I’ll bet money these guys have to be rescued by people in real trucks at some point.

Thank you for this. I enjoy a good car show for whatever. There’s a guy that brings his old 80's Pontiac (a mild sport variant model) to the local show. He never wins and he knows this, but he tells a great story about his (now deceased) wife used to drive it to her work and then passed it through the family. Now it’s…

“if you break into this truck, you can steal guns”

I’m glad someone here gets it. This article is basically The Problem With Car Culture. Why bother going to a car show if you’re annoyed by seeing cars you don’t like? I like seeing purple hot rods, classic Mustangs, restomod, corvettes, beaters, etc. If something doesn’t spark my interest, then I move on.

Ah cool, almost an entire slideshow about gatekeeping. Neat.

It sorta does

Not any one in particular, but I loved the Torch’s Taillights series. A glorious flirtation with madness, with some interesting bits of trivia sprinkled liberally throughout. I also enjoy the internecine bickering of What Car Should You Buy? Honestly, I just really like it when Jalopnik gets weird with it. That’s when…

The Goodyear RV tire story was the pinnacle of Jalopnik investigative, independent reporting that rattled a giant and held them accountable instead of letting it get swept under a rug. Incredible work by Felton and a high water mark for Jalopnik as an outlet. https://jalopnik.com/how-goodyear-hid-evidence-of-the-worst-…

Any story BEFORE slideshows (which unironically this will become) and those with over a dozen backlinks to mostly unrelated content.

Without having to think about it, Raphael Orlove’s fantastic, long piece on the history of Mazda’s failed attempt at a luxury brand and the resulting Mazda Millenia. Since it all happened in the pre-mass-market internet days, the only way to hear the story is from a ton of the important, high-up people who were…

This is what I’m worried about. I drive a bmw and always use my signal. I learned to drive first and THEN got a bmw much later in life so I cant just shake those bad habits of signaling and paying attention.  I’m genuinely worried that I’m going to give someone a heart attack one day because I don’t drive like they…

It always struck me as weird to celebrate one’s connection with, not mere traitors, not even traitors who fought to continue enslaving other humans, but traitorous enslavers who got their asses kicked six ways from Sunday. You’re celebrating a bunch of losers, in every sense of the word.  Every time you see someone…

A few years ago, I went to a classic car show and saw a guy wiping down his brand-new Mustang. It still had the temp tags on it. Ridiculous.
