
