I’m going to make two nominations:

While it may seem that EV’s are not the raging success one would hope for let’s be honest here: MUCH has happened in a very short time period but EVs are still a very new phenomena. It is only just more recent that the range and the prices have become more practical but there is still a long way to go. Give it time.…

I realize this article is largely tongue in cheek, but the discussion could benefit from a breakdown of what contamination is, what radiation is, and the three things that will help minimize exposure: time, distance, and shielding. Radiation is what kills you, through several methods of cellular damage; this…

My first vehicle was a 78 chevy pickup with a 350. I put on Edlebrock headers with glasspacks off of an old 65 Ford, so they were basically street legal straight pipes. I even used the time honored trick of using a garden hose to send water into the glass-packs to shatter the muffler and send the waste back out of…

Aha! I’m not sure I’d found Jalopnik in 2012, but that explains it very succinctly. I consider myself duly educated - thank you!

All the stars for you. Thank you!

Nothing. Hes talking about nothing and this means nothing. Hes speaking to his base specifically so they can eat it up. Stuff like this makes him seem presidential to them but he really isn’t. This is like your shitty boss saying “ we’re going to start a committee to review your lunch breaks so you can get what you…

He thought of it in the moment. It means nothing.

We got an e-Golf two months ago for my wife. It is a fantastic car, and it is nice to start every day with a “full tank”. Range hasn’t been an issue, even in LA. We still have 2 other cars for fun and long trips.

You have to consider that there are other counties besides the US. While some possible regulations may make less attractive to buy electric vehicles in the future. It doesn’t mean that rest of the world will stop consuming EV’s. They will be ready when the US decides to start buying them again.

This whole “LS engines are literally the cheapest thing ever” idea is getting really old. Please, please, please show me where you can get a decent LS2 and a Tremec T56 for $3k. Hell I’d even pay you a $1k finders fee, because you’d still be saving me a few grand.

Yep, that’s one of the quickest ways to take some of the power back from them.

That’s exactly it. Cars are easy and cheap to repo and resell. Houses...not so much. Plus there’s worldwide demand for repo’ed cars since they’re easily moveable and can be moved to where the buyers are. Again, with houses, not so much. Finally, the prices of cars isn’t artificially inflated like with houses in…

Mrs. iElvis’s best friend’s husband was a professional golfer who played the Asian and European tours for years but never quite cracked the PGA. Won enough money to meet expenses and make a decent middle-class living, but no more than that. Finally accepting that he was never going to make it big (even though that was…

I wish I could find online (and recall some bibliographically useful details about) a magazine article from maybe 20-25 years ago — it was several pages of musings about what it’s like to be crowding 30 and realize you’d peaked as something like the 120th ranked player on the men’s tennis tour.

I’ve traveled (and driven) all over this great country, and I would take LA traffic over DC traffic any day. Similar gridlock, but the DC Metro Area (which extends all the way up through Frederick, MD, Baltimore’s northern suburbs/exburbs, and down through NoVA) has much more... aggressive drivers. At least…

New TGI Friday’s Jack Daniel’s Southwestern Sushi Eggroll Burger Bites with Thai Peanut Sauce and Cheese! sounds...like something they’d have.

Motorcycles don’t require as much storage space. It’s easy to have one or two...or nine.

I was hoping to pick one of these up as their prices continued to drop, but kept waiting for the bottom to fall out — which of course it didn’t and now these fetch pretty good money unless you want a 50k mile shitter. This is one of my favorite cars ever, and IMHO the most beautiful (or certainly most classy) Ferrari…

This is more of a general statement, but David, I’m always, always, always so impressed with the depth, research and detail that goes into your stories. Well done brother, great stuff.
