No one should be paying 42k for a fucking Civic, that is right there with the 42k MINI for absurdity.

EDIT: Your name reminds me, if you’re going to entertain expensive and possibly unreliable, why not an ALFA Romeo Giulia? Talk about a gorgeous car with good dynamics; although, the lack of a manual is a chink in the…

Gas prices surging won’t mitigate the obsession with SUV/CUVs — if we see another recession with gas prices soaring, people will swivel to electric SUV/CUV options. OPEC has to play it careful as they can’t muscle the market like in years past, there is an alternative now, even if not necessary palatable to the…

STOCK CAR = !Stock car

Mazda factory oil (0w20 with Moly), available at all official dealerships, is Idemitsu.

I love the Cooper JCW, it fels like a Golf GTI, with a little more retro-silyl charm, and an odd but beautiful interior. Their durability (BMW done on the cheap) concerns me, and overall their drive-style was more stately BMW than ravenous Abarth. It was a good car to drive, but not fun, just good.

I still seriously…

I’m a big fan of ‘choice’, but we are seeing an unhealthy swath of it. We have so many car options, and yet they all cater to the same basic categories with little more than styling changes to differentiate, instead of opening up more niche options or taking drastic style/design paths — the like we saw in the late…

The car is in excellent shape for the mileage. If something major is going to fail on a BMW, it’ll happen in the first 100k — a car that has seen a lot of miles (assuming it was maintained) will likely be in better shape than an occasionally ran, often neglected one. The assumption on maintenance would depend upon…

Paying your bills and being a responsible member of society is not anti-cool. What you do outside of your responsibilities, like riding all over the state on your motorcycle, may better dictate the scale of cool.

Can’t disguise those eyebrows.

Does Hertz still rent manual trans models, or any Hertz special trims any (like the Hertz GT-H Mustangs)?

Can confirm. I did two burnouts in a Hemi Charger, drove it in a sporting way but wasn't abusive beyond the burnouts. I actually came back so pleased with how it drove, I asked if I could buy it when it comes out of cycle, but they already had a buyer, with us as the last renters.

The 2019 Dodge Charger R/T’s are going to be a fantastic value as they come out of fleet rotation. They all come with the SRR bodywork as stock, the SRT exhaust, and have a comfortable 390hp from the factory. Sure some of use may pine for a 485hp SRT/392 car, or even higher to the hellraising category, but if you…

While there is an anthropomorphic component to car design, and few design have succeeded without it, that isnt my concern here.

Yea, I have the red, but would love to find a Mariner Blue one. I’ve picked up a couple FD’s and one FB as well. Still haven’t seen the 10AE FC model in the wild yet.

Both energy-source technologies are very old, however the amount of engineering, research, and development spent per year on each has been a recent surge of sorts. I haven’t found numbers but I’d imagine hydrogen had a rise and fall that was earlier in phase to the recent push of EV development, by about ten years.

“It’s incredibly ironic that the head of a company making an electric car that has captured the hearts of the entire Jalopnik staff thinks nobody wants electric cars.”

David is right, and by that I mean the Buick of course!
