Wait the Rogue is top 5!? Who knew this? The Rogue? By Nissan?

Have you driven a Miata? or any small sports car? Let me just say, they’re a hell of a package.

Do you like driving? Have you driven one? What do you think of “slow car fast”?

First: PRAISE THE AUTO GODS. Jalops rejoice, our time has come. We shall purchase our Miatas and Fiatas and save us all. We aren’t the heroes you want, we are the heroes you need.

A side effect of this attitude is that high schools are seen as nothing more than college prep, and as such, they focus heavily on the skills that will help kids score highly on standardized tests. That means cancelling shop classes to divert funding. That means that kids who have real mechanical aptitude don’t get

Society is all about sending kids to college. Blue collar work is thought to be for those who can’t hack it in college - in other words, the “dumb kids.” Nothing can be further from the truth, especially these days when you have to be a computer technician as well as a traditional “mechanic.” But college is The One

Exactly, trade school educations can be a far more profitable investment than college; you can make six figures with less initial cost than a batchelors’ degree.

Neutral: Because the US Education system needs an enema. We put so much emphasis on “general education” through all of high school (and usually the first two years of college) that it takes too long for people to learn their own skills and passions. I say we push for more shop/tech classes in high school, emphasize

I think removing the front passenger seat is brilliant. I’d imagine it’s much more comfortable for your passenger to be able to stretch out his or her legs, and it maybe marginally safer in the event of a collision.

As an EE, I think you guys really need to reconsider putting up these schematics. This shit is too easy to make. We love details on Jalop, but lets not spread this information around on the internet more than it needs to be. Find that moral compass and apply that to your journalistic integrity please. Thank you

I wonder how much longer it will be until simplicity becomes fashionable again.

“Larson then went on to say he feels like he’s “in the same category” as Mario Andretti, A.J. Foyt and Tony Stewart.”

Lets not forget that he has a Rolex 24 win and that’s the biggest road racing event you can win on this continent.

“According to Motorsport, team owner Chip Ganassi limits Larson to 25 dirt races a year outside of NASCAR’s top three series, which only have one dirt race date, in the Camping World Truck Series, between them.” 

Kyle Larson is a great racer and one of the few now who had his beginnings in dirt track, where NASCAR is looking to make a resurgence in. Usually a very humble guy in interviews and in person, so I’m surprised he’s being a braggart. But, it wouldnt be NASCAR without some shame-less self promotion and jaw-jacking

I like Kyle Larson a lot, and I do think he’s a generational talent, with the potential to win a Cup Championship as early as this year.

When the garage finally contacts them it will probably be to provide them with an exorbitant bill for 2+ months of parking.

And I’d be pushing pretty hard to get them to come out. Sure, sending a photo and an estimate might be fine for a fender bender, but the insurance company needs to send a damn adjuster out for this one. I think I’d be sending some strongly worded letters about non-performance. Even paying a law firm a few hundred

I’d start sending Fordec Realty bills for my car. Insurance, excise tax, and a fat daily rental fee - the kind of fee your wireless provider charges when you venture outside your plan. Something to the order of a few hundred dollars a DAY. Are the charges enforceable? Eh, maybe. The collapse wasn’t an act of God,
