Normally I’d agree with you on that second paragraph, but it doesn’t really matter. Cop or not, if someone points a gun at me and I’m carrying, you better believe I’m doing everything I can to shoot first. (Also note, I live in NC and have a valid CCW, I don’t know the laws in MI/Detroit specifically as I have never…

Like lostarchitect said, if he is carrying a gun, and draws it in public, in NYC, he’s a cop

Why was this one of the most interesting articles I’ve read on Jalopnik in a while?  Well done Torch, these are the kinds of questions that run through my head much too often!

Keep your cars low, and your trucks in the garage or behind the locked fence. People are dirtbags for doing this. Also, one more reason to install a test pipe </itsajokeEPA> #rpmact

I’ve been a Sys Admin for over 12 years and can %100 confirm and agree with this. Thank you for saying it, I’ve been saying it since I heard about the “hack”. Also, I live in Charlotte and it sucks trying to get gas here, heading back to NJ for the weekend lol

Correct, except it should be a near perfect trip for the price you pay, compared to those other roads as they’re all free.

Also, now compare that to the rest of the state, like Rt. 88/70, 295, 195, 33/34/35, even Rt. 9 south of the Driscoll bridge. Hell, even compare it to the Parkway, which costs less and is a better…

Haha, are we going to ignore how bumpy, pot-hole infested, and horrible transition between bridges and non-bridges you are? How about how un-patrolled? (the fast part I’m okay with, except I’ve seen way too many dangerous maneuvers occur, even right in front of police who do nothing)

Then, don’t get me started on the…

Don’t get me wrong, I know where a lot of the issues in NJ stem from - space. The fact that the state just kept (and keeps) building and building, trying to get the most profit from the smallest area of land, making it more and more densely populated is causing a lot of issues. Without having the room to widen roads,…

Are you new to NJ?  or only lived there a short period of time?  If so, give it time young grasshopper, you will learn to hate them. Especially once traffic increases back to normal levels post-covid. When you are on one and need to make the left (to complete your U-Turn) and can’t get over. Or if you just want to go…

Yes! This is crazy, also the fact that basically every on-ramp ends. Other states have some on-ramps just become the new right lane

I agree, though I never considered those jughandles, as they don’t form the big circle

Again with the no left turns... currently I reside in NC (Charlotte area) and being able to make left turns and U-Turns is very convenient

Turnpike? You’re one of the MAIN problems with driving in the state

How about NJ in general? Jughandles instead of left hand turns, left side-exits (NJ Parkway has a few of these), no U-Turns allowed in at least %90 of the state, oh and there’s a cop on every corner running radar with speed limits that change multiple times within a few miles on a road, just to generate revenue

I may win this debate.... here are my choices, IMO from the bottom to the top (cars able to be purchased and driven in the USA only here - sorry Alfa 164)

1987 Chevy Beretta

Whoa I know that guy, but not from his school bus videos, from his urbex videos - also because a friend of mine and him had a thing for a little while. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of him, though this video was informative, thanks Torch!

No guesses to Rivian being purchased by Elon?

Mazda 3. Affordable, reliable, easy/affordable to repair, small, nice enough to get you in/out of the city, if maintained should last a long time.

So what you’re saying is, if I see a Tesla on the road, stay clear of it, ESPECIALLY if I’m walking/riding a bicycle/a pedestrian not protected by 1.5 tons of metal and plastic. When will marketing departments get what’s coming to them? From mundane things like ATT putting “5G e” on 4G phones, to Tesla doing this,…

From one Matt to another, I’m sorry for what you are going through, it’s not easy, but keep your head up and you will make it through. The CTR was a great choice at the time, but it is no longer the car for you, and that’s okay. Personally, I got myself a ‘16 Jetta GLI that I leased new, and have now financed…
