I expect better from Jalopnik. A few more headlines like this and I'll have to go find other ways to avoid work during my day. I use ad blockers anyway, so no big loss for Gawker.

To be fair, a well done filet is a well done filet, it's not the same as another cut well done. Many people who like well done steak prefer the filet due to the lack of any real gristle or fat streaks. It lends itself to over-cooking better than most cuts for this very reason.
The cheese and iced wine are weird,…

I like how you stuck an actual picture of the i3 in there. Nice foreshadowing. When's the rest of them due out?

GT-R, get it back down to C7 price points.

Who parked a Z8 on the Jaguar platform?

I used to read Automobile, and you guys have a lot of that ground covered well. But I also last had a paid subscription to Hemming's Sports & Exotic. I think you could do better (and you're not on "zero" now which is better than most) at covering the nearer classics that people are just starting to afford and/or…

I've always been bothered by the cars in that ad being out of scale to one another. I have it in print somewhere...

Spotted a Ram 1500 (reasonably tasteful, but still not quite US-stock in appearance) in downtown Frankfurt in early '12. It still looked to have some real work purpose in life (not just a Bro-Lastwagen.) But I can't imagine navigating some of those city streets with that thing. I daily drive a 2500 longbed in rural…

From that Mustang Cobra post earlier today it looks like the Mustang Cobra is a prime choice for guys who want to hoon a Mustang Cobra when they retire. Mustang Cobra.

We have always been at war with Westasia. War is Peace.

Gasoline. I would be in the market for a Tesla, but I live 90 miles outside of the nearest major metropolitan area, and would want to use a fuel efficient luxury car for that commute (nice dinners, ballgames, visiting friends in town, etc.) My other vehicles (mostly trucks and a gas guzzling sportscar) are less suited…

I used the local used-car lots as my go-to timewaster in my teens/20's. Always got a lot of attention. But they were the used lots, so "white guy in suburbs" can usually afford some kinda used car in most salesman's estimation. Plus this was the mid/late 90's, so different times from today. One old guy who ran the…

I want to be a fan of Dr.NDT but he continues to make broad statements about applied physics that, while technically correct, are myopic to the point of absurdity. Theorists are valuable, but it's the applied sciences that will inspire the next generation of STEM workers. You turn off more than you inspire when…

They often have traffic stops for these trains at the railyard next to MKC. Though 737's are a very rare site at that field it's still a neat juxtaposition. Not sure if there's a good angle for a photograph though (opposite sides of a highway on a long skinny stretch of river bottom land.)

the light in this pic is beautiful.

I recently gave a talk about the Volkswagen Brasilia at Los Angeles' Hammer Museum, because a well-worn Brasilia was a key component in an installation piece from artist Clarissa Tossin.

It might be 2014, but Fjord's statement was forward looking. "I'll be sad when" ... when.

I'm a business flyer who still has some level of discretion when it comes to choosing my flight. Nothing crazy, no business class (even on long hauls) but if we're talking about a couple hundred bucks between the cheapest flight and the flight I want to take, I can (and often do) make that call. Usually to get "up" to…

The final argument is that dealerships take care of all the huge amounts of ass-pain paperwork involved in buying a car. Okay, sure, that's true, but does NADA really expect anyone to believe an automaker-run car-a-teria isn't going to do this as well?
