How come you guys have to turn the video into a choppy gif with an annoying background behind? That only causes it to be ridiculously small and inconvenient to watch. Your entire article should’ve just been a link. I love Jalopnik, don’t think otherwise. Just annoyed by the method of sharing videos. 

My hometown has speakers with simulated train horn sounds for in town crossings.  We get over a 100 trains a day and if the actually honked every time I don’t know how anyone could sleep within a mile. No you can still hear these speakers from a block away, but it’s not miles like a train horn. 

Am I the only one who thinks that from the front it looks like tundra?

Hey! I’m pretty well rounded in cars. It’s a passion of mine. But you just blew my mind. I’ve even worked at Honda specialty shops and never heard of this. Thanks for the detailed response!

So adefinitely some beautiful cars there. But I have a question that bugged me right away. In regards to the mini van in you cover photo, HOW THE HELL DOES THE SLIDING REAR DOORS CLEAR THOSE REAR WHEELS?!?

I agree with you on most of your argument. But just in case you didn’t realize it, (in iOS) you can 3D Touch to move your cursor. I found this to be much faster and accurate than hunting a pecking through each word.  Only reason I mention it, is that I recently just enlightened several coworkers and friends to this…

While taking high performance classes at Wyotech we came up with this mod and tested the efficacy of it on a dyno. We wired a resister in place of the Engine coolant temp sensor. This resister was then wired to a switch in the vehicle that would activate it or deactivate it. What it did was trick the ECU into thinking…

Rav 4 and Crv if I’m not mistaken

Maybe I just had a long night, but I can’t help but read Arbib as Airbnb.  

On the same premise my name Jake, and I get asked if I’m from State Farm a lot. Or if I have on khakis.

Deserves more stars

If you’re going to get on high horse about sport team names, why not pick the “Washington Redskins?” Seems way more racist to me.

Right, and 100 years of, “well shit that didn’t work” moments under their belts.

You enjoy warranty and recalls? I walked out of a dealership because I was tired of getting that stuff exclusively and only getting like 75% of the labor time because it’s warranty work. Like the ford dealership I was at for awhile had recalls on fusion headliners for wrinkling. To replace the headliner you had to…

Don’t feel too bad. We all do it. I’m a master certified ASE tech and I’ve done it. Silliest thing I’ve done is when I was replacing an intake gasket. Got it apart before calling it a day. In the morning I got it back together, fired it up, and it was missing on random cylinders and ran like shit. That’s when I…

Hold on a second, do I see a three pedal mini van?!?

USA Midwest guy here. I only ever hear it called gas in my neck of the woods. When people say fuel it’s almost always referring to diesel if we’re talking vehicles. Fuel may also get used occasionally for random stuff like kerosene or something similar.

There’s several “underground” cruise nights in my town during the summer months. We used to have a sanctioned car show/cruise weekend but some idiot pulled a cars and coffee after a burnout and pinned a mother up against a tree and killed her. So sad. The reason I tell you all of this because the city made a law…

I took a motorsports and chassis fabrication class. It was taught by former nascar and other racing chassis engineers. They would’ve considered it blasphemy to add to weight to balance a car. “A heavier car is never the answer” was pounded into my head. Porsche was blasted for this in the (I think) 80’s and 90’s. A…

My 2011 international truck has factory tape player. Don’t know if a work truck counts
