Typically, the cars that tend to spontaneously combust tend to be ones where the owner has missed several payments and is upside down on the loan.

I’m going to assume that’s not the case here, since Santander probably doesn’t finance 25 year old semi-exotics. 

One of my college roommates once convinced another college roommate that he should change the winter air in his tires for summer air. 

It’s a fleet vehicle, so it falls into the category of “you pay for it, but someone else actually uses it, so it needs to be cheap as possible and who cares about the experience”

I realize Jalopnik loves this stuff, but I bet most fleet drivers would rather not have to crank the window all the time. 

If anyone is getting a VW tattoo it should be Torch 

The vent knobs look like some Oreos.

My granny got a ‘burban, not an Excursion. 

My understanding is that a dump truck like this would only need a class B CDL in the US, while a tractor trailer driver would need a class A, so there is a higher licensing requirement for them. 

Mercedes is David Tracy if David Tracy had a significant other to talk him out of his worst ideas into ideas that are bad but not quite as bad. 

I didn’t realize Porsche had started making boats. 

I guess it turns out that all their friends do not, in fact, know the lowrider. 

Not sure how bad this guy is at his craft considering he’s got a Bentley and hasn’t been caught yet. 

Misread title as “should you put used coffee grounds in your pants” and was like, pretty sure the answer is no. 

Someone also needs to answer the question of “where do I charge this thing” for people who live in townhouses, condos, apartments, or older/urban neighborhoods where they street park.

You can also buy RV’s directly from Jucy, and they say they start at $7000, so it might actually be cheaper to do that. They even throw in a 10 day rental in Australia or New Zealand, if that’s something you want to do.

Are you referring to the fact that companies get to expense gas-powered vehicles, the same way they get to expense... everything else? Because we tax businesses on profit, and profit is calculated by deducting expenses from revenue?

One of my side hustles is selling on eBay.   So I get to deduct expenses like eBay…

I like that the dispatcher identified it as the white van that’s on fire, as not to be confused with the other vans that are on fire.

Seriously, though, they are super lucky that there wasn’t a house built across the street from theirs.

I mean, exterior-wise, there is only so much you can do with an SUV.  It’s a giant box, and making it swoopy reduces the interior space, which is the reason people buy them in the first place. 

I’ve taken some road trips during These Challenging Times, and while I didn’t go that far west, I went to some pretty rural areas and didn’t get hassled about wearing a mask and would say the majority of people were masked.

One thing that helps is stopping at a lot of big truck stops like Love’s or Pilot/Flying J.…

I’d rather have a refrigerator made out of an old mini.

If you are taking a trip to somewhere where parking is scarce, google map it first to get an idea of where you might be able to park.

Thanks to doing this, I was able to find the one non-metered parking spot left on a recent stay at a downtown hotel and avoid paying for a lot or paying for valet parking.
