Based on one of the angles seen in this video, there seems to be a go pro mounted on the steering wheel but it isn’t visible in other interior shots. I smell conspiracy. Who’s with me?

Question: How does this fantastical company called Rinspeed turn a profit? This has bothered me for years. It seems like they are a perpetual concept company with no viable consumer-ready products. Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks internet!

I have a 1974 bmw 2002. The previous owner removed these diving boards and installed some bumpers from a 1973. I got in a sub-5 mph crash that damaged the bumper, the kidney grill and dented the front body above the grill. I wish it still had the 5 mph bumpers.

Paid $4000 for mine five years ago. I’ve done regular maintenance and really nothing more. The car starts nearly every time, even if it’s sat for a month.

Seeing a frowning man sitting on top of a smiling man, both sitting in a 1/5 scale spaceship is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

The amount of content and features available on non-luxury cars is usually just a few years behind luxury cars these days. My Friend’s 2015 Outback has way more tech than my 2010 LR4. Granted - some of that is because Land Rover tech is usually about 5 years behind its competition. But I digress.

This seems to be the trend with modern “off road” vehicles. They destroy the olds in the traction department but totally fail in the toughness / ground clearance / articulation / everything else department. My LR4 has enough electronic gizmos and locking what nots to maximize traction, but you can’t fit big tires and

30% of them have pop-up headlights. Where have all the pop-ups gone?

Do those vestigial wings provide any usable lift?

October 26th, 2015, the day butt-plug cannibalism, one of the fastest growing religions in the world, gets its start from a cheeky blog post on a little-known car enthusiast site called Jalopnik.

I love this series of racing. It is supremely entertaining. It’s akin to going to the dog races only to find you arrived for Dachshund night.

Nice Volvos
