I think we’re far closer to solving nuclear fusion than convincing Karens to use the correct lane. 

If we properly educated American drivers about lane etiquette and, well, driving, there’s no reason our interstate highways couldn’t be a fast as the German Autobahn. They’re designed for aircraft landings and troop transport, after all.

I want to shake their hand....

Well, here’s the thing: you don’t get to pretend things you don’t like don’t exist. This is noteworthy. It’s also of note that it’s very dangerous and illegal. 

Is this incredibly awesome or incredibly stupid?

Thanks for this story.  Powerful.

Fun fact, the rear AND front seats fold flat in the first gen XB!

Looks like it didn't just go up high but also looks like a bit of distance between that curb it launched from to the second story of that building. Insane.

Porsche CarAIRa.

I think the problem here is that you can’t actually market this thing to people who don’t know about cars. There’s no wool-pulling. It’s not like the Urus (I finally have an excuse to drive a Lambo!) or some heritage-laden tweedmobile (Careful with the Jag, darling).

Lots of car names became famous to normies for…

I dunno, you seem a bit jaded—sure, it’s no Pininfarina design, but it’s a really handsome shape that’s a fair bit more attractive than much of the competition.

Your shift key seems to be.... oh. Well played.

I convinced a friend to do just that. In fact, I drove it home from the dealer for him (the dealer was an hour away and he was concerned about the mix driving). He’s now a pro at stick and loves the car.

Get a Fiesta ST and learn to drive stick.. Hill start assist (or whatever Ford calls it) negates the qualm about driving stick in traffic on hills. 

HOLY SHIT. I love the internet sometimes.

Let me tell you about this time a car hater came to Jalopnik to make comments that no was able to relate to.

You could just have written about the confrontation but at the end you took things further and peppered in some practical advice on how to modify the vehicle to prevent this. The extra effort you put in is noticed and appreciated.

Shocking. I always figured guys who bought Dodge Demons were totally zen and would only go to tracks after journaling their feelings and embracing their inner children, and then only to help others there self-actualize their potential. This comes as a great surprise.

The answer, as always, is GTI...or in this case, Golf R. Here’s one in Springfield, about 10 miles away, for 35k.

Maybe it has a trunk, or a frunk, or both!
