Very Super Troopers.

Same.  Prescription sunglasses.  Which is doubly-dickish, given they’re pretty much bespoke to me.

2019 Mazda Miata - The proximity key and it’s auto-lock mechanism, hands down. It’s intended to lock the car automatically when the fob gets far enough away after shutting it off, i.e. when you go inside. It doesn’t always work, and it’s a little inconsistent. If the trunk is open, it doesn’t work. Sometimes if you…

I... Don’t think you’re using headphones correctly. They go in your ears, not up your ass. Headphones do not have an odor, regardless of who you buy them from.

RAMP THAT SHIT

Kids actually keep getting smarter. It usually seems like they’re dumb, but just look at what gets taught to kids and when. When I was a kid, we had “computer class” to learn how to use computers, how to type on a typewriter, etc. Now, kids know more about how to use computers than I do by the time they walking into a…

Fairpods is an excellent term. Well done, youths!

Dead Kennedys definitely did.

The... the guy from Motley Crue?

Unimogs evolving Gremlins-style from G-wagens is my new official head-canon.

I’ve spotted or picked up several pairs of Air Pods just lying around on the sidewalk (I’d happily give them back to their owner if possible! I don’t even use Apple crap). I don’t know that this counts as theft per se. You forgot your nondescript gadget. You’re lucky to see it again. Buy a new set and be more mindful…

What’s really incredible (at least to me) is that the driver not only survived, but wasn’t even gravely injured. Safety has really come a long way in modern cars.

COTD is the McRib of Jalopnik.

8,000 hours and it looks kinda like somebody took a few rolls of that “wood-panel Contact Paper” and did an above-average job with it.

The Corolla will run better than the Dodge, and it’ll run well for longer than the Dodge, but a Dodge will run like absolute shit forever.

A Dodge will run like crap for longer than most cars will run at all. Early-2000s vintage FCA all over where I live. Invariably rusting, with mismatched panels, collapsed suspension, exhaust busted, belts shrieking, misfiring, on at least one donut tire (fingers crossed the brakes are still good). They will never die,…

It still strikes me as very strange that they never made convertibles. I’m genuinely curious as to why that goes beyond “we just don’t want the extra money.” There must be some sort of structural/manufacturing reason that made it basically impossible.

Given the market (and assuming there’s nothing dodgy going on, which there probably is) this is a reasonable price. However, given how fast these have depreciated, particularly the high-spec ones, I’d wait a while and let them come down more.
