There’s no racetrack. I watched the live stream. There’s a drag strip on a runway, but no dedicated track. I’m not sure what Adam is talking about.

I think they mean Minnesota man who swung a golf club at some people and then punched a guy in the head because their political sign hurt his feefees, my dad though is also Minnesota man who just wants to go fish.

Old Campy bike stuff is just beautiful. Used to ride everywhere and since being bounced off of 2 cars, I've cut back. I have a Neuvo gruppo on an old Peugeot hanging on the wall of my office as art.

Super solid Jalopniking right here! I’ve got a couple Campy-equipped bikes, no wonder I liked the hinges.  Not sure of too many companies beyond Campagnolo that meld art with engineering so perfectly.

The Pontiac Fiero’s fuel door release is in the B pillar near where the top part of the seat belt mounts for the driver. It was placed there for the very short cable length to the fuel door (it’s completely flat and cannot be opened from the outside, likely for aesthetics). You might think “well why not just put it…

Oooooh! SMC-R’s are SO MUCH FUN.

I spend too much of my time driving this!

I read it in the Lieutenant Aldo Raine voice.

I swiped a set of factory Brembos off of an SL500 for like $100. I got them to fit up on my M3 with just a little custom bracketry and E46 rotors. Had to paint them red, obviously.

It’s like the population got used to open streets with no one else on the road, started driving recklessly, and never looked back.

I miss the ol’ Covid commute in Ohio- there were times where I’d only see 3-4 other cars during my hour long drive in the morning!

God can take the wheel, so long as the state has her keys.

Jason, there’s no need to go nuts over this. I know we’d all be screwed without the various types of fasteners in our cars, but this was hardly a riveting post. (Although, I will say that photo of the Spyker shows they really know how to nail an interior.) I realize you’re probably just trying to hit your quota so you…

Unibody construction is not the same thing as the exoskeleton idea Musk is talking about. Unibody construction is not a novel idea (even for trucks) and is not about reducing complexity. Nothing about unibody construction dictates the shape they chose for the Cybertruck.

These have wonky suspension geometry to make them handle like a much lower, lighter vehicle. You surely don’t mind dropping $2k on tires every 15k miles, right? Just a drop in the bucket as far as maintenance costs go on these things.

The question I’m seeing is, if most electric cars are already faster off the line than a Hellcat, then what is an electric “muscle car”?

I wouldn’t say it’s a must have, but game pass and the fast SSD are pretty nice. 

I’m THISCLOSE to putting my 2016 Cayman on the market. By all measurements, I can sell the car for what I paid for it or even a little bit more than that, three years after I bought it CPO, leaving me out only the routine maintenance costs (dear sweet God, Porsche routine maintenance costs...).

We have talked about the speed of Sonys SSD in detail a lot of times. It is faster in a specific scenario, loading a certain size of chunks, but not so many that its buffers and compression engine in the controller are overloaded. In that one scenario, it reaches its peak performance. Otherwise, it is just as fast as…

I work in international logistics, mainly taking things from China to the US. Been doing that for about 4 years now, and this is truly something I’ve never seen before. Prices for sea shipping are about 6 times higher than what we had pre-COVID, and to make things worse, shipping companies know that space is difficult…
