“If they wave you, just go.”

The why not was already addressed in the article.
In addition to what was stated there, the other problem is if you go ahead after being waved, and the waver changes their mind and proceeds and hits you, not only is it now your fault for violating their right of way, but also (if on a…

“I mean. . . you would, too. 6' 4". Redhead. 38J.”

I’m 5'10". No way I’m dating a woman that much bigger than me. NTTAWWT.

“I don’t get why they don’t get rid of the clutch altogether at this point. It isn’t needed.”

This is Jalopnik! You should know why motorcycles still have manual transmissions when autos are available. It’s part of what makes motorcycles fun! Sure, shifting can be a pain sometimes, but part of the allure of…

The reason to wear all that gear is because you don’t have seat belts, air bags, or climate control on a motorcycle. And if you crash you are likely to be ejected from the vehicle.

“So the Ford 5.0 was on par as one of the most powerful AMerican V8's...but would get it’s ass beat by the Germans, and a little by the Japanese.”

Set them up to tow a loaded trailer and see who beats whom.

“Now, get me a Spaceballs themed Winnebago.....”

Now you’re talking! 

“just trying to guess why people might still use a Garmin.”

I use one on my motorcycle (a Garmin Zumo series, which is motorcycle specific). It has several advantages over a smart phone:
Waterproof; touch screen can be used with gloves on; works when hot or cold (whereas phones will shut down); better visibility in…

My guess was AMC Matador Coupe. Boy was I off. Same era though!
My cousin had a Bradley GT. That was maybe 40 years ago. I thought it was cool at the time, in the same way that the Opel GT was cool.  I’d rather have the Opel. 

““The 1970's were the worst decade for US automobiles, period.”

““Stuft” Why? WHY? “

So it can be trademarked. “XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito®”

Uniroyal heap of shiznit when you have tire damage like that. Pirelli should carry a good spare tire on board. 

“...how is video an inefficient way of communicating? “ 

It’s a joke.  Did you miss the humor in the article?

“...the no-post version (sometimes called a “hard-top convertible” because marketing”
Two-door with no B-pillar = 2-door (pillarless) Hardtop 
Four-door with no B-pillar = 4-door (pillarless) Hardtop

“That sounds like AMC’s answer to the Chevette Scooter.”

That version of the Gremlin predated the Chevette by several years.  It’s Chevy competition back then would have been the Vega.
