Looking to dip my toes in the water again here on Opposite lock. What’s going on nowadays? Anything interesting? I’m literally sitting at a table right now – how about you? (I have to start somewhere.)

BMW's favorite truncated SUV is back for 2015 in fresh clothes, crisp and steamy from the dryer. And you know what? I want one. Not even sorry.

In branding, you have these things called "touchpoints", mainly little experiential details believed to help part you from your money; textures, colors, sounds, light, temperature, and even smell. Why is smell particularly so important? Because that touchpoint is worth billions to auto manufacturers.

Not that you haven't already noticed, but Alfa Romeo has delivered to mankind a sports car that virtually everybody has documented their insatiable lust for. It's beautiful, save for Alfa's interesting choice in production headlights. Too bad, because the eyes on this baby are the 4C's absolute best quality.

I'm puzzled. I very rarely have competing feelings of being driven to lunging my head over a toilet and yet feeling inspired and impressed all at the same time. This car (?) makes me do this, and it can be yours for $100,000 – or a partial trade for a Fisker Karma, apparently.

Nobody's perfect. We all have ticks and habits that slowly whittle down our ability to live our lives in relative sanity and cleanliness. You can identify a good friend by their willingness to simply make you aware of your awful, asinine shortcomings – especially when it comes to your car. Well friendo, I've got a…

I like small V8s. Jalopnik does too. But I'm curious if there's anything on the other end of the spectrum. You know ... a large-displacement I4. Anything out there you can point to?

Pedestrians are the bane of the motorist's existence. You idiots in your walking shoes, headphones, cellphones, newspapers, and tall skinny mocha lattes love to walk blindingly into an intersection– crosswalk present or not –fully expecting a 2000-4500 lb. chunk of metal, plastic, and glass traveling at 40 mph to stop…

Gerry Judah has bestowed another form of cars-flying-in-the-sky sculpture unto humanity, this time at the request of Porsche GB. He's well known for this sort of metal aerobics, like a collection of airplanes and their contrails frozen in time – of course fashioned for a decidedly automotive flavor. I dig it.

I'm depressed nowadays. Cars are getting too expensive, too complicated, and too automated. Now, in our glorious digital age, we have this weird need to add apps and touch screens to everything when it was perfectly fine in original form. Enter the gilded era of the digital dash. Ugh.

So this has been in practice since 2011 in Australia, but clearly St. Louis, MO had no idea. A college roommate of mine caused a head-on collision under an overpass due to driving (drunk as a skunk) on the wrong side of the road. If waterscreen stop signs were installed to warn motorists to stop and turn around, it at…

[Wallpaper Download] [iPhone 5 Background Download] – Last I checked, everyone seems to be in love with the look of the Alfa Romeo 8C. Although it's not a particularly agile performer, it is particularly pretty to look at. In my opinion, its engine compartment containing the throaty V8 is no exception.

Hi. I'm Mailbox Cancer. That pseudonym doesn't really mean anything. I'm a lot like you: I love anything with four wheels and a seat (sometimes two wheels) and rely on the minds here at Jalopnik to spoon feed me my daily automotive journalism. It's sometimes purely informational, at other times ridiculous asinine…
