This is good Jalopnik. My problem with older cars is often how to keep the interior fresh. Everything often gets faded/worn over time. I like older Lexus’ especially the LX and GX but they seem to suffer the same fate. Have you done anything to keep the plastic surfaces and leather looking good?

I can’t wait for #gamergate to fedorably shout about all the ethics in their SJW purge efforts. The purple prose will be worse than that fucking 100 page speech in their shitty bible Atlas Shrugged.

Wait... are we discussing depreciation in terms of Hyundai vs BMW. Owning an out of warranty newer BMW is worse than earning negative interest on your bank account. Luxury brands outside of Lexus depreciate like crazy.

I think these guys may want to find a new thing to do - maybe it’s just me but they’re starting to come across as petty and condescending rather than ridiculous with wacky social commentary like the early Honda Accord stuff.

Mazda, wtf? You’re clearly on drugs that have impaired your cognitive abilities to such a severe degree that I’m not sure how you’re using an internet connected device to type such stupid things. Perhaps you have an interpreter or speech to text program that translates your near-incoherent babble to text. That’s…

Two adults and two kids... and you guys suggest a Miata, a CORRADO, and an Audi TT. Have you guys checked your work area for carbon monoxide leaks?

The TLX is a good choice. You can get a used Lexus IS-F for under $30k if you want to go nuts but it probably has too much power for a new driver. Avoid all of the Germans…

This is really fucking goofy. Also, why is there an announcer named Tuboware who looks like he’s wearing his only outfit that doesn’t contain ICP merch?

I’m voting for Someone-not-70+-years-old-please 2020

From what I can tell you did a great job putting this car back together with a lot of new parts giving it a much longer life. It looks great.

I can’t wait until your job replaces you with a robot.

they intercepted them heading to certain places but then those backdoors were later discovered. Aside from nearly 20 years ago when they had a backdoor in windows, I’ve seen no evidence that the NSA or CIA has many tendrils in industry putting in backdoors.

rambling conspiracy theories

no one does that. it’d end up on pastebin in 2 days. 99.9% of embedded devices aren’t even manufactured in the US and most of the people writing the firmware are on multinational teams.

It took a team of security researchers a year to get into the Jeep that was shown at Black Hat. The amount of resources it would take to have even a remotely comprehensive list of car hacking tools would be insane - beyond even the budget…

I don’t know you at all and I’ll give a Jalopniker the benefit of the doubt, but using the word “cuckold” immediately makes me think of basement dwellers with poor social skills and patchy beards. It’s like a compositional fedora.

this stuff is terrible for your lungs

this is actually a good way to grill wings... par boil them and then throw them on the grill to get a final char on them. You can basket steam them too before grilling if you don’t want to par boil. It works well, less rubbery than cooking all the way through on the grill.

i don’t agree. the only reason Drake’s diss worked is because of Drake’s delivery, how unexpected it was, how catchy it was over the beat. if it was just oldhead delivery with good lyrics over a weak beat - who cares. the only people who care about modern lyrical rappers are getting a lot older. there’s very little…

Historically, this is just daft and it’s a goofy/ignorant no true scotsman.
