The truth is that the customer brought it in for engine service, which required that the car is test driven and run up through all the gears once the work was completed. They were *fully aware* of this before leaving the car and keys and are now trying to squeeze money out of the dealer using that video.

“....the 7 Series became bolted to the showroom floor the moment the new S-Class went on sale.” THIS is the best line on Jalopnik today!

I just did a reflash programming of my 7spd DCT (GIAC) and its a pretty huge improvement. Plus when I shift manually the downshift are far more *bang bang* instant.

Adam will be so happy that you didn’t spell his name “Corolla”.

Good point.

The U.S. Government is just worried China will develop technology that will allow them to cancel cable service in one < 30-minute call. Imagine the productivity advantage they’d gain!

The prostitutes that get murdered in that cab will be so lucky.

Sad to say this is most likely the death of Top Gear as well since May and Hammond said they wouldn't do the show without Clarkson.

The message is clear; DON'T FUCK WITH JALOPNIK

Historically the planet has gone through severe extremes. There was a time when the whole thing was an iceball (after the start of oxgen-producing life). There have been ice ages that have come and gone. But all of that was on a timescale of thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of years. There is a tremendous…

Careful... You're likely to get labelled a Right-wing nutbag with talk like that.

Hey. Would be great to include a wee bit on how the McNeil Cycle differs from the typical diesel cycle.

Not only that but it is felony vandalism due to the significant amount of damage he did, my van alone is close to $3000 in damages, hit and run, lewd conduct in public, resisting arrest, being drunk/high in public, there was pee near my van too. They can charge him with a lot of things.....The helis were out looking…

In this weeks episode, Jeremy punches a stupid man, James doesn't do anything and Richard doesn't do anything either!

Omg, seriously? He did not cut you off. You didn't even have to tap the brakes. Did he get close. Maayybee. Extremely close, as you put it? I can't express enough how much of an over exaggeration that is.

I don't think you realize how badly this reflects on you. He may have switched lanes too soon, but you were antagonistic and self-centered in your response. We can hear how loudly you slammed your hand against your horn - you clearly took his lane change as a personal insult against you. That driver may not have…

Yeah, I was under the impression that cutting someone off resulted in them being forced to react.

Not even a hood crumple. These Volvo's are tanks.

A $600 payment for a $2000 possible payout?
Sir, that is the worst lottery I have ever heard of.
