Quicksand is no joke, everyone got warned about it as kids but then stopped thinking it was a threat. Back in 2006, I went to the World Cup in Germany for my mid tour leave from an Afghanistan deployment. On the way back from leave, you fly into Kuwait and it was customary that you spend a week or so there before…

No, like the article says, the problem is all 3 involved components. 

“Prius is a good car.” It isnt even a car, its a transportation appliance. 

Not a cheap Subaru. Sure, theyll drive through it just fine, right up until a headgasket blows. Struggling through snow is a million times better than getting stranded somewhere because your car died. Reliability is key, and shady cheap Subarus are not that.

Also a key feature on any winter car is Bond-esque headlight…

Youre not wrong, but considering the hideous monstrosities Mansory has been murdering peoples eyeballs with in the past, fuck them too. 

And here I thought Jalopnik would be freed from the shackles of the texanist agenda when Patrick George left. Damn you, Formula One!

STAY OUT OF MALIBU, FARAH. STAY OUT MALIBU, DEADBEAT. Keep your ugly fuckin gold brickin ass out of their beachfront community. 

About 15 years ago, my brother decided to drive from MN to Iowa for a NASCAR race. On the way back, he swore he wasnt over revving his Mazda3, which is highly unlikely after going to a race, and a connecting rod snapped and shot through the side of the crank case. A 12 pack of beer, a pirated Haynes manual, and a…

Probably that time in high school I told a friend who was driving his full size Chevy Blazer “That hill over there looks like a sick jump. You could totally get this thing airborne.” I was right, but it was definitely bad advice. Bumper hit the ground first, and shoved the fenders back a bit into the door and…

Wow, there sure are a lot of racist shitbags in the comments section of this one. 

The funny thing is, the i3 actually has a bigger gas tank than it uh, has. They reduced it via software, because in order to count as an EV with a range extender in the US, its range extender had to have less than 2 gallons of gas. So the software stops the fuel pump from working at 1.9 gallons, even though there is…

Having grown up in a rural area, I appreciate the hell out of what this is. Everybody had a shitty dirtbike growing up, and youd have to spend every fall winterizing the bikes and every spring swearing at the carbs until the bike would start, and then spend all summer annoying the hell out of everyone in the area with…

Certainly looks better than Battlefield 2042, where they think clouds turn everything blue. But really, the first person view imparting a sense of speed really sells it a lot. I feel like games have lost so much immersion with the wholesale shift to 3rd person games over the past decade. Just look what happens when…

BMWs notion that they were going after Tesla with the i3 is insane. They were up against the Leaf, Volt, and Bolt. Most people with BMW money didnt want a gussied up Leaf, they wanted an electric 3/5/7/x. Tesla gave them some semblance of that, BMW didnt. Im seeing a lot more interest in used i3s though. Knock the i3s…

Oh hey, its a scab

It is beautiful. And pshaw to the naysayers, I say. PSHAW!  Yes, the margin of error on the tail lights is huge, but theyre just a quick reference as you can look at the screen inside the truck for accurate weight information. Quick references make life worth living. 

Since this was a Chrysler Prowler, it was after Plymouth died in 2001, and the high output version of the 4.7 was available in 2002 model year Grand Cherokees. Yes, horsepower was only marginally higher at 265, but torque was way higher at 330 lb/ft compared to 250 for the V6, and a much wider power curve. Combined…

The car market is so effing effed right now, the only right answer is a Fiat 500 Abarth to put a smile on your face until things calm down.

This is definitely one of those situations where Im not going to take a single damned thing the cops say as truth until theres at least 500 video angles corroborating it. GSP are straight up scum. 

What a wild and wacky world we live in that the top 3 answers would be Hyundais/Kias, and theyd be right answers.
