I have commented before that classy analog, even watch-like, gauges will come back in at the top of the market as a reaction to boring screens. Sure as shit, the new Bugatti does that and takes it to 11 with their new gauge cluster. Give me the classic 5 gauge layout any day over this. Ugly fins, hybrid, no manual,…

My jets aren’t hot so no need to cool them. My response stands- Volvo had software issues and did the right thing whereas Tesla is testing their software and hardware on the unsuspecting public. Volvo operates as a traditional car manufacturer (and may have some liabilities associated with that culture in regards to…

And when Tesla puts out a shitty product, releases software that essentially is being beta tested on the real world, or has myriad other quality control issues, you get a text from moron Elon when he damn well feels like responding that doesn’t nothing to fix the issues or deal with disgruntled customers. And he banks…

The GOP is happily passing laws right here in the US to encourage child labor.

Definitely have not been on the pickup truck owners forums. I am speaking from my own interactions with truck guys (admittedly limited- I am a north Jersey guy living in the NYC area so this comes more from my time in college 25 years ago meeting guys from across the nation who all had certain truck beliefs). But…

I think it’s more about pick up truck loyalty. You’re a Chevy guy, a Dodge guy, or a Ford guy. You would never complain about your truck because that would be going against the cult. If F150 or Silverado were their own brand they would also be at the top of the rankings because the owners refuse to believe that they…

Sigh.

Sad story. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with brainy puns.

Well, there is an assumption, for some reason, that if you are here on Jalopnik you have an appreciation for cars that are basically built as moving works of art and technology.  

I would love to see this but we also cry about the police state in this country, illegal stops, property seizure by shitty police departments basically stealing from people, etc. The kid has to be arrested and convicted. Unless there is some nuisance law that may be on the books in Seattle, you have to let the justice…

Here is a video of a black man on the street filming a traffic stop. The other cops shoved him then tried to do the stupid assertive dominance thing that bullies in high school do. He gets taken down and arrested. For filming. A constitutionally protected right. Cuz he’s black. Don’t be so obtuse. 

997.2 is peak 911. I really tried to talk myself into one before deciding on a 981 S for my first Porsche (totaled by Hurricane Ida flooding RIP) since I knew I wanted to track it as much as I could. I still scroll for 997.2 Carrera 4S cabs though (if not my ONLY I would go cab). 

A lightly used unicorn would be good too. I think I have seen 3-4 Artereons in the wild. Ever. 

Thank you!

Is this V6 the long running Pentastar V6? If so, that thing has been around forever and has terrible power numbers given its displacement and number of cylinders. I thought Stellantis was using a turbo inline 6 as its latest and greatest? 

I drive my GT4 to many race tracks as far as 4.5 hours away. Cruise control is fine. Adaptive cruise control sucks. 

If you can give me an adaptive cruise control that allows me to still change lanes to weave through traffic without the car starting to slow down 200 feet form the next one, I will use it. But no one does so I will keep loving my “dumb” cruise control on my GT4 while cursing the terrible one on my Range Rover and my…

As a Jersey guy, yes we have some GTL types who wear cologne to a gym. 

There might have been 175 passengers on board. 12% of Americans are black so say 21 black people, half of whom are men. So out of 11 black men on a plane, 8 unrelated black male travelers were removed for body odor issues? Highly suspect. If it was an international flight to some countries where I know the use of…

I wasn’t going as far back as air cooled, but despite owning a 981 GT4 that I will keep forever, it would never be my only car. However, I could make a 997.2 Carrera 4S my only car for life.
