Rob’s on a well deserved vacation this week. Your regularly scheduled programming will return next week. 

If you have a friend that works at an ice making facility, I heard on car talk that a guy parked his car is one of those giant freezers for a few days, got rid of everything

It probably will bring big money despite the lumpy bodywork. But take heart in knowing you can probably afford a Corvair Powered Ultra Van. I had a late production example that they powered with a 307 Chevrolet engine.

“Thanks!

I’m not even kidding when I say this: please wear a ventilator as you’re pulling out the rodent nests. That stuff can be genuinely nasty.

Good news, though!  the Braking Controller has a Street Value of $40, so you are already in the black.

Hey! Nice Find. Look on the bright side.... it’s in WAAAY better shape than the POStal project.

Yes, like in Star Wars.

I hate when Grand Theft Auto starts lagging out and the streets are filled with the same couple cars.

Their fueling rig was supposed to flow a little bit slower. Seriously.

“which believes the social networking aspect of the app is one of the key reasons people use the service.” No. No it is not. Everyone I know thinks it’s creepy. The only reason people use it is the same reason people are still using FB. Cause it just happens to be what a majority of other people use, and who wants 10…

I have absolutely no reason why Venmo includes a social networking aspect, and I have yet to meet a single person who actually uses that feature on purpose. The fact is, people use Venmo because it’s a convenient and easy way to pay people for things. It’s easy to find other users and share that info (the QR code…

The solution is so simple! Just stick a hand on the front and back of each truck and have them bump into each other and hold hands. Then, they can talk to each other and agree to accelerate and brake uniformly. If you get enough trucks holding hands, then when the ‘platoon’ encounters a hill, the ones at the bottom…

I know I’m in the minority but I agreed with the call. Vettel made a mistake and had regained control of the car before heading back on to the racing line to block Hamilton. If you haven’t regained control of your car you don’t go back to power which Vettel clearly did.

Fact: Anything you say on the internet that you preface with “Fact:” becomes true no matter what you say.

Wrong.

I’m ready for the $5/yr subscription.

Moar clicks mean moar ads!!!  Ad blocker picked up over 300 once on a single page.  I love Jalopnik but fuck me, the site wouldn’t even load on my mac before installing the ad blocker sometimes.  I’ll support you, just stop pissing ads out of every orifice at me.

This is the truck we need. Someone create a Change.org and a gofundme to get the development costs paid for.

Same size, with an available manual, 5k lb tow rating, and a low ride height version (because lifting heavy things into trucks sucks when you are old). They would sell literally dozens a year! And I’d be one of…

Reminds me of highschool when people would replace their damaged Wrangler bumpers with 4x4 beams.
