I have not bought a rebuilt salvage vehicle, but I have looked at them before. I've found that often, by Google searching the VIN, you can find photos of the damage from auction listings. Sometimes, the damage looks very insignificant (particularly, those theft vehicles)...other times, it makes you wonder how or why…

And sadly, not the kind of disaster that can bother us into action, like a hurricane or a flood. It's the sort of slow-moving disaster that our current political system is sadly incapable of dealing with at the moment.

For the same reason that automakers can't suddenly dump Takata despite making their lives miserable (or more miserable), we're probably months away from getting all the replacement airbags needed for the millions of cars that have been recalled.

Doesn't sound good, I hope they have combed "Mile High" stadium to make sure he didn't have a medical event off in some low traffic area or in the corner of a restroom

Before the first of the new D6-based models arrive, Lincoln will update most of its existing products, starting with a redesigned MKX midsize crossover in spring 2015 and a replacement for the MKS large sedan in spring 2016, sources said. The latter model will include a long-wheelbase version with more room inside for…

Amazing for a team coming off a Superbowl win to go all scorched earth policy on their players. I totally get wanting to move on from Harvin and Lynch, but do it with a smile and an expression of thanks, not griping.

Okay, that blows. CarMax should be paying advertising dollars.

...okay, that fine, but who is going to fulfill Darren Rovell'sCatholic schoolboy fetish?

I can't decide if CarMax should be paying advertising dollars to DeMuro and Jalopnik, or filing injunctions.

I'm trying to work with ryguy85's post here...it's gonna be an uphill battle to make this funny. How about this:

I may be the candidate for worst runaway car save ever. Car was rolling away, but would have stopped on its own without hitting anything, yet I still tried to save it by opening the door and pulling it back.

Is Honda (or any other manufacturer, for that matter) bothering to take the same measures as GM?

There were indications that there was inaction or insufficient action on the part of Honda, despite knowing that there was a problem. I can't recall where Takata stood in all of this. That said, I don't think we need to get the pitchforks out yet... the bar has to be set pretty high for criminal charges

...but if you don't have an Xbox One yet, why would you want another one?

Did this make for an awkward flight... or did the flight attendants have no shame?

...of course China will still make unapologetic knock-offs! They will just be made out of .010" thick aluminum.

If your car didn't come with Xenon headlights, you can add them yourself with this conversion kit. Prices vary a bit by specific models, but I couldn't find one for more htan $30. [55W HID Xenon Headlight Conversion Kit, $30]

He has been working there 37 years, but just took over the top job right after bankruptcy. But yeah...he is left with a shitty legacy that isn't necessarily of his own doing.

GM stock was already down from the Jan 1st price when the ignition switch recall was announced in mid February. It then bounced back and forth during the heaviest news coverage, but it crept up about $2 per share (from the pre-recall price) by July. Then, the news coverage subsided, and the price went down. I can…
