Now imagine trying to merge uphill (because every expressway in Japan is at least partly elevated, and the ones that aren’t frequently use underpasses for the on-ramps) into traffic that doesn’t have to make space for you. It’s not fun. Oh, and most of the Kei cars make 40-50hp. Only the turbocharged ones make 64hp.…

Well, that’s bullshit. Someone on the Jalopnik payroll must have a traffic court appointment, and doesn’t want to alienate the opposition.

I’m guessing this is an un-contested COTD.

Nope, that’s not the tone at all. That’s the thought of “Tom” which is made clear through the writing. Raph’s writing tone is more of a, “Look, I was going to just ignore this little bit of excrement, and not bother writing because sleeping is a better use of my time, but they wanted me to write so here’s why they…

Having lost control and spun through the comment section I have to agree with you.

No, thank you for wasting my time by adding your comment to the non-comments thereby increasing the time I have wasted by reading everything, plus your reply, and feeling the need to comment on your comment regarding non-comments, and not reading articles.

You know if you just give those rear wheels a little negative camber, you could probably get them inside the fenders so it isn’t “Mexiflush”...

That’s actually not true for most two lane roads in the USA as if both lanes pull off to the side and create an opening in the middle the space is maximized. Whereas if the vehicle is supposed to drive down the shoulder/edge of one lane then it has only the space left by the vehicles occupying that lane, and they most…

I’m sorry, but you’re really fishing with that one.

Ok, so please don’t take this as me saying your spelling is wrong in the grammar nazi sense, but I was trying to figure out why I was reading compliant as complaint, and when I googled I realized that I was thinking compliant is spelled differently than just switching two letters. Who knew it was so easy to go from…

You don’t have to worry about the burn marks, you just have to worry about the lithium cells making the car go full Italian.

I was thinking strong bar magnets to align the horns, but, I doubt they’d support an entire bumper.

I have to say that this may be the farthest off-topic I have seen a Jalopnik post go. I’m impressed. And I’m not even including the fact that a post about a computer system problem is just barely transportation related/qualified for Jalopnik because it happened to the vending machines for passes for trains.

But I bet he doesn’t pay more lawyers

I think that’s how the majority of rich people everywhere think. After all, there’s no problem money can’t solve.

The headline reads a bit weird. It reads like he was practicing crashing. Which would make his death sort of ironic. I’m not sure it’s the tone you wanted to convey.

Of course, Tomek G would want a Model T... Is there anyone on Jalopnik who wouldn’t want a Model T?

I’m sure someone will take a crack at it.

Your horrible. Take your damn star.
