It’s not racism though. It’s classism. It’s culturalism.

Ok this is a load of rubbish. You can, if you try hard enough assign racism to anything. You don’t like dirty cars? You’re a racist because poor people don’t wash their cars as much and a lot of blacks are poor, therefore, racism.

It’s not my preferred food attitude, but “no culture” is a bit too glib for me a description. But as a country obsessed with roots but even more obsessed with defining itself as self-made, you’re right that we’ve forgotten the roots of our food.

If you put everyone in the US who is social distancing in line to buy a new manual hot hatch; it would stretch maybe a city block or so.

To be fair, that is factory paint on the Viper.

Imagine being so jealous of other people amassing success, that you hope for their place to burn to the ground.

Starred you because I’ve never understood unmarked police cars used for traffic stops. The whole point is safety right? So what do speeding people do when they see marked police cars?  That’s right, slow down.  Unmarked police cars doing traffic stops is about money, pure and simple.

I mean the founder of the company had no problem selling vehicles to Nazis

That’s not going to be a popular opinion around here even if it is a fact.

Times are a changin. Used to be when someone(s) blocked the path of your vehicle and others started to hammer the windows and open the doors, they were going to rob you and beat the crap out of you, if you are lucky.

Came here to say this. If I’m driving around and my vehicle is suddenly surrounded by protesters who try to break in my window (to be confirmed but surely looks this way in the video and is the common theme across the country) you’re damn right I’m flooring it regardless of who or what is in front of me.  That just

So someone jumps in front of your vehicle to stop you with their bicycle and their body while someone else tries to break out your windows (which you can clearly see in the video) and you don’t think flooring it and getting out of there is a good idea? I’m sorry he hit someone, but it’s completely understandable.

“The Bronco was in development long before Trump started mishandling a global pandemic.”

Although I am surely not the first to comment about this... There is a place on Kinja for political spin and bias, and it isn’t Jalopnik. I had a conversation over the weekend with 4 friends who are all car guys, and we all agreed that the content on Jalopnik is straying further and further from what we want to read.

It’s funny, the article goes on at length about all the useful features and practicality, yet labels it Chrysler’s worst ever platform. Truth is the average person actually just needs a cheap appliance, not an engineered to the nth degree masterpiece.

Needles also convey rate of change much better to our brains. It’s pretty difficult to judge the rate  of numerals increasing but analog indicators are pretty easy

Oh come on. These have aged surprisingly well. It might be because everything today has to look outlandish to stand apart.

1st Gear: We get it. Jalopnik hates the current Silverado, hates big pickup trucks, doesn’t much like the people who buy them, and doesn’t like US automakers either.
