You are not, nor in the future conducting a business transaction with the person who hits your car. Its called doing good business, and making someone whole so they feel good about doing business with you in the future and at the very least, give you positive word of mouth on how you handle problems. A coupon doesnt…

Why would he want a voucher to rent again from them? So they can screw him over again? There are plenty of choices out there, find the one one that wants your business and keep you coming back. You get one chance to impress me, and if you dont, Im gone.

I’ll be that guy. As far as being way overrated on this site, its David Tracys beloved Jeep Cherokee and his “Holy Grails” The fact a car has a manual or doesnt have power windows doesnt make it Holy Grail to anyone but him. Most overrated vehicle on Jalopnik. There are 4×4 SUV’s out there that were being made when…

Early 90's Nissan Maximas had these as well as Subarus from the same era. They went away after there reports of people dying because of them. If the door was torn off in a accident it tended to maim, choke, kill, and decapitate. As a firefighter, I saw more than a few people seriously injured or killed as a result of…

Tornado was a completely different much larger, front wheel drive, V8, executive coupe on the same chassis as the Caddy Eldorado and Buick Riviera. Much more of a land yacht than the Cutlass ever came close to being.

You had to be around then to get it. I was born and raised in Lansing, home of Oldsmobile. All of my uncles built Cutlasses. My great grandpa, grandpa, and dad built Diamond Reo trucks. My drivers ed cars were all 1982 Cutlasses donated to the school by Oldsmobile. My first 3 cars were Cutlasses, 2 76's, one Supreme…

The thing I dont understand is why did the GM engineer do this to a bare bones, base 6000? As you brought up the Eurosport, the 6000 STE was the car to do this with. As a high schooler back then, I remember Car and Driver LOVED the STE, comparing it to the best Europe had to offer. The handling for a car of the time…

Just because its not on anymore doesnt mean its not a HBO asset that still makes huge amounts of money to this day, and has probably made 100 times that 3 million since it was paid. Legacy is a big deal, and Tony is probably one of the most recognized characters even on screen. To ruin that would hit HBO hard. It put…

I bet NBC told Spader if he did x amount of episodes of the Office they would cast him as lead of The Blacklist...deals like that are done all the time.

You missed The Last Castle, which was made in 2001, same as The Mexican. His acting in that was pretty damn good and he had a major role in it, and Robert Redford didnt do too bad of a job himself. Mark Ruffalo was in it as well. He was also in Zero Dark Thirty, and The Taking of Pelham 123. Enough Said was good…

Calm down Green man, he very well could have told them to fuck off, but instead he opted to take 3 million buck to do absolutely nothing. I dont see what the big deal is. He could have taken the 4 million and had to work for it. He should be thankful HBO came to him with the 3 mill, rather than go to NBC first and HBO…

Toyota doesnt do that because its a Suzuki, not a Toyota.

While durable, I would throw in the Chrysler Slant Six, which wore out its welcome as it was around from 1959 to 2000. Some say it was one of the best engines ever, but in my experience every one I drove seemed gutless and underpowered. This could possibly be due to the transmissions they were paired with or the…

Dont forget the green spoiler protectors to replace the yellow ones  all the douchenozzles roll around with now.

ummm, youre asking for shit like this to happen when 3 people get into a high performance car with a 27 year old driving that is built for 2 occupants. As they say, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

regarding #2, not to mention the 4 chevrons in the median that the Vette probably obliterated while flying over the median. Theyre lucky he didnt wipe out a bus full of kids or something while crossing the road..

Thats not a regulatory speed limit sign, it a warning sign. Its the recommended speed limit based on engineering studies. Nothing weird at all about it. Pretty much every curve in the country has them.

First off, all you theorists on here taking a LA area reporters word about anything about anything get a life. They called a L intersection a hairpin for starters. And where did they get the 150 mph number from? The police? Thats a estimate, they wont know until they get into the cars black box. It is certainly…

I really dont see the point of this on many points. 1. Changes the front end, but cant do anything about the wrap around taillights without some major sheet metal work (the previous generations lights didnt wrap around the corner of the van) so you'll be called out on that. 2 why spend money on looks when you know…

A fire dept or private ambulance company wouldnt do a EGR delete or mess with anything unless it was straight up replacement, more than likely with factory parts using a licensed certified mechanic. Way to much liability with the type of service these see. My Dept would never think about deleting parts that were…
