I met Torch briefly when I bought my truck last year, he was nice enough to meet me in an empty gravel lot in an undisclosed location in North Carolina. I got to drive the Chang-Li and he got to whip the Beige Unicorn around the lot. It was exactly as awkward as I hoped it would be.
New-ish (came on board back in December) Jalopnik writer here! It’s certainly a bittersweet day that they are leaving us, but I am so excited to see what these two do next. I’m sure it’ll be great.

The Etna is gorgeous, and still a vision of the future I prefer over today’s over-styled, disjointed, angry, testosterone-dosing origami designs.

I think Volvo should have some credit for keeping wagons alive. Sure, they aren’t Playstation era graphics boxy, but they at least give them to us (even if they may require special order).
“Dems had all three branches under Obama and did fuck all about stuff like this.”
Thanks for the name drop. In order to participate in the off road and overland clubs and events that I do I have to keep my mouth shut and hope the organizers keep things from getting too political. It is funny how freely the people in those groups can spew right wing stuff and how if I say something even a bit…
Oh, there’s obviously nothing inclusive about political chants at a racing event. (And to be transparent: I myself no major beef with Joe).
My only use of the term “inclusive” in my story referred to why I’m not interested in expensive race vehicles, and why I instead ditched the race to drive a vehicle that more…
“Palm Springs hotel whose nightly rate is likely higher than the value of most of my Jeeps. Combined.”
I only mentioned it because it was an overwhelming theme, and to ignore it would be to ignore a key vibe of this event.
You should absolutely get into off-roading. KOH is just a snippet.
As an owner of a ‘67 VW Squareback since ‘78 I heartily endorse this idea!
Bearing in mind that’s the Daily Mail....
Can we stop calling these bozos “protesters” and call them what they are?
That’s so American. The solution is always guns.
American J-car wagons were just different enough - real bumpers and a necessary 2" or so lip that the bumper was higher than the load floor, thinner C-pillars without fake(?) vents - that I suspect they were part of the program from the start* and Holden had no part in them.
Not the only faker out there - the Holden Camira (Camira being an Aboriginal word meaning ‘wind’, and the car itself being based on the GM J body platform with a 1.6 or 2 litre Family II engine) also had a fake centre bumper section.
Is nobody going to mention just how well this prize-worthy piece of journalism actually tells the story? I mean, not only does it ruthlessly expose Citroen’s abject attempt to mislead the driving public that the GS had a functional chrome bumper, but it paints the picture. I got so engrossed I could swear I was in…
