I’m honestly astonished a cheetah can out accelerate a Formula E (for reference, Google says a Formula E can to 0-62 in 3.0 seconds)

I wanted to feel sorry for the guy, but then I read about how he embarked on a cross-country road trip without a license.

It’s called ‘Death Discharge’ and in all cases of federal and most private loans, the debt is forgiven if the borrower dies. There are some situations where loans can carry over after death, however.

Non-motorized drift trikes are also ridiculously fun, and half the price of the motorized variety. You can easily reach 12 mph using pedal power. Buy a motorized one for the kid and this for yourself. We raced these in a cul-de-sac at work but I’d kill to take one down a big hill.

You mean... like this? Oh the humanity! FWIW the power button and aux jack are on the ends of the cylinder, so if it was plugged in you couldn’t stand it up anyway.

He’s also one of us

Aw, I used to love typing ‘fuel’ into Google Maps and only getting hits for ‘Pacific States Heating and Petroleum.’

The couple, a dedicated pair, actually had the sticker made before adding it to the window of their vehicle after the dotard was sworn into office.

The title of this article should have been ‘Jalopnik Challenge: Beat Tom at his Own Game’

If you look at the lineup, they’re clearly taking aim at the Audi A5 Sportback and the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, both of which start around $41k. So you can get a well equipped, GT Stinger for a few grand less.

WTF your plate expiration is based on your birthday? That’s like requiring homeowner’s insurance to drive your car. Completely arbitrary. #Logic

Would be far more interesting if he bought and sold a new car every time he had to ship it, and flew instead. You could easily do it for the same cost and it’s probably the same amount of headache as shipping. Then he at least gets to try new cars along the way!

It’s 180 combined, 118 total electric. Not really an apples to apples comparison because it’s a PHEV, not a true EV...

That was awful. Clearly nobody thought to give this guy even thirty seconds on “how to properly hold a fake gun so it looks believable”

I think you’ll find a lot of people will cancel their Model 3 orders when it actually comes time to fork over $35k. It’s easy to wait in line - you’ve already paid the deposit and there’s nothing left to do. The only upside is that you’d be $1k richer. I know several people that have put down deposits that definitely…

The i3 almost isn’t comparable to existing other non-Tesla EVs. It’s $48k with the range extender and it only goes 118 miles! The Bolt is $36k and it’ll do 240 miles.

On the flip side, motorcyclists need to stop tailgating as well. I get that a moto stops faster than a car and sometimes you need to move up to get off a car behind you, but tailgating me just makes me think you’re being an a-hole.

In practice, maybe. Riders regularly split in CA when traffic is moving 50 mph (speed limit is 65).

Only for permit holders which is fucking shocking. I honestly assumed all states had a no calls/no texting law, because it’s been a thing for so long in the states I’ve recently lived in (OR/WA/CA)

Likely on drugs, possibly spooked by the bear for Big Bear Car Wash at this intersection (actual picture of intersection below)
