From the lead image, I thought “Holy shit. That madman has somehow figured out how to project movies from his J-10 headlights.” Kinda disappointed that wasn’t the case. 

Hi, Craigslist-hawk here. I watch the sub-$1000 market on CL daily for the last couple years. i love scooping up some new projects from time to time. i watch it like a hawk, and usually come across 1 interesting project a month that i go check out. i usually buy 1 every 3 to 4 months, and sell off the last one for a…

Don’t worry. Jared Kushner will protect us.

I did something similar last summer and got an Audi A3 with under 35,000 miles on it for about $19,000, with a CarMax warranty. 14 speaker 700 watt stereo, AWD, 0-60 in 5.4 seconds.

Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes. That means that other outlets sign extensive non-disclosure agreements, agreeing to sit on information for days, weeks, sometimes months in advance, and not say a peep about it until a manufacturer’s marketing team says they can.…

How did you write an entire post about this car, and all of its insane specifications, and not even mention the Freevalve technology it will be using?!

I was born a few years after you, and I can say for sure that this car was an icon to me and my friends when it was new and I was a youngster. I’m sure it just differs based on what you were exposed to.

yes it is. I was born in 1991 and remember telling my dad to buy one instead of the Avalon he got in 1996 or 97. he didn’t listen to me and has since owned a Sienna, a Prius, and a Highlander Hybrid. But he loves driving my FR-S.

I would say late Gen-x and early millenials, because we grew up looking at them. I used to bag groceries and gather shopping carts in the late 90s/early 2000s and if there was a Supra or NSX or something in the parking lot we’d all run out to oogle it (yet I wasn’t old enough to drive). This was before Fast and the…

Far too many people treat cars like an appliance that you use to get from point A to point B. I use to wonder how many people could do something basic like change a tire. Now I wonder how many people could open the hood on their car.

I remember really wanting a 2nd gen Cavalier Z24 when I was 16. It was blocky in all the right ways and had the cool power bulge hood. I found a blue one with the 3.1 and actually had my parents onboard as they footed the insurance bill at the time. By the end of our relatively tame test drive the motor was ticking…

Trans Ams for Three Shows/Movies

DeLorean, Cadillac Ecto-1, 1958 Plymouth Fury (Christine), Aston Martin DB5 and DBS. And that is just a few. 

...or the classic VW Bug in a more general sense, at least.

My ‘99 Cobra convertible has nearly 160k miles and is still beautiful! I’m the second owner and have had it for nearly 19 years.

the only cars I want to import are v8 utes.

electricity problem has got to be solved anyhow.  I don’t have an ev but i do have a refrigerator and I do like my ice cream not to be melted goop.

OOOH the lost keys game is my favorite, I just turn the wife loose. But I always ask them to check again before doing so. 

I’ve always liked the looks of the C5.. The first time I saw one in person I was in my early 20s.. we were out on a section of rural highway where we’d meet up to street race.. I was in a ‘95 Mustang GT with nitrous and a few other small mods, there was a 1997 c5 there with just a different intake.. We lined up and…

The C5 is the reason I became a car enthusiast. It was in the middle of it’s run when I was a little kid, I remember asking my dad “what’s your favorite car?” Though I’m sure he had/has many, the answer he gave me was “Corvette.” The next time we were on the road together, he pointed one out. I saw the wide, sleek…
