And if Jalopnik were free of Gawker, we could finally be free of the shit that is Kinja!

Yeah, it’s the worst.

So, I’m voting NP, but there’s a big question mark here for me. The 3.0 V8 had some good versions, and some very bad versions owing to BMW not being all that great with their metallurgy in that era. As it turns out, the liner material chosen on the earlier 3.0V8 (nikasil, IIRC) has very poor wear properties leading to…

So what you’re saying is, you posted something on the internet.

Oddly enough, yes. While at the hotbed of automotive releases that is the Denver Auto Show in 2010, my friend was in the midst of a hunt for a new car. I still remember what he said as we left, “I never thought I’d say this, but I’m really excited to go look at that Hyundai.” Less than a week later he had a Genesis…

If I’d been on Jalopnik two hours ago, I would have. I know, I know, I should be on here every waking moment.

Cue the outraged mechanics in 3...2...1...

That’s a joke, right? They’re going on a road-legal mass produced car.

Sorry, are italics not sarcasm font here?

You’re not wrong, technically.

Not really. When someone is being a dickbag by going slow and sitting in the passing lane, they deserve to have someone make them uncomfortable. Hopefully that feeling will encourage them to get out of the situation.

Shit like this is a GREAT justification for owning a fast and maneuverable car. Most of the time the jerkoffs (non gender-specific) are in larger vehicles like SUVs and having something faster and more maneuverable allows a driver to either distance themselves from road ragers or to prevent attempts to brake…

Right, which is dumb. Why would you daily drive something that literally offers NO advantages over any other vehicle on the road. Stops worse, goes worse, handles worse, gets worse gas mileage, looks terrible, isn’t as comfortable (usually)... Dailying a giant-ass truck for the sake of having one is purely illogical.

I had the good fortune to sit next to a fuel cell engineer from this project at the Long Beach GP. Well, the evening drifting event at least. Cool guy, but the way the fuel cell operates in this car is mind-boggling.

Just a thought, but given that SkyWest says no door came open (or off), could the rapid descent due to passenger illness be where this came from?

What I’ve read indicates that airplane pressure changes with altitude, and is significantly higher (vs. ambient) at 37000 ft. At 10000 ft, there is an almost zero delta…

Question 1: How much did it cost?

Answer: RTF...L(ink)
1990 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR RB26DETT 5 M/T $23,995 -SOLD-

Shops that are generally well-regarded, except going to pick up the cars of other people. The “in-trouble” part of the equation is corroborated by knowing employees (sometimes former) of the shop. Is that the kind of proof that would stand up in court? It’s debatable.

I was there, and this was far and away the most disappointing part of the weekend. That includes an IRL race without ANY PASSES (except those due to pitting).

“That’s why the car’s interior is so funny. You can tell Alfa cares only about making a car you’ll love to drive, and all the other little details weren’t important. If you ask me, they have their priorities straight.”

And then there are shops that arbitrarily mark up parts when they need extra money and don't tell the consumer. I don't care if your shop is about to go bankrupt, that is just as bad as stealing parts off a car. If you can't run a business, don't start one.
