I’ve never seen a 16yo that looks like a 30yo wine aunt. Freaky...

I can. My wife and kid, not so much.

Pfft. Retract or go home.

Just completed 25 years of ownership of my small, 2WD, 4-banger, bench seat 5 speed manual Tacoma. I bought it 1 week after graduating high school. It was the cheapest truck on the lot. Anyway... a move across country, numerous girlfriends, then getting married, buying a house, 8 jobs later, a climb in the career…

“I don’t think your boyfriend is morally obligated to disclose that he’s HIV-positive to a casual sex partner”

The worst piece of advice: sure lie to your partner about having HIV.

Weigh in on what? It’s Florida; they’ll elect her and reelect her for the next 20 years. 

Hudson Hawk is a fun movie. That is all.

I want to hate this— OF COURSE I still want tactile buttons, dials, and switches— but if we’re going to HAVE to do the screen thing in cars, this is probably the most awesome way to do this.

Nick Offermans Whisky Drinking Yule Log is my go-to but always looking for more.

If your argument is that Jalopnik hasn’t changed their approach in nine years, then you have a very poor argument.

Hey man, it happens to the best of us! Cheers!

Good catch thanks...I dunno why I always get those two letters swapped in my head. 

Excellent insight, and I feel like a jackass for even mentioning this, but it’s BraunAbility, not BruanAbility. Since they have taken such good care of your family, maybe correct the spelling throughout the article? As always, thank you Tom for your unique perspective on the automotive world!

I’m absolutely shocked that this company is Italian and not Russian

Hmmm. Perhaps I’m too laissez faire, and certainly the actual sensors involved may show a more serious outcome for vehicle occupants, but superficially, those crash tests don’t look nearly as bad as plenty of others I’ve seen. Having lived most of my life driving vehicles *without* side airbags, it’s not as if I…

“They are like smaller versions of your pickups, with a solid, lowered brush guard.”

The Big dig was the most professional operation I’ve even heard of. The profession might have been graft not construction but it is still a masterclass in graft. I mean sure it took forever to build but think of the pockets that got lined.

Show me one of these pictures, please? And keep in mind, we’re not talking about the location of reverse here. You may want to look at that picture again.
