“final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.”

I have to say I disagree with the inclusion of 30 Days of Night here. I loved the idea and it had all the parts needed for a great film, but in the end it just didn’t deliver. I’d love to see Ridley Scott or Joss Whedon take a stab at this.  

You can’t have more fun for less money. 

Ok first off, there are lots of ways to non-destructively test a pressure vessel. I’m guessing the department in question has never done so. Second, I know a few guys who did EOD for the US Army back in the day. None of them had ever used a pressure vessel to try to contain a blast. They usually used a disruptor…

Unless it is a Porsche. And a recall is issued. Then Jalopnik is going to ignore it, like they did this April.....

I like it...but not that much. These cars get a lot of shit, but they were decent drivers and one of the most reliable things to come out of GM form that era. Living in the rust belt, anything that rusts to death before the motor or transmission blows up is pretty good, and most of these fit that bill.  And don’t…

I actually got to visit this sub many years ago when it was in Seattle. Was a neglected piece of crap then, can’t imagine it has gotten any better sicne. I thnk their business plan went something like this:

Stickers are hiding rust and there is guaranteed to be a coolant leak. If you are lucky, it is just the intake manifold.....

Ok, you want 80's NASCAR style and some level of street cred and under 10k? How about a 80's Ford Thunderchicken? These are going for $3-4k in decent shape and could be had with a 5l v8 and a 5-speed transmission. Even if you spend 5K on a really nice on you have cash for upgrades. Most of the fox-body performance…

I have to say, given the choice, I would also turn people into dinosaurs. Fortunately for the population of earth I am far to lazy to acquire the necessary skills, so really more of a theoretical thing.

Sugar does NOT cause Diabetes asshole. There are AT LEAST two types of Diabetes. Some people have Diabetes because their immune system attacked and destroyed part of the pancreas. Some people have diabetes because their cells are resistant to insulin. The second type is very often linked to obesity, NOT consumption of…

Not sure I would classify this as “cops breaking the law”. This is a sufficiently grey are that some judges can’t even agree on it. Even the US supreme court was slit in its decision. I agree the DUI ticket was probably BS, loud music IS against the law. I wish the cops in my town would actually do something about it.

Funny you should mention that. OR not funny. It has happened. More than once, involving a turtle.

Similar thing happened to my dad years ago in Indiana. At that time the laws in the state were such that if the load hit the road before it hit your vehicle, then it was a “roadway hazard”. In this case, the idiot who lost their load got off without any consequences at all. The trooper told us that if the stuff had…

Except that such a law puts most people who work on their own cars out out the cold. Maybe a core exchange system, where you can’t sell a scrap converter unless you have a receipt for a new one?  Still screws over the people doing cat delete for a race car, but the no worse than the EPA is already screwing over such…

My mom had a red base model convertible with an automatic. It was a fun car.  But this is the car I always wanted it be.  NP.

Review of a pickup truck that is all about style over substance. Kinda a little too on the nose for Jalopnik these days.  I don’t really care what looks like, or how many “design elements” they worked in.  How big is the bed?  How much can it tow.  If these are not the most important questions to you, you probably…

My best friend in high school bought a ‘74 X 1/9 roller. We bled the brakes, loaded the engine and most of the interior into a borrowed van, then flat-towed it home.  We made it about a mile before the hydraulic brakes failed.  So my buddy was steering, I was working the hand brake, and the guy who was driving the van…

Excuse me Mr President, in the dictionary under redundant, it says “see redundant”.
