Was looking for this comment. Touch screens are the goddamn worst and everyone who defends them doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Mustangs, Mopars and Camaros that you have to have your arm at a 60 degree or greater angle to put it on the window sill crack me up every time. At least it airs out your armpit hair!

Cars with standard single and double Din radios. I miss the days of upgrading the stock radio to a new Alpine unit with a detachable faceplate so it doesnt get stolen while i’m in Block Buster picking out a VHS to watch.

Nearly dead trend: 8ft pick up truck boxes.

You mean to tell me that a car that has been lauded around the world, won many awards including Car of The Year, and has been consistently in Top 10 lists in various respected car mags despite having debuted in ‘16 and is the basis for the Giulia and Stelvio QV is actually pretty good? You don’t say!

My thing is, are you really going to drive a car a million miles before replacing it? Probably not. And look at Matt Farah’s million mile Lexus and I wouldn’t say it’s reliable, more like bodge jobs all over and close to falling apart. All that really matters is that it’s reliable for as long as you care to own the…

Right, so, a couple things that I cannot believe still have to be explained to people.

Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes. That means that other outlets sign extensive non-disclosure agreements, agreeing to sit on information for days, weeks, sometimes months in advance, and not say a peep about it until a manufacturer’s marketing team says they can.…

A 10 year old car is a new car in my books! 

my take is that turning the wheel is effectively changing the toe. adding a device to manually change the toe is fine.

I still kind of think that’s Mercedes’ main goal here.  This may be an improvement that only really helps them at 1 track or factors out to like a couple hundredths of a second, but if one of their two close rivals shifts attention to understanding this instead of working to refine what they already have that’s a win…

I don’t think this is going to be confusing for the drivers. The natural position is steering wheel forward and toe-out.

I’m not NASCAR fan in any regard, but I always enjoyed Ray. He’s very knowledgeable, very personable, but still quite humble about himself.

Sucks. I do hope they keep their jobs though.

This Jalopnik site is so gummed up with ads, clickbait, shitting interface, it’s virtually unusable . . . 

Bowling Green! Never Forget the tragedy that never happened there!

Look, I agree street racing is for f*ckheads. It pisses me off to no end when I am tooling along at a decent 70 mph on the interstate and some small-dick blows by the left lane (or slaloming through lanes) at 110 in his whited-out 911 Turbo/GT-R/riced out front-wheel drive whatever-mobile with a massive spoiler and…

I have a Goldwing (GL1000) and an Alfa Spider, they are both fun, but they are very different experiences. I would say you would probably get a more similar experience between a Mazda Miata and a Mazda CX-5 with the windows rolled down than you would between a Miata and any motorcycle.

I’m exited to see what Sebastian can go with next year’s Alfa Romeo entry.
