I had a 1969 Datsun pickup and it was one of my favorite vehicles of all time. Compact, easy to drive, could haul a mountain if you could fit it in the box, and saint’s above actual tiedowns formed into the outside of the box. I hauled so much shit in that little pickup. Underpowered? Sure. But it would go down the…

These cases are more about service members getting their first large paychecks and going to the dealership just off base that specializes in removing them from their money.

WE are so tempted to sell. House across the street (same floor plan, smaller yard, not as nice condition) sold in 2 hours for $308k (purchased a year ago for $220K). We could make some serious cash, but then would have to spend more to get a new house....

I bought my old house on the edge of Inglewood for $480k back in June 2018.

Welcome to the fresh hell that is the DMV.

really? you’ve avoided flying due to the pandemic, but now you’ll sit in an airport bar without a mask drinking beer with people from all over the country - 50% of which have not been vaccinated. Probably the most high risk place in the airport.

Erik is worthy of mockery for many, many reasons. Not having watched a movie just doesn’t count. 

What he’s seeking does not exist, but he needs a Lexus or a Lexus.

The Chevy SS may be an answer, hear me out.

Here’s one problem: That cylinder has a check-valve that prevents, among other things, cavitation of the cylinder. Every time it hits a bump the check-valve allows fluid in. There is also an over-pressure relief valve, but the load on the cylinder has to be higher than typical loading to cause fluid to leave. So every…

Jalopnik can spend its money however it wants, so keep throwing it at Shilling, Orelove, and Hodge for all I care, though it would be nice if Jalopnik also threw it at people with fresher ideas on how to make an interesting car blog. I don’t begrudge Shilling, Orelove, and Hodge for taking the money, as they are paid…

Plot twist: that ranger died 27 years ago, and never left.

We know, Torch. We know.

You want that fragrance outside.

The whole purpose of the federal First Amendment (at least as it pertains to speech) is that it protects speech that some people might find offensive. If the First Amendment only protected innocuous speech that everyone agreed with, we wouldn’t need the “free speech” portion of the First Amendment.

“What’s funny about all of this is that totally plain-faced non-macho EVs out there, things like the Tesla Model X minivan, are total straight-line monsters an will roast most cars out there that would qualify as “real muscle.” But if you’re Dodge or Opel, what other options do you have but pump up your retro image?”

Also it makes it sellable here in Europe. It will cost like 20k less due drop in co2.

My thought would be anyone who lives out in the Outer Banks or in a small island town with low speed limits.  Ocracoke has an around town speed limit of 20mph a plug in is perfect since most beach houses already have a port for plugging in golf carts.  PHEV can just tool around town on electric alone 90% of the time. …
