SOLID NP.

Allow me an analogy: You walk into a Quiznos and see a guy leave half of a perfectly good Italian sandwich just... sitting there. There’s nothing wrong with it. The sandwich was clearly cut in half, and aside from being a little rough from the unwrapping process, that’s half of a good sandwich. It even still has the…

You really need to drive older Jimnys at some point and somewhere that is not a short dirt road test. That will end this weird boner you have for them.

Of course you shouldn’t ban riding motorcycles in the winter - that would be silly. It was 74F here today! Had the top down running errands in my convertible this afternoon, and worked from my lanai most of the day.

I can almost hear Guenther Steiner laughing from here.  

Expedition Portal is full of rich people that like to set money on fire to fuel their obscure offroad fetish.

I’m on ExPo, I’ve seen both sides. Though I will say expecting a car to be able to do 5k miles without problems is a very low bar.

I could have killed my wife today. Said, “Hey, I need to get out of the house, just gonna go for a drive”. Her response was “Great, let me put on pants, we need groceries!”. So instead of taking the Sky and aimlessly cruising the back roads of NJ, I wen to fucking Wegmans in an SUV.

Just buy a damn 4Runner: The Car

I spotted this video, taken by mechanic and off-road enthusiast Jessica Elizabeth, on Facebook, and figured I’d share it with you, dear Jalopnik readers

There is always a knee-jerk attack against people who don’t join the hive mind on issues like this. I think J.K. Rowling’s attitude on the subject is hurtful and troubling, however that’s not all that she is. Turning people into caricatures because they disagree isn’t right. I’m certainly not famous or wealthy, but I…

In the end, though, December is over and the first thing I did in the New Year was take my 912E for a very loud and very gasoline-powered drive.

Would you rather we have more poor people than more rich people?

2nd one was completely pilot error, but sure, lets go with that. Oh and the airline lied about training. I as a random asshole on the internet knew at the time that flaps locked out MCAS. He retracted flaps when things started going wrong.

It’s fine. The plane is good. I’m a commercial aircraft mechanic, I’m flying on one in two weeks, and I couldn’t care less.

And that is a fair assesment, but when you have already completed 99% of the process, starting all over may not be the best use of your time, especially if the dealer will give in and pull the nonsense from the quote.

YES PLEASE. $26K for this pseudo 70 series 4x4 albeit with a 4 cylinder motor and the steering wheel straight from Cadillac and a cluster that appears to be parts bin GM? With 100K powertrain warranty and 60K bumper to bumper?  Are those tail lights and the tire cover leftover from the last Isuzu Trooper sold in the…

Because it was subcontracted out to Alfa Romeo? 

DMLS (or LMF as called here) still has a ways to go before it really infringes on traditional casting methods.  The weight savings and internal coolant passages are neat, but the production time and cost is still too high to be a viable option for mass production.

You think that a 4500lb Camry with 30 more horsepower will be faster than a 2800lb YarisGR?
