Also seen from space is Jalopnik’s hatred of Elon Musk. Nevermind that Tesla is an American car company with one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings; and employs a vast amount of real American workers and helps fuel the U.S. economy; and also helps reduce our dependence on foreign oil and lowers fossil fuel…

As someone who grew up lower-middle class in the 80's, I have a strong negative visceral reaction to cars of this shape.

Which model Mav are you looking at? I had a Lariat Lux with the sunroof. I know they’ve changed some of the configurations since ‘22. The best features of the Lariat at the time were the Adaptive Cruise, powered rear window, heated seats/steering wheel, remote start and the Push to Start button. The sunroof definitely…

Well at the risk of enraging a large subset of Jalopnik commenters, I sold the Maverick and bought a Tesla Model Y. I lost about 10% in utility but gained about 75% in fun. I really have nothing bad to say about the Maverick, it’s a really great truck, and fuel efficient even in the non-hybrid EcoBoost version, but…

Had a ‘22 Lariat AWD, great little truck for sure. I have twins who transitioned from car seats to boosters during the time I owned the vehicle. Both types of seats weren’t difficult to get in or out using the latch system, but there definitely wasn’t much room between them for a 3rd person to sit. Also the backs of…

Still in the grays. Awesome, thanks.

I’ve been out of the drone game for a few years now but it used to be that you only needed a license for commercial drone flying, and if the drone was less than half a pound (or so) you did’t need to register it either. Without knowing what model this guy was flying it’s possible that some of those charges don’t apply.

A lot of weird “hot takes” in the comments here. It’s a short film. It’s designed to show that Pauly can do the role and take it seriously. Of course it’s not a deep-dive into Richard Simmons’ pathos, there isn’t time for it. That’s what the full-length movie would be. I thought it was excellent. It gets to the heart…

The Jeep Grand Wagoneer at the Auto Show I went to was $111,225.00.

This is absolutely correct. There’s no way to tell which vehicle is more popular when your only numbers are what the manufacturer was able to produce. I say this as a proud Maverick owner, but I’m also not a cult member.

Anybody a fan of the movie LFO ? If it’s not a cult classic, it probably should be.

Speaking as someone who ordered a Maverick in July and just took delivery last week, I ordered it because I have a wife and 2 kids. As my kids get bigger, so do their toys. I absolutely love being able to trek the whole family and our bikes to the trails without wasting a ton of gas to do it. Also the springtime trips…

This grips me more than would a muddy old river or a reclining Buddah.

God help you if you get the Wrangler “Death Wobble” at highway speeds. I’ve owned a few of them myself, but fortunately am not an inexperienced driver so it only scared the shit out of me rather than kill me. Fun car but NOT for teens.

“where he spent about a minute-and-a-half before falling back to earth, which is the functional equivalent of having a layover at JFK and then claiming you’ve been to New York City.”

How about 4yrs on active duty, then a 2yr admin job (or sabbatical), then another 4 years on active duty, and then retirement with benefits. That’s a 10 year commitment and gives these people a chance to decompress halfway through. Just spitballing ideas to help stop unnecessary police violence.

This is almost as embarrassing as that news story of the guy who drove his whole family across the country just to find the park was closed, so he took a security guard hostage and forced the poor guy to ride all the rides with them. People are crazy.

I’d give that crash 5 stars too. 

You must learn the ways of the Force, if you’re to come with me to Alderaan.

Pretty sure this article was written in exchange for a free Snoo. As a parent of young twins myself, my bullshit detector is finely attuned. Nice try though, Conz.
