Does anyone think maybe people are using BaT to launder money? Because these prices are insane. I mean, I’m totally going to list my GTV6 soon.

I’ll probably get roasted, but I never cared for American Top Gear. Some bits here and there were funny/entertaining, but overall, it wasn’t good. Not sure I’d call it the worst though.

in the US, airbags are mandated, fuel cell crash safety standards are mandated, front and side impact standards are mandated, emissions are mandated, back up cameras are mandated, 3 point belts are mandated, child safety seat connecters are mandated, ABS and VSC are mandated.

The “power of the free market” is a myth propagated by corporations who want to cut corners and see regulations as an enemy of profit.

Cue anyone who says that the free market will sort out safety on its own. The fact that automakers specifically engineer less-safe versions of the same car in markets with lower standards should put that farce to rest once and for all.

Y’all keep saying this about Melinda’s publicist, but what is the payoff to air this dirt? It’s hurtful to her kids and WA is a community property state so she’s already entitled to a lot of money. Don’t get me wrong, I love the info, it just surprises me that Melinda would immediately air the laundry after announcing…

This reminds me, I need to watch Fargo again sometime soon.  Great movie.

David, we like you around here. With the cars you like, please drive UNDER the speed limit at all times. We don’t want to see you killed. Can your cars even go faster than the speed limit?

I cooked some salmon in the office microwave. I apologized a hundred times, to no avail.

Thank you, Michael for (a) making Jalop a thing and (b) giving me something car-related to read every day after work. It’s always been a nice break from responsibilities and die!die!die! national news. God speed, sir.

Great to see the hobby hit Jalop Prime. Now I have an excuse to show off my work!

My brother is 6'3" and he’s never complained about his mk6 and my old roommate is 6'4" and dailies a mk7 Golf R...with a stick too.

obviously a custom super bronco

You know what’s more astonishing than an 80% dive?

This is the busiest “slice” of a car I’ve ever seen. Even after a few years, these things get my attention for all the wrong reasons. It’s simultaneously basic/homely and annoyingly offensive, which is hard to do. Like the car version of Pauly Shore.
