Specifically Michiganders, who are not much more than petulant children with fully-grown adult bodies.

I think I may have relayed this story to you at the Jalopnik meet-up in Austin, but I once owned a pink car. The problem was, on account of being colorblind, I didn’t know it for three months.

I love stories like these. Here is a purple near worthless W203 with a bunch of ‘shady’ aftermarket labels and mods. Who wants this piece of... wait a minute. Oh, it was specially built for the former head of AMG and RENNTech North America? Nice. Not quick by today’s standards but awesome all the same.

I think he needs something that can stay fresh, by literally changing to suit the day’s current needs. Sedan, convertible, wagon? The Pulsar NX is all these things, and you will never see another one coming your way. On this budget, you could probably find the one remaining one with less than 50,000 miles and restore…

Rearview mirror was a mandate by the Deuce so team Ferrari could see the shit-eating grin of the GT40 driver as they quickly pulled away.

But now that our kids are a bit older my wife doesn’t…

High capacity for drama, here, though watt else is new

As far as current news goes, you could find worse.

I found it revolting.

I got a charge from reading your comment.

This just in: Austrian firefighters not shocked by Tesla crash resulting in fire.

Pardon me, but this entire digression borders on insane. Here’s a handy guide for anyone who is debating whether they should coast downhill or leave their car in gear

His point about non-linear throttles is accurate, but not really relevant. Almost all new cars use throttle by wire and the ECU can very easily linearize the throttle response or otherwise tailor it to however they want it to respond. Also, even older cable actuated throttles had an eccentric that would at least slow…
