Not Rockstar’s logo, the Dewbauchee brand, which parodies Aston Martin.

The Hino Samurai. Few people know that the Japanese truck maker even made passenger cars for a brief while, much less built a race car. And what a race car. It was designed by Pete Brock, and was so fast that Toyota leaned on race officials to change the rulebook to kill its racing career in its infancy.

These kinds of acronyms used to be cute, but at this point it’s painfully obvious that Muskrat simply stopped maturing at age 12.

Y’know, it’s really weird to buy a car from the same guy who has total access to your social media account.

“Hold up everybody, let me make airport security theatre even slower so I can artfully pose all my crap with the logos facing up.”

All I see is this:

Muskrat already uses Teslas as spyware. Has everyone forgotten about how they secretly record people with the cars’ cameras, then pass embarassing images around the office to laugh at?

How would a cop looking at a parked Tesla know if Sentry Mode was activated?  Are they just blanket-towing every nearby Tesla just in case?  Either way, this seems way too broad to be legal.  By the same logic, they could just seize every laptop they see because the webcam *might* have been on and captured something.

There’s a LOT of cool cars that were either kneecapped or never built because GM was terrified of losing a single Corvette sale.

Saab Sonett IV based on the Aero-X concept.  The world needs more funky Swedish sports cars.

Guys, let’s not pretend these people are sticklers for proper permitting paperwork.  They’re worried about the noise.

Except the bigots screaming about DEI are a small (albeit loud) group.  Most people support diversity.  And if Ford looked at past examples of this (Bud Light throwing trans people under the bus, Target dialing back their pride offerings, Harley also abandoning DEI policies), other companies alienated way more decent

I like how this guy takes delivery of his new Model 3 and the first thing he does is take it to be detailed. How does Tesla manage to get brand new cars so dirty?

With Tesla’s habit of constantly “iterating” parts, every car they make has new model year headaches.

I’m gonna be really disappointed if this car ends up being unobtanium like the Polestar 1.  Mass produce it you cowards.

“Make Jalopnik great again!” —some weirdo who only started shitposting here 2 weeks ago.

An extra $30 a month to use an inferior version of an app I can use for free on the smartphone I already have?  Are they high?

None, because even a cookie-cutter tri-five Chevy is lightyears more interesting than the greyscale jellybean crossovers that make up modern traffic. I even get excited seeing some Boomer driving his rusted out 1978 Cadillac down the road.  Even if it’s not my taste, I’m happy to see someone keeping an old car alive.

All this extra tech that people don’t want just adds to the base price, and greatly increases the cost and complexity of repairs—and that’s bleeding over into the insurance companies and dealers doing warranty work, too. At some point OEMs need to quit chasing the feature bloat and start decontenting some of their

Don’t get my hopes up like that.
