Granted, my entire Chrysler 300 experience is in the form of a rental car I had for a long weekend probably 6 years ago, but I really liked it. Doubt it’s something I’d ever buy, but I’d definitely pick it out at a National lot again.

Glad to see my inapplicable (in retrospect) answer made the slideshow.

My shame shall live on in infamy

Haha, well, you got me there.  That’s what I get for not reading carefully (and I guess assuming I was on lifehacker).  I’ll turn in my jalop card accordingly.

For worst I’d say any of the GoDaddy ads from like a decade ago. I honestly don’t remember any specifics around them, just recall them leaning hard and into the “sex sells” concept in pretty cringe-worthy ways.

I’ve only seen BvS once (and that was years ago), so I don’t remember all the details, but wasn’t that vehicle also commandeered by Bruce Wayne? Seems weird that a billionaire “civilian” would be driving a Jeep Renegade with emergency lights otherwise.

Jalopnik was one of the big reasons I transitioned back from Chrome to using Safari on iOS. Safari allows you to have a proper adblocker (I use AdGuard). It makes reading sites like Jalopnik bearable again.

Well yeah. But I mean, this is Jalopnik, and it’s weird and brown.

Looks like they were recreating the Mustang from The Thomas Crown Affair (1999). It was the protagonist’s around town car at one of his, likely many, vacation homes (this one in Martinique, if memory serves).

I’m kind of surprised by how heavily the “no dice” contingency is in the comments. Like, undoubtedly it’s “some guys project”, but it’s $6000. $6000 for a used car these days seems like throw away money. And for a quirky japanese truck (albeit one with a SBC)? I mean I get it, but it feels like for $6k someone is…

I don’t see them anymore, but does anyone remember in the post F&F early ‘00s when people started adding lighted windshield washer nozzles to their hoods?

Thanks for the detailed explanation!  This is one of those “quirks” of EVs that I just never really considered before now.

How are we going to have a post about facelifts and not talk about Volvo. Not that they were ever that bad looking to begin with, but with the switch to their latest design language (basically when everything got the Thor’s hammer headlights), they’ve been some of the sharpest cars and SUVs on the road.

Earnest question: how to do an EV’s brake lights work with regenerative braking? Do they come on anytime you’re not on the “gas” pedal? Or do they only come on when you’re pushing the brake pedal?

Yeah, weirdly some of the earlier years had both.

Obviously a completely different application, but my old Mustang has tucked tailpipes, and I’ve had an ongoing internal debate on whether or not I like them. On one hand, it’s super clean looking. On the other hand not having duel pipes sticking out the back kind of feels wrong, considering how nice/rumbly of an…

The only reason I ever started using Uber/Lyft was because it’s a lot easier and quicker using an app than having to call a dispatcher who may or may not get a car to you. If traditional taxis had a similar, digital way to hail a car, I’d rather go with them. Maybe they do now? (it’s been a couple years since I’ve…

As many have touched on, tires are the answer.

I were picking one perfect Nolan movie, I’d probably opt for The Prestige. Memento is great too though (and, to your credit, feels a bit tighter).

I show that I don’t care about stick figure families by not adding stickers to my rear windshield.
