I’ve worked in dealerships for most of the past ten years, and what time wasn’t spent in dealerships was spent at a press fleet management company. I grew to hate auto journalists, met a couple Jalopnik writers, including Wes Siler, who was one of few journalists that were actually pleasant to deal with. A couple

You can’t reason with crazy.

My dad too. Spent his whole life trying to deal with his toxic family until he finally went to 12-step groups and they told him he didn’t have to let other people hurt him. Now he’s lonely and will never be very happy thanks to the damaged inflicted by those monsters for 50+ years... but there won’t be any new pain.

What a lot of non-car people and non-Californians don’t understand about the California smog check is that the problem is mostly not the sniffer test.
Virtually any car can pass a sniffer with high quality catalytic converters. Ensuring that your fuel system is sealed, and evaporative emissions are controlled is pretty

And Californians with old or modified cars will continue doing what they have always done: paying a less-than-reputable guy a few hundred in cash to “pass” their car under the table. It’s the only tried and true method to circumvent the oppressive, impractical bullshit that is CARB, because god knows those cars will

I thought, oh Group B! then I remembered that I was born 24 years ago. Time man, time moves quick.

I'm happy to read that our german discipline concerning "overtaking on the left" is mentioned in the article. I sadly see way too many non-germans, especially americans (soldiers stationed here) and british drivers who overtake from wherever they want and it drives me insane. You are in a different country, so stick

My wife works at a Texas charter school, and worked previously at a Harmony Charter School, which is one name of the group of schools owned by the exiled Turkish Imam mentioned. I believe they went under the name of the Cosmos Foundation, but have since changed it due to their various problems.

No the car fron Wangan Midnight had a l28et

A special shout-out to the Michael Mann-influenced The Way of the Gun by Christopher McQuarrie (screenwriter of The Usual Suspects and director of the upcoming Mission: Impossible 5). The obvious influence is in the tactical knowledge, how the characters do not waste bullets and use cover properly. The entire film is

The bad thing is, you hear little kids (squeakers) all the time in GTA5 Online. They have no business playing the game at all, yet their parents or friends like them play it.

See, I can do it too:

It's happening . . .

Those of us who live in the north just understand this to be normal winter driving.

DANGEROUS TRICKS!!!!

A half decade's advertising budget couldn't buy the Volvo love this one image has.
