Over 3,000 miles away, isn’t it? Unless the vehicles arrived from Germany via the port in Halifax and then were shipped by rail across the country to be distributed to dealers, where they were then recalled... but that’s only a guess. Otherwise it would make no sense. 

I daily drive a 2010 E350 and will be buying another next year. The really are great cars and this generation has proven to be very reliable.

Honestly, if I had JUST bought a Veyron and it got sideswiped by a CR-V, I probably would've had an identical reaction, if not worse. 

IIHS is truly baffling with some of these “rules”. They act as if Europe and Canada haven’t performed their own safety tests and these technologies can’t possibly be safe for AMERICA.

This will do nothing but drive more people to Facebook Marketplace, which is already well on its way to becoming the new Craigslist

This one is easy, get a Viper. Badass sounding and looking? Check. Manual? Check. Easy to drive? Despite what everyone says, yep. They are perhaps hard to drive at the limit (or the limit is hard to get to depending on your courage), but they are easy to drive regularly. Plus, they’re pretty cheap comparatively…

If you want to stand out in a sea of Italian exotics and other opulent rides, you need something bold and brash, something that proudly proclaims your love of row-your-own automobiles and your lack of rationality.

Yeah this is nightmare fuel. As someone that owns a full M-swapped e46 325 wagon, I never love the thought of my insurance company totaling and valuing my wagon at $3,000.

Don’t be obtuse. That is a poor metaphor and you know it. The dB scale is logarithmic. It is also subject to highly variable environmental conditions, hence using a SAE standard for testing sound. The police are completely ignoring the standard, skipping equipping officers with the tools to actually measure sound and…

What annoys me is the subjectivity of all of this. A cop can pull you over give you a ticket and drag your ass to court, even if your car comes in at 94 dB. You may win in court, but now you have to take a day off work or go without wages. It is nothing more than a stop and frisk law in vehicular form.

The Pink Pig, because racers tend to be exceptional middle-finger raisers.

That’s already being done, Car Matchmaker with Spike Feresten on NBC Sports channel. It’s done exactly this way, and he’s Jerry Seinfeld buddy, and quite a knowledgeable car car.. Always picks out interesting cars to choose from. It’s been on since 2014 so there’s quite a few episodes out there. Shows that there’s at…

You’ve basically just described Spike Feresten’s Car Matchmaker show.

It never stopped looking shockingly fucking awful to my eyes.

And this is exactly the right way to approach this.

Did you not read the part about the Porsche dealer that essentially gave me a list of places to get their Cayenne expected and said: “Choose your favorite and we will drop it off”? I get that some dealers have too many tire kickers, the point is that the right dealers understand the type of buyer looking for a…

Tom, I suggest that Jalopnik should do a web video series called “Car Hunters” starring you and other esteemed Jalops. Similar (exactly) to the cash cow that is “House Hunters,” you interview a person/couple/family about what they want or need in a new car, and take them to see three (or more) prospective choices.…

it was a groupon deal he only spent like 3 grand

Ariel Atom!

Yup, my sales advisor told me that it is a 7-9 month wait on an E63S Wagon.
