Once again for the kid who failed 6th grade government and civics: that’s not how the federal system of government works in the US - here’s a wikipedia article on it if you’d care to be educated to a high school level https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federalism_in_the_United_States

several logical problems with your analogy. First every death has a specific cost on society. From the purely minimal legal standpoint, it requires significant paperwork to record your death, the matter therein, and to what, if any, extent further investigation of the circumstances of your death is warranted. It is…

This was a terrible mistake by the Ford marketing team. They insisted on writing his name as Miles; and the French hated it. If they had used his initials as Ken wished, km, the French would have accepted him.

One of the worse things I see in this report is the ignoring of the construction workers. I’m a good enough engineer to know I don’t know everything. A guy with a high school education that has actually done stuff with his hands and not just on a computer knows a lot more about how things actually work than I do. Some…

Yes. :( It’s such a travesty, but it appears as though upper management forgot to put their big boy pants on today in order to weather the internet meanie-poos.

The sad part that that’s price isn’t really that far off from market value here in Finland (where it’s currently listed for sale). New costs over 200k€ due CO2 based taxation :/.

FWIW, the German TUV is a very important part of German car culture that allows unlimited speeds and products that have a well earned reputation of engineering excellence. While stationed in Germany, GI’s learned that when buying a used car, one that had recently passed a TUV inspection was always a good idea.

On the square steering wheel, I guess there is some 70s British Leyland revival going on... Who would have thought the Austin Allegro was some 45 years ahead of its time?!!

Standing to one side is a thing, not just “in our heads”, really not sure why this is such a big issue, let people walk if they want lol, noone is pushing people off the escalator so they can walk up it

That’s why I don’t whitelist them on AdBlock.

If you look at my comment history you’ll notice I don’t comment much anymore for these very reasons. It’s just too much of a pain in the ass to deal with page loading. I have literally had the page cause an exponential memory leak that ate 16GB of RAM in seconds because the page got stuck in a loading loop trying to…

I’ve had it with this fad of calling these monstrosities coupés, I wish Jalopnik would introduce a ban on the word whenever it’s misused by automakers? Maybe find a code word to use instead of it. I vote for poopé, but I bet you can come up with something better.

I’m not sure if you’re joking - it’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of because driving stick is not really an inherently logical skill. I don’t know why, but I feel compelled to share my tips. Maybe it helps someone.

That’s more than a little bit of bullshit. There are solid, rational reasons to prefer a mix of physical buttons and virtual buttons.

Idiot. And I don’t say that lightly. You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

Growing up in the UK, my view has been:

Oh dear......

Funny, because if there wasn’t such a social/left pushback against the current capitalist president, the US would be governed by an Authoritarian regime, and well on its way to full totalitarianism

Capitalism is the path to totalitarianism. It always has been and always will be and can not be anything other. Big C capitalist beliefs must be crammed down on a majority at the expense of a minority and that takes force. If you want to understand this, read Marx’s “Das Kapital”.

Hello dum dum (in the voice of the great Gazoo) you’re supposed to get the teeny TDI not the gasser. Better fuel economy and torques for the hills. My TDI golf had all of 90 hp, never had to downshift over the cascades or poconos, and much better engine braking.
