I certainly agree, for whatever reason people don't understand the phrase "better safe then sorry", even after examples of what being under-prepared for such an event can lead to (Katrina anyone?). And being prepared wasn't difficult, the extra food is never going to go bad, same with the water, and I already owned a…

Very few? Maybe not the most vocal Forza players, but without trying to sound like a braggarde (but I may anyway), I certainly could buy a porsche if so desired. As could my 59 year old dad who also plays Forza, and so could my good friend that helped me build my Forza racing cockpit. As my generation gets more…

You make a very valid point.

I'm not trying to sound trollish (I think every comment should start like this) but was this statement condoned by Apple? I know he receives a salary from Apple so he's technically an employee (right?) if he wasn't given authorization to make a statement from Apple could he be risking his job (the salary received)?

I feel like this is a Jalopnik article in the making. I've just got one more question, how do you get a job doing it? What kind (if any) degrees do you need? I promise to stop bombarding you with questions after this (maybe)

Seriously... this is why Jalopnik has the best commenters. I... I'm so friggen jealous. Not to go too far off topic but a few years ago I took a tour of Chrysler's Chelsea Proving Grounds, the guide that took me around told me that while test driving seems like an epic job it can get quite boring. I was told because…

Sometimes the drive to a LAN party can get treacherous.

While I agree 100% that you can get a pretty sweet deal if you lease, I have a weird psychological thing where I don't like driving a car that's not "mine" (this isn't meant to sound sarcastic, I've had lease vehicles in the past and always felt slightly uncomfortable driving them). Also, I have a bad habit of voiding…

Old/unique cars that I spotted as a youngster brought me into the fold there isn't a specific car that sticks out. When I was a child I referred to any old car on the road as an "old timey car", I barely have a memory of this, but I'm told I always watched out the window and if ANYTHING unique passed by I would get…

I heard a tree fell on a Jag somewhere around 13 mile. I heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy so details are fuzzy but that storm really slammed the whole event. Luckily when I saw on my phone that a storm was rolling in me and my buddies jumped in the car and cruised so when it hit we were in the dry car. I…

Me and my friends always talk about taking a car to Speed Week... but how is it for just spectating? It's going to be years before I have a car that's salt worthy. Would it be worth driving out from Philly (yeah it's a hell of a drive) to watch the runs? Or is it boring if you're not participating. I already go to a…

I'm quite good at popping a bottle open effortlessly using a lighter. And I always have a lighter on me (ex smoker, and firm believer that a flame is always a good thing to have). So while these keys are a good idea, I don't find it necessary for me.

Volkswagon the origin of douche.

One of the few radio girls that looks as good as she sounds!

Just finished watching the movie. Good stuff! I watch quite a few documentaries, and this was really entertaining for me. I love seeing Jack go from a phony to a jackass to a guy that realizes his fans are intelligent people who simply enjoy being entertained. Do we know how Jack is doing these days? I assume this…

Very well put. If I had that kind of money I'd love to hoon the shit out of a Maybach.

Yes that's definitely Aziz, which is awesome because part of his schtick is how much he loves Jay Z.

I just recently let my 97 Eagle Vision go. I loved that car, it wasn't cool, but I have a couple cool cars ('69 Camaro RS/SS and my supercharged AWD Magnum) this car was my daily driver and had been for years. It had been in the family since it was new, I remember riding in the car with my grandma when she bought it,…

I've seen a couple fire trucks in NYC battering ram cars out of the way when they need to get to a fire. A friend who's a former city of Detroit fire fighter told me about the time they were going down a narrow two lane street to a very large building fire (it was an old warehouse that had plumes of smoke that could…

A tourist was visiting London, it had rained the whole week she had been there. Toward the end of her trip she saw a young boy and asked him "Does it ever stop raining here?" the boy responded "I have no idea ma'am I'm only 8".
