Several years back there was video taken as a big ship, just a medium sized cruise ship I believe, not one of those truly massive monsters, plowed into a pier at walking speed. I remember it leisurely tearing through what seemed like couple hundred yards of wooden plank pier as horns and sirens blew and anyone with…

How about a Slideshow?  They fix everything.

Obvious Jalop answer missing - a couple thousand of these should do the trick:

Two thoughts:

Close but no cigar. The simple fact is that the Suez Canal is old and too small for modern ships.

They REFUSED to publish my story about my Miata getting locked to a Supercharger! It’s been there 7 months, still on E. 

When Tesla stops crapping out $hitboxes maybe Jalopnik coverage will be more favorable.

Locking plug = So people don’t go around unplugging cars “just for lols”, or to plug in their own.

The J1172 (you know, the standard plug that every North American EV uses except Teslas) has a little manual lever you push with your thumb to release it and a dedicated low-voltage pin to cut the high-voltage feed when a disconnect is detected. It’s simple and it works. It may not be “cool,” but it also can’t hold me…

I’m very confused as to why a locking plug is required. 

I think FCA really let a lot of the heritage die on the vine over the past decade or so.

I’m not sure how much brand equity Chrysler has at this point, other than “your grandpa’s boss might have driven one.”

This^^ The Challenger and Charger have NEVER been majorly redesigned. Who wants to buy a 15 year old car for NEW car money? The Hellcat/Demon engined cars are the only appealing thing they have anymore and they are way too expensive for most people to buy. I won’t miss them if they go. They have a lot of American…

Stellantis is like the show Chopped, where a bunch of random stuff is thrown into a basket, and you’re forced to make a bunch of stuff just... work.

Erik, as far as I’m concerned this is the best damn article you’ve written here, and not by a small amount. You found a topic that every gearhead has an opinion about, found an interesting interviewee who was willing to talk about it, and then you just let him talk and wove a story around the quotes. I’m not sure I…

Same here. I drive into the office about once a month now. The speed limit on my local highway is 55 and people normally drove 65-70 before the pandemic. Yesterday I was going 75 just to keep up with the pace of the traffic (and to avoid being rear-ended). There were lots of folks doing 85+, some while changing…

“More speeding, more drinking, more drugs, less enforcement.”

The people who are on the road are absolute maniacs. Suddenly the limit isn’t the traffic, it’s the bald mismatched tires on your 2000 Grand Prix. Then you hit a bridge support.

The behavior continued even as traffic volumes recovered

First: Anecdotally, I’ve seen a lot of terrible driving on the roads -- worse than during normal times -- and I think there are a lot of folks out there who are distracted. No one’s at their best during COVID, and some people are actively at their worst.
