They should have just programmed the ECU of the manual cars to know when they are on a dyno and have them keep under the 160g emmission requirement while being tested.

Exactly why it’s not happening any time soon.

The idea hurts my head the more and more I think of it. How about people going to the lake for a weekend/week. You might be able to have public transport to the major places, but say like in Minnesota, like 90% of all those lakes would no longer have anyone go there. So you take public transportation to a lake, wait,…

Energy independence isn’t the worry that it used to be, we net export oil.

Absolutely the wrong take-away. Nobody is suggesting the 90s wrecks that Allison, Earnhardt, and others (Ernie Irvan, for example) survived weren’t lucky breaks — that’s why the safety has become such an important aspect of the engineering of these cars AND TRACKS ... but I suspect Elizabeth knows this.

This stinks of…

The real journalist is always in the comments. 

Good grief! Seriously. Because he refused to hire people that have already broken our laws he is being pilloried?

She more of the man hating type. Sees “toxic masculinity” at ever turn in the automotive world. 

Jalopnik seems to hate capitalism. And you need capitalism to manufacture (safe and enjoyable) cars as the process is so incredibly labor and capital intensive.

I think a bigger problem around here is that Jalops are, on average, incredibly judgemental. Around here, there are “right” and “wrong” vehicles to own.

Jalopnik has its moments about hating cars.

“The dealers have pointed to a lack of demand for less-than-affluent customers”

Just because it’s come up in a couple of comments -- the MSF does still require long sleeves and long pants to participate. The photos of Alyssa on the bike came from after the course was finished, when everyone had thrown their street gear back on because it was about a million percent humidity out

It’s way too easy to get a motorcycle license and the nature of the tests don’t really apply to real world danger. I rarely if ever have found myself executing any of the moves needed to pass the test while riding in the real world.

Governments rarely do anything to help normal, everyday, citizens.

Sabine Ren is punk rock. Do you know how I know? Because they showed her riding a motorcycle with punk rock music playing and her being sassy. That’s how I know. And that’s how you introduce a character to an audience with rocks in their heads.

Because Brittany is mentally ill.  

Why was the adult STILL under a conservatorship?

I don’t get why the author is trying to call into doubt whether or not Sandra Bullock knew about this situation. How would she know? She was given a script, and probably met the woman she pretended to be a few times in controlled situations where that woman would have been pretending to be great.

It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say she had nothing to do with this.  She got a script, was given a role, and performed it well.  Why assume otherwise without a shred of evidence?  What exactly did you learn as a student of journalism?
