Gut-wrechingly ugly =/= stylish

Exactly. I don’t know why this is so hard for people to understand.

Right. That’s why you folks have to invent problems like this one. You don’t have enough real ones to put the world into some kind of reasonable perspective.

Why would he do that when he has plenty of room in his own driveway, which he owns and pays no additional cost for?

I mean clearly the mailbox thing is supposed to be a trailer shaped middle finger, but it’s one I wholly endorse. The way I look at it is this: the moment they can tell him he can’t do that, which on the surface of it is pretty innocuous, what’s the next thing they tell someone they can’t do? Park their lifted truck…

If this guy has the funds to have a racing hobby, then he probably has the funds to get a sweet-ass Iron Maiden album cover airbrushed on the side of that trailer. That’d show those stuck-up neighbors.

but he has every right to? he (probably purposely) lives in a neighborhood with no HOA for the very reason of being able to do this. it’s a trailer.

I think it is on the rise! I miss my old 95 Classic LWB!

Doug, please tell me that because the Defender commands such a premium price tag, that the value of my 92 Range Rover County is on the rise!

The carbon footprint of creating an entirely new car from raw materials is probably worse than whatever you're currently driving. (Unless you're driving a school bus everywhere! :-P )

You’d have to drive your new car several hundred thousand miles before its carbon footprint breaks even with the old clunker. There’s a carbon cost involved with producing the new car, so it’s almost always more Eco-friendly to just stick with the clunker and thus prevent the new car from being built in the first…

Except for all the environmental costs of materials and production that went into producing your new vehicle far exceed the emissions of just keeping the old one around.

Unless you destroy your old car someone is still going to be driving it so it will be just as bad for the environment and there’ll be a new car on the road. And producing the new car would have environmental effects as well.

“The series hopes to get started in 2017, with a seven-race season on purpose-built road courses throughout Europe, Asia and America.”

The fact that he did that while winning 37 F1 titles in the 1996-2004 era is, frankly, quite impressive.

If you don’t know what CHMSL is, get off Jalopnik.

Im glad it finally happened. But I don’t get it. If I was collecting supercars sure. For the person that wants one track day car, or something to show off it seems like money could be spent elsewhere with better results.

Toyota did so well with the FJ Cruiser that they killed it after one generation. The FJ Cruiser’s first two years were decent, but sales fell 50% the third year on the market, then tumbled another 50+% for the 4th year. They averaged like 11,000-15,000 a year, certainly nowhere near what either Ford or Toyota would…

Talks about Toyota’s incredible hybrid technology, takes a swat at German car snobiness, and posts a picture of a car that keeps losing to its German rivals. All in one post!
