As one of Jalopnik’s resident former cabbies, let me just say with emphasis, “FUCK THIS GUY!”

Even before that! In New York and some other Northeastern states that had old growth forest, the early 19th century featured wood-paved turnpikes and plank roads, privately built. State legislation was needed to establish the road franchises and set up the private companies - and these laws and the private companies…

The government should not require all cars have airbags, they should require cars to pass safety tests with any means necessary and not focus on specific safety devices cars must have.

Dude! Easy Reader!

Yeah, when is the first Mickey Mouse short supposed to enter public domain again? Because that year, you can be sure copyright term will be extended. Like they were last time.

I think Tura Satana would have a word with Mr. Herman about stealing her bit, if she were still with us.

Finally, the external facing claymores we’ve been asking for.

Too bad most Americans don’t care to know the difference between FWD and RWD. The Aussies actually give a shit, so they get nice things.

Monte Carlo’s all about picking the best tires for conditions that change drastically within a single stage, let alone storms that may brew up between services; I don’t think he (or many other cars) were on the ‘best’ - rather than ‘right’ - tires for that stretch of road. Kubica did manage to help keep Evans on the…

I’m up here in Quebec all like:

Let’s just address the elephant in the room here: those trikes.

I’ve always had an unhealthy love for big, B-pillar-less 4-doors.

Assuming a right-side drive country, if there is room in the right lane, you should be in the right lane. In many locations, trucks cannot use the left-most lane so they cannot pass you. What’s more, if there are more cars behind the car coming up to you, they may need to pass in the left lane as well... so you’re…
