OK so I do this often, but here is my defense. (Google Maps screengrab provided for corroborating evidence. First Street runs bottom to top, 280 on-ramp to the left. I would be approaching the on ramp from the bottom of the image.)

@madtube: As a jersey driver, I both take offense and agree with you. I'm a sensible driver and always make sure to park correctly and straight in spaces, leave room when parallel parking, pass on the left, follow properly and avoid using brakes on the highway. However; I will say that I am definitely in the minority.…

This guy hasn't "created" anything. Its just a crappy render at this point. Call me back when someone takes the first crap into their carbon fiber convenience.

When I replaced my muffler a few months ago, I made sure to take a few turns around my neighborhood with straight pipes. I never knew my car could sound so awesome. It even sounded great on the overrun, with that sweet sweet V8 burble from the 4.0 rover engine.

Can we institute a new Jalop-law that all gigantic, stupid plastic engine covers must be made illegal? I paid for the damn hemi/ls9/triton/power stroke, let me see it!

ohmygosh so much orange. Its like my shoes manifested into car form. Also, not being an engineer, portal axels seem like the devil's work. Can anyone explain in less than 50 words how they work? It has to be some kind of gearing, right?

@Josh Clontz: oh geez. you win.

As soon as you've ruined a date night by explaining the differences between the 1998 model year and the 2000 model year, you might be a gearhead.

This happened to me three months ago. 700 dollars was spent, and they were in the process of spending more as I cancelled my debit card. Thankfully apple did the right thing and refunded the cash in short order.

Those stairs are lovely, but can't compete with Victor Horta's Art Nouveau masterpiece, the Hotel Tassel.

Thats about as funny as a screen door on a battleship.

@Matt2k: My point exactly. I bet it won't have the split-folding rear tailgate either. that would put it in league with the RR sport for bad design moves.

I can hear my p38 rover crying out on my driveway. HOW can they even THINK about offering a 2wd RR???? its not so much the fact that its 2wd, but the fact its branded as an RR. I wouldn't care if they called it the freelander 3 or something. the RR badge is an affront to 40+ years of vehicle engineering and pedigree.

@ChiefPontiaxe is now also Chief VolvoWagonAxe: or my car now, which when the battery dies and you go to jump it, the doors lock your keys inside.

@taker86ps: And there needs to be a horn here... here.... and here. You can NEVER find a horn when you're mad. And they should play la cucaracha!

@a.mus.ed: those are the best entries in the service manual.

For all its foibles, my Range Rover has never stranded me... except for the time the front propshaft fell off. at 75 mph. in the left lane. It made one hell of a loud vibration noise, which lasted for about 30 seconds, then silence. I thought I had destroyed a tire and rim... but when I pulled over they were all fine.…

@wojo is an expert on everything, but only when on the internet: Frank Lloyd Wright designed a gas station in minnesota. It's pretty great. Note the giant cantilever of the roof.

I'm so happy that the writers on Jalop are douglas adams fans.

Home state of NJ, NY (and NYC, which is an experience in itself), CT, MA, ME, VT, NH, PA, DE, VA, MD, DC, and quebec in my 1997 Range Rover; and it's only ever decided to break on me while driving in Jersey. I've done AZ and CA in a rental car. I've also been a passenger in northern italy. Learning to drive in jersey…
