That said, I think the biggest surprise about driving one of these is how non-claustrophobic it actually is in there. With the little fabric sunroof open letting in a breeze and all those windows around you, you don't feel cramped. Weirdly, it's almost like your wearing a gigantic helmet as opposed to being in a tiny…

• The tour guide we had spoke about the robots on the factory floor in surprisingly human terms. One she said was a Swiss robot, and since it was Swiss, it was very, very precise. Like it's subject to the same stereotypes as swiss people. She referred to these big industrial arm-like robots as having faces on several…

• The whole factory runs on methane, and much of that methane is extracted as gas produced from a nearby landfill. That also means that, hypothetically and with enough logistics, the factory could run on farts.

Maybe. But my money's still firmly on a two-plus hour trip to Dimension Stupid.

Yes, they could have called the police. But cops would not have gotten there in time to do anything in this instance. Having it on video is pretty close to the best they could have done outside of stopping the other vehicle, which probably wasn't feasible.

Next time Jalopnik asks for what people think are 'the best posts,' this will be on that list for me. This and E30 rally car. Great read.

Agreed. This is the story that got me reading Jalopnik regularly instead of every now and then.

It's a solid maneuver, to be sure. But the only reason it came out so well is because the person behind the truck actually waited while being unsighted. Had they followed closely, or even moved up, the camera car would have gone from a T-bone situation to a head-on. Not exactly a step-up.

The only problem with this is that tv shows on regular channels require sponsors. Who sponsors car shows? Generally car companies or accessory companies. And even if they don't sponsor his show directly, surely there are such commercials on CNBC and NBC more generally. So he can't be honest about any particular car if…

I do not envy whoever is tasked with coming up with unending streams of top ten lists day after day. It seems Sisyphean and torturous. But with that pity for and your colleagues having been noted, this is one of the worst lists that's been run, and there have been bad ones. It seems as if it is made up entirely of…

You, sir, have taken my lols for the day. Well played.

"In the most simple terms possible, oversteer in when the front wheels slip while cornering and oversteer is when the rear wheels slip while cornering."

That last bit is probably the weirdest part.

"What this means is that about halfway into your loan, what you're doing is essentially taking $400, placing it gently in a quilted paper towel, wrapping it twice snugly, and flushing it down the toilet..."

Thanks for this. Many lols.

When the Pacer lost its planned rotary engine for a straight six and a V8, it defeated its original economy car purpose. Quickly, AMC embiggened it to make a small, affordable wagon and the project was salvaged.

Now, I suspect a few people will reply here and agree that normal car free maintenance programs are pretty stupid, but luxury brands go above and beyond to make them worth it. BMW, for instance, is famous for offering the best program in the business: 4 years or 50,000 miles — and they cover brakes, which can be a bit…

But anyway, you purchased a new Jetta, and you're all excited because Volkswagen is going to take care of the maintenance, free of charge, for the next two years or 24,000 miles. Two years! 24,000 miles! THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES! YOU COULD DRIVE AROUND THE WORLD! TWICE! OR TO THE GROCERY STORE A BUNCH OF TIMES!
