My appologies; 3.5 years get’s you way beyond what anyone should expect for the life of a complicated, engineered vehicle.  

Skip-shift from 1st to 3rd: “I am growing convinced that we will never get consumer driverless cars, just delivery bots hogging the roads.”

I’ve tried and I just can’t get my head wrapped around a car-enthusiast’s longing for drverless cars. This is espeically confusing when that longing is quickly followed up by this…

That’s a lot of ugly for a lot of money.  It’s a shame.  Those color choices are pretty amazing and would look great on a good looking BMW 3-series.  

Yes, they are.

I have my Dad’s 1997 F-250 Powerstroke OBS with a 5-speed ZF S5-47. I went with him in the winter of 96 to pick it up from the dealer (he had special ordered it like we all should have been to ensure better selection from car companies/dealers). It’s basically all original, save for a respray of the 1997 version of…

1st: This sort of feels like a reap what you sow moment. As a general matter, people are constantly clamoring for more and more tech in things that truly don’t need it and doing so with real money and real desire. This is what you get when companies continuously try to ‘out-tech’ on another to get your money. The…

That doesn’t count.  It’s only conservative republicans causing this problem.  Move along.  

Not all heroes wear capes.

They are truly a great car brand. Definitely a nicer design and use of interoir materials than the comparable brands (Honda/Toyota/Hyundai).

Having lived in VA, I would say ANY law that helps reduce police pulling people over is a good thing.

Well that’s the problem isn’t it. There are enough people bought into this idiotic idea that if you don’t buy something <2 years old, you are ‘way behind’. No one considers the waste and environmental impact in throwing away something perfectly good to have the latest and greatest. This is true for tons of products,…

I came here to say this, well duh!

Even with a million tries, I would have never guessed it would be a crossover.

modus operandi

I guess it’s been a minute since I’ve looked at these, but when and why did Jalopnik feel it that it needed to change from the name of the series from ‘Nice Price or Crack Pipe’?

I agree.  The problem is that people are dumb or willfully ignorant. They complain when a platform grows ‘old’ but then bitch when features or options die with new platforms. It’s as if people don’t underestand how resource intensive it is to develop a new complex product from scratch.

I’m just relieved your favorite didn’t turn out to be some MotoMetal bro-dozer wheel...

Civil asset forfeiture and no-knock warrants are two ‘tools’ of law-enforcement that no sane person can justify and our constitution more or less prohibits. It’s infuriating that we even have to discuss it.

I have zero experience as a writer, but am exvcellent at typos.

Shilling cares becuase it gives him something else to be mad about or critical of from his high-throne.
