I’ve been knocking around here for a while too. I got sucked in to the Jalopniverse by a Nice Price Or Crack Pipe link that showed up on my AOL home page about 26 years ago. I’m older than most here (I was driving a CRX Si when they were NEW!). I’ve been on the internet since it started. But outside of the jello…

I suppose we could do a kickstarter for some sort of semi autonomous drone with a bunch of cameras that could live stream with only occasional human interaction. The result would be basically the same, just with a lot less of my old speedo clad ass drinking until I fall overboard.

My retirement plan is to buy a boat and sail around the Bermuda Triangle until something happens.  

Maybe they should just focus on the list of cars that don’t need a Takata recall at this point. They could probably just group text the dozen or so owners of that cars that are good, and the rest of us can go get in line for replacement parts.

Something doesn’t add up. People have tried and failed to make GT-Rs (that are under 25 years old) road legal in the US for decades. But you can buy a new Roxor, run some wires to the tail lights, and you’re good to go? No crash testing or emissions testing needed to make it legal for all public roads?

This is it. It is finally happening! The hubris that will destroy the house of cards that is Tesla and the con man douchebag that is Musk. It is going to be glorious.

You should demand a refund.

It took nearly an Infiniti amount of years, but Marky Mark is finally right.

Stuffed in a 90s era Taurus.

It doubles as a skateboard so you can have back up transportation when your Taurus inevitably fails you.

I’d love to see how he handles contract negotiations if the Redskins offer to sign him.

BMW Executive: Everybody likes the Hofmeister kink. It’s classic. Let’s do more of that.

I just keep finding things after thing where I stop and think “thats brilliant! If I built a car, I would do it that way”.

They do a decent job of covering cars like AMG GT when they get them on their test track. They recently reviewed the Bentley Bentayga and the M850i convertible. One of the editors did say he’d prefer a loaded Kia Telluride and a Miata instead of the nearly $200,000 Bentley, but I’m ok with that.  

I think it’s more likely the 3.6 l V6 that’s causing the problems. Timing chain and oiling issues have been lunching those things for years.

Probably because of the garbage CVTs they started putting in everything in the late 2000s.

Back in the olden days of the early 2000’s, I was one of the handlers for a Dub Magazine H2. It had 22” or 23” wheels when it was the new hot size, and it was fitted with Pirelli’s that were new to the market. It was like driving the Nimitz, but with less visibility and a bigger turning radius.

Also, cars have gotten so much better in so many ways. Justifying buying a new car over one that’s as old as 8- 10 years is getting harder every year. Unless cutting edge safety, tech, crazy high MPG, and impressing the neighbors are all at the top of your list of needs, buying a slightly used vehicle (or even…

Pilot droids are a thing. L3-37 in Solo was a pilot droid. She(?) was mostly used for navigation but apparently quite capable of flying the Falcon before becoming a part of it.

IG-88 was built to kill, and seemed pretty happy to do it from the moment he was turned on. And 4-LOM was a protocol droid turned bounty hunter, even though it was blamed on a ‘glitch’.
