Bullshit. Even if you’re running the electric grid off of almost all fossil fuels, EVs are still cleaner as electric motors are around twice as efficient as ICEs. Not to mention, the electrical grid is a much more efficient method of transport than trucking gasoline to gas stations all over the country. As our…

I’m pretty sure almost all EV fans realize this. Nice try, though.

Jalopnik would have to use a randomizer to pick before each article whether the NP or CP car would be the “winning” selection. Otherwise, we’d all just pick whichever choice would force the author to buy the car, every time.

As a runner, the bikers on sidewalks thing really pisses me off. I can understand if a biker occasionally rides slowly and carefully on a sidewalk next to a busy/deadly street (especially if it’s a kid). But I’ve almost been hit by cyclists riding (at a high rate of speed) on sidewalks along roads with marked bike…

As a pedestrian/runner and occasional cyclist I try to be very courteous to cyclists when I drive, but the local cyclists around here make it very difficult. It’s a rarity when I see an adult cyclist (the adults behave worse than the kids) stop for a stop sign. They usually don’t even slow down. Idiots. They don’t…

The problem is, that also makes it hard to get Jordana Brewster back into the mix, unless they kill off Brian or they’re separated.

I think the muffler condom broke.

Go Boilers.

Indeed, that horrible center display is a war crime. With all the things the feds mandate on cars, I can’t believe they won’t mandate that at a gauge cluster with (at minimum) a speedometer and warning lights be placed in front of the driver.

I owned two 80s Rangers at various times, including a 4cyl manual with no power steering or brakes that had over 200,000 miles. I didn’t own that one for long.

Didn’t Tesla hire one of the interior design head honchos from Volvo a while back? I wonder when we’ll start seeing the results of that hire? I hope the Model 3 interior wasn’t his work (blech). Not that it really matters to me, as I can’t afford a Tesla.

Social nicety? More like (minor) social burden. The other phrases you mention have some merit and/or reason to exist. “Bless you” does not.

There are two schools of thought: 1) get a first car that’s easy to drive without stalling to build confidence or 2) get an underpowered shitbox that’s a nightmare to drive (like Mr. Tracy had) and then you can drive anything. I went the same route as David (due to necessity) and I’m not afraid to drive anything.

It’s fine, I didn’t take it that way.

I didn’t see the previous replies, or I would not have written mine.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the per car fee covers everyone in the car, so it would only be $70 total for a group as long as they’re all entering in the same vehicle. Regardless, while I’m not opposed to reasonable price increases, this jump in pricing is ridiculous.

Two things I’ve learned from owning a direct injection engine and browsing forums:

Yes it does.

Of course it will. Why wouldn’t it? They did that exact bait-and-switch with the last “WRX Concept”.

I see this a lot everywhere, including my home here in Las Vegas. It boggles my mind that people will stop of slow to almost a stop on a freaking freeway because they passed up their turn. It’s not worth it, people - go to the next exit and turn around. Your small amount of lost time is not worth someone else’s life.
