Complicating matters is the fact that it is predominantly the FREIGHT companies that own the tracks in the USA, and they have zero vested interest in upgrading them for high-speed passenger travel. So you’re looking at hugely expensive new corridors and new construction to implement high speed rail in America. With…

There are pockets where it could work. I live in Houston and there’s been talk in Texas forever about connecting Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio with high speed rail. I would ride that in a heartbeat, especially to Dallas. It’s a four hour drive, but close enough I feel silly flying (doesn’t stop me, but…

It’s his job to get good deals for people. If they get the good deals themselves, he won’t make money. We all see right through his shenanigans.

You’re just trying to keep us away so you can score all the deals yourself.  I’m on to you.

The guy who writes about business matters on this site didn’t know what “unicorn” meant until today. A word that has been clearly defined, heavily marketed, and incredibly overused by all manner of journalists, startups, and wannabe entrepreneurs over the past 5+ years, not just in tech but all over the world.

He is a consumer and worker that reaps the rewards of raping the environment and plundering its materials just so he can enrich and entertain himself. He continues to live a life style that…

I hate to toot the rusty horn of “my own ride used to scare me but then I conquered it” because that’s tackier than Willy Wonka’s finest taffy.. but it’s exactly what happened.

It wasn’t a stupid mistake. It was intentional. This is the same guy whos office tells you to put a mask on in between bites of your dinner. This time the press didn’t cover for him so he had to give his fake apology. I bet he sees family at Thanksgiving too.

Hasn’t like half of the Jalopnik staff written articles about large trips they’ve taken during the pandemic?

Second Gear: Cadillac is trying to shed excess weight as car sales diminish due to a lowering user volume ceiling in the future. Problem is, they’re being stupid about it by bribing people to go away. You’ve had fifty five years to learn that doesn’t work, GM. Fifty five goddamn years.

Fourth Gear: Oh, so it takes…

(as well as “what is your favorite Final Fantasy?”)

Where my mind still goes when I hear “turn-based tactics” (as well as “what is your favorite Final Fantasy?”)

And poorly thought out political commentary at that. Almost as if amateurs are doing it.

It’s crazy to me that there’s an “automotive enthusiast website” where half the staff seemingly hates cars.

All of these bans on gas-burning cars end up a little dumb in that, well, they are not taking place immediately

Shilling is vehemently opposed to liking things. It’s his whole shtick.

It’s heading that way real quick

Don’t worry, I just called 911 to tell the hospital to prep the burn unit.

Isn’t that what’s become of Jalopnik?
