ND - at $6500, you’d have buyer’s remorse faster than that thing could hit 65 mph, even in the current market.

They got Al Capone on tax evasion, not on generally being Al Capone.

My grandfather had a body shop right beside my house, so I spent my summers there watching them fix up cars, and I started helping out how I could. Probably around 13 or 14 I was moving cars in and out of the garage.

There has been a literal mountain of evidence that cops policing their own, or the unions punishing the bad ones doesn’t work and will not work. Sure, make the cops go back to headquarters for the gun. While we're at it,  make the cruiser a prius, not a battering ram SUV with a push bar on it. Better fuel economy for…

Miatas are small and lightweight, but it’s also about weight balance. I wonder how they’ll be able to engineer batteries into all the right places in a car that small to keep the car balanced and nimble.

If the new one was this, a 2 door wagony hatch, I’d be 100% in “shut up and take my money” mode.

Man, to be from Texas, go all the way to Ohio to almost go out like that dude at the end of Twister...

As someone who is relatively new to Jalopnik, I don't know why I bother to comment. Anything I ever say takes anywhere from an hour to days to get approved.

John DeLorean. His maverick attitude got him around corporate bureaucracy to build cool cars like the GTO. And being a proper kid of the 80s, I geek out over the rare sighting of a DeLorean more than almost any other car out there.

I literally laughed out loud for a minute over this. Kudos.

I’m more impressed that the guy managed to find a handhold on an HHR.

It’s also such an uneven scale of damage done for the victim. It’s not like they stole the wheels and tires, leaving the car on blocks. Hell, a set of tires and wheels for a truck may be more expensive to replace. But it’s the psychological weight of having the exhaust cut into pieces to extract the catalytic…

Wow, the lede picture looks almost just like my first car, a 97 Z24. Mine was the same color, manta green metallic. 

This is an underrated comment. European cars can’t import their current headlight technology to the US because NHTSB standards are decades old, making new technology non-compliant, but a steering wheel that looks and works differently than every wheel on the market clears compliance without issue??

I love that a guy who wrote an article about traversing TWO continents in two different Wranglers is getting beat down by car nerds telling him how that is impossible and the car won’t hold up.

So when you go on vacation, you don’t go home and tell your friends/coworkers/neighbors/family about it?

Even David’s Jeeps that aren’t corroding itself to nothing are just doing their best to just sort of explode apart. 

With apologies to Arrested Development...

You’re doing the same thing.  You are attacking this other person based on a bunch of presumptions. At this point, you're both committing ad hominim attacks against one other for what you presume their political stance to be.

Fascinating read. I hadn’t heard of the Al-ion battery yet. I love the idea of electric cars, but have been waiting to hear about a generational shift in battery technology that makes them more practical for my use case.
