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…

Had the Hot Wheels version of this car as a kid and it’s never left my mind since. Such an awesome looking car.

Broke-ass mentality gets a broke-ass picture to represent them. Just show a picture of a loan shark in all their glory.

The Horny is starting at $30k but if their hybrid version starts lower than $45k, they just sank Alfalfa’s ship.

Nissan Maxima. So many people claim it drives like a sports car (or that it handles well). Got a manual in mine and drove it for a year and my friends have to remind me that I had one at a point in time, probably because even when I took it to canyons I don’t really remember it being a “great” time. I remember my Ford…

I love cars but I can’t tell you it’s even remotely reasonable, practical, or sustainable. Let’s be real, most if not all of us have had more than 6 cars in our lifetime (my total car count is 20+ thanks to the fact that I loved picking up projects but that’s over for me). The problem I see is for the average person…

7 years to pay off a car. The average life expectancy is 79 years in 2022. If you’re in your job until you’re 65 years old, assuming you do your 4 years of college and graduate at 22, then for 43 years you will have to repeat that cycle a AT LEAST 6 times as a working professional if you keep upgrading after the loan.

His work is an absolute gem of this world. I can’t tell you how many times I rewatch his Cars of the People mini-series. Maybe not his best work but an awesome piece nonetheless.

Wouldn’t wanna associate with people who think making practical choices to keep more of their money is stupid anyway.

Considering how little I drive (<2k miles per year), that’s not stopping me.

Wow. Didn’t expect to see RADWIMPS on Jalopnik!

Coworker gave me a ride home in one when my bike tire popped earlier this week. City streets only, granted the fastest speed was 60 MPH because of the wide roads here. I have a 2006 beater Prius that rides at HALF the wind noise that Model 3 did, which is significantly newer and has a quarter of the miles on the…

I think we’ve all learned in one way or another that lawyers sell their services by arguing at literally anything and everything, even if their odds at winning are blocked by common sense.

That doesn’t make this any less unbelievable.

Yeah that’s what I mean. All that depreciation probably comes at a cost I have yet to think about. But this weekend it’s time to bust out the calculator I used to fail AP Calculus!

That phrase is so old I reserve the right to say “ok boomer” whenever I hear it.

Electric bikes, I don’t think a rack could cover the weight.

The Crosstour is not a horrible car, just woefully ugly. The Mirage is also horrible when you compare it to a market seeing an average of $40k per car, but saying it’s the worst is a take so far uprooted from reality, it’s like saying a Mercedes isn’t nice because Rolls-Royce exists. The CrossCabriolet is just so…

Oh yeah, this is a great suggestion too! Except I ferry my bicycles around and would like the enclosed space.

On the other hand, if Toyota sold a fuel-cell crossover...

The only solution these governments have is to expand the freeways, which, as history taught us with projects like Katy Highway, only makes things worse at the expense of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer money and sealing the average person’s fate for car dependency. The cost of this infrastructure is…
