“Stocks in a tailspin” Hyperbole much?? How many days over the last few years have we seen the Dow drop 500 points? Many. 500 points on an 18,000 point index isn’t very much - hardly a tailspin.

Based on the millennials I’ve met, this is really the lifestyle they are perfectly fine with - mooching off mom and dad for as long as possible to keep from growing up. Unfortunately their Gen X parents are enabling them. For shame.

You’d be amazed and horrified about how many people do zero research before going car shopping. For most people cars hold no interest, so their eyes just glaze over at all the choices and information.

Maybe this is why Gawker is in trouble - with 2 identical articles on different sites written by different people that are entirely speculation about this actor’s death. Other than regurgitating information about the Jeep recall, neither article contains any factual information about the death. Click bait.

Interest rates are determined by the banks, and in CT the max dealer markup of a bank’s offer is 2.5%, so Ms Morales simply has bad credit. Many, many dealers use that minimum trade advertising technique, and they all basically use the rebates and the full sticker profit of the vehicle you are buying to “show” you

So the IOC had to choose between Chicago, Tokyo, Madrid and Rio. So naturally it chose the city and country least suited to such a massive project. Why are the Olympics held in 3rd world hell holes so often?

I’m just trying to figure out why Hyundai chose to reproduce the old Toyota Avalon

Toyotas actually hates the rest of us. Before we would just be irritated by either the slow “I wanna run only on battery” Prius drivers or the “I’m doing it wrong” speed demon Prius drivers, but the car basically faded from memory instantly. Now its like staring at the sun, and you feel blind and a little sick every

Sadly, this really is our autonomous future. We won’t own our cars, we will just pay for the service and one of these pods will show up whenever we need one.

I think there should be compulsory military service for all young men and women. Especially with all the butt hurt feelings, safe spaces kids seem to need today. Time to toughen up.

Agreed. The GT is better looking than the Touring, but gives up all the practicality that the Touring had.

I’m noticing the dual exhaust on this one...

I totally agree. The only thing missing from the GT is power. It already looks like it has power, just never actually had any.

I had a 2013 Elantra GT and loved it. The only thing wrong with it was a lack of power. Never understood why they didn’t sell better.

A mess sunshade? How GM of Tesla. Why hasn’t Musk thought of this:

If you can get an HEL, you can get a 0% credit card and do a balance transfer instead. Makes more sense than risking your house

It’s absolutely insane. People do do it all the time, same with taking a home equity loan to pay off credit cards. Let me think - you want to pay an unsecured debt with secured debt? Makes no sense to me. Why put all your eggs in one basket? If you get into money trouble, you’d rather have a paid for car and lose your

In a world where people live inside their phones, swiping away or blocking conflicts, people have lost the ability to handle face to face confrontation, and the result is a violent outburst. Here is but the latest example.

It's a struggle to get jalopnik to load quickly on my phone. I would doubt the connectivity speeds would allow a remote human driver to save the day in an emergency

Mazda is timing the diesel intro to the returns of Alfa and Saab so it will be a big party.
