Reading the comments section in Jalopnik every time there’s a study that says “cars are bad actually” is both amusing and depressing at the same time. We’re all Jalops, we all love cars, but there’s so many things that we use cars for that just aren’t necessary at the end of the day. Some of it can be easily

The report notes that the American Eagle employee manual specifies “the ingestion zone for all aircraft types is 15 feet,” and that personnel should not enter the ingestion zone until an aircraft’s engine or engines have fully spooled down and come to a stop.

Houses are too expensive, so I bought a Porsche.

We can’t even reliably teach people how babies are made in our public schools.

Well!!!! This should put an end to that myth that “loud pipes saved my life”. Or are they going to mount an 18" speaker on the handle bars and synthesize the sound of the ICE?

If you look at the past 120 years, the company has always evolved, never stood still

If it’s hot out, AC can still find cold to pump. “Freezing” is relative. Just like 115 F is “Cold” to a 200 F coolant loop. Even if it’s very cold (for humans) outside, there is still lots of heat, relatively speaking. Heat pumps lose efficiency as temperature drops but it doesn’t go away completely. My home heat pump

The “light truck” and subsequent “SUV” classifications have always been politically motivated junk. Its just funny the way its coming back around.

How else are you supposed to get the bottom clean?

It’s-a me, Mario, and Afeela like-a this-a name-a sucks-a!

That is so far from the truth its ridiculous that an automotive journalist versus me wouldn’t at least do the slightest amount of

Except they already did small economical EV’s and nobody bought them. Nissan Leaf, VW e-Golf, BMW i3, Chevy Spark EV, Smart ForTwo electric, Ford Focus EV, Fiat 500e.

Considering that Tesla named its cars S3XY I would imagine anything by them that referenced the Hummer would be NSFW.

Dunning-Kruger Expert” is my new favorite slur, thank you.

Could it also be that more people who got vaccinated also happen to have jobs that allow them to work from home and/or that they were more cautious about returning to in-person work, thus were not on the roads in the first place?

Vingroup has businesses all over Vietnam. You might buy groceries at VinMart and clothing at VinPlaza.

Indeed, this might be the only saving grace for me on the fact that cars are moving towards an EV-only horizon. I'm looking forward to people moving away from SUV's... and back to wagons.

Cars from the same type/category all have structural similarities.

In other news, all smartphones are rectangular, and all microwaves are a box with a door on the front.

That’s a pretty good Nissan ad. Probably the second greatest Nissan ad ever. After this one:
