While I don't disagree with the overall premise, that tires matter a lot, there are too many variables here for it to be a clear win. Torque, torque curve, weight distribution, how advanced the LSD and AWD are, etc. Get a 3 series and a 3ix, and compare.

Okay, maybe I just misunderstood then. When you said "hating a car or type of car" is anti-Jalop," that is what I disagree with. I hate plenty of cars, but if someone has a passion for it, so be it. I won't hate them for their preference, but I still may hate the make/model.

I disagree. Disliking a car or type of car is okay, but disliking someone who likes a car/type because they like a car/type is wrong. Have your preferences, both likes and dislikes, and be cool with everyone else having their preferences.

this. i like this.

I signed in just to give this cranky-ass, but accurate, comment a star.

I like James Bond movies as much as anyone, and I especially love the cars. So, I was excited to see the newly-announced Bond car, the Aston Martin DB10. It's very striking looking, powerful, glamorous, and about sixteen other adjectives that should never, ever be used if your goal is to actually, you know, be a…

Dimenna went on to say the Tweel is focused on "lower-speed, off-road applications where downtime from flat tires is a concern," —

This is a ridiculously good episode of MST3K. Thank you for reminding me.

You (they) missed a good one.

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.
