Despite all the teasing, and hinting from Toyota, we still have yet to see the brand-new, BMW-saturated, 2020 Toyota Supra underneath all that dazzle camouflage. A user named Supra93 on the SupraMKV forum has solved this problem for us, however, with the first un-camo’d picture of the face of the new Supra, caught…

Our very overworked video team has finally gotten around to editing all the video taken this summer when I went on the big Airhead Treffen, a shared excuse for air-cooled Volkswagen owners all over to drive around and get together in one place and geek the fuck out over air-cooled VWs. That’s why you’ve been seeing…

When you’re selling your car, there’s nothing wrong with picking—perhaps even curating—the pictures you use to best display the vehicle you’re selling. That’s what I like so much about this Facebook Marketplace ad from a guy selling his 1985 El Camino. Yes, the in main picture of the car it’s currently on fire, but…

It’s a crazy world out there, and, as gearheads, we find ourselves on the streets more than most, since that’s the natural habitat of cars. The street is also where street drugs come from, so it only makes sense that a whole sub-category of street drugs would arise with the innocent and vulnerable car-lover in their…

I’m not sure if I can remember the last time a new truck launch has given us so much fun. The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD has done it, though, with that perfect combination of baffling design and unhinged bravado. We thought the High Country edition would be a bit better, and I suppose it was. Until I looked at the…

This is really, really sad, I think. A Jalopnik reader and Indiana resident named Cory is now the proud owner of an MG Midget he’s restoring, and wanted to get it titled and all the paperwork in order with the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Unfortunately he ran into a little complication: the Indiana BMV seems to…

I know we tend to think that robotically-driven cars are a very recent phenomenon, but the truth is that people have been imagining the consequences of AVs since the turn of the last century. In fact, there’s at least one film that addresses the issues head-on, Walter R. Booth’s 1911 film, The Automatic Motorist. All…

I’ve attempted to watch rockets launch from Vandenburg Air Force Base a few times when I was in California, and the thing I remember most about it was just how far away the official viewing areas were. The rocket is a tiny spike in the distance, and it’s like that for many valid safety reasons. At the Baikonur…

We’ve been talking a lot about the brutality and madness of modern truck design here this week, so when what is in many ways the polar opposite of such design pops up on Craigslist, I suppose it’s my duty to make you aware. So that’s what I’m doing. If you want the antimatter to modern truck design’s matter, here it is

Earlier this year, I went to the Airhead Parts Treffen, basically an excuse to gather up as many old air-cooled Volkswagens as possible and drive them around. We talked to some people about their cars along the way, like this proud owner of a genuinely bonkers 1957 Beetle that’s been heavily modified to be, oh, a bit…

See that vehicle up there? It’s not a particularly common design, at least not here in America, but I think from the standpoint of utility, flexibility, usefulness, and general, overall adaptability, it may be one of the best vehicular designs ever penned by the hand of man. I love little half-van/half-truck…

I feel like this golden-hued image of German-market Fords, Dalmatian ownership, hinted-at casual sex, and boating is someone’s very very specific and particular idea of heaven.

Ever since there have been station wagons and other vehicles with long, open cargo areas, people have been packing them via the somewhat undignified process of crawling inside them like how I imagine a vet attending to an elephant’s hemorrhoids must do things. Ford, it seems, has decided to address this problem…

Whether you realize it or not, the fact is that at this very moment, in the year of Our Great Sky-Trucker 2018, there is something powerful and sinister happening in the world of truck grille design. Truck grilles are growing at alarming rates, and becoming more and more intricate, Baroque, and confrontational. The…

I believe the biggest hole in the American automotive market is the lack of a genuinely small, useful pickup truck. Even the trucks that pass for small on the market today, like the Chevy Colorado or the Toyota Tacoma, really aren’t all that small. Back in 2015, though, Hyundai showed a concept truck at the Detroit…

This week’s Meh Car Monday is a little bit different than most because the car we’re talking about didn’t have to be meh, but powerful and insidious decisions—especially styling decisions—doomed this beast to a short, sad life of meh-sery. This is the cautionary tale of the Kia Borrego.

We all know that sedans are going through some hard times right now, with GM just killing off six of its sedans because, let’s face it, fewer and fewer people want to buy them. But maybe the problem isn’t sedans themselves, it’s that a new take on the sedan is needed, and maybe, just maybe, that new take has to come…

Happy Monday! The first thing I need from you this week is to help sort out the relationship between that dog, woman, and man. Is the man yelling sternly at the dog or the woman? Or both? Did she leave him for Rags, there? There’s a lot to unpack here.

The recent reports that Elon Musk told his employees that the $35,000 Model 3 would cost $38,000 to build made me realize some things: first, -$3,000 is a pretty crappy profit margin, and second, Tesla needs some friends. Specifically, they need some friends who build lots of good cars yet have no clear plans to build…

Is there anything better than a really mysterious, baffling car? No, there isn’t. Every time you think there’s nothing left to learn about the rich tapestry of automobilia, something like this sleek lovely little whatever drives up, honks, and lets you know how wrong you are. So what is this thing? I’ll give you a…
