In my own opinion, I think if there needed to be a definition of the Jalopnik community that could be accepted by all it'd be that "we like cars based on how cool or interesting they are, regardless of anything else like cost, rarity, exclusivity, etc." But I can concede that I'm in no position to define the…

I should have said "last two sentences." The attitude I was referring to was the one that puts people down because they have low budgets. I thought that we here liked cars because they were cool, regardless of the cost.

They drive some of the slowest, ugliest, heaviest, most outdated vehicles on the road but constantly feel the need to let everyone know how "great" they are. "Oh, but they're cheap, parts are plentiful and they are easy to fix" No. They suck. You're just too poor to afford anything nice. Get over yourselves.

On this day in 1969, the legendary actor, philanthropist and automobile enthusiast Paul Newman makes his onscreen racing debut in the action-drama film "Winning."

And batteries are pretty heavy. And also because people that know more about the topic than both of us have done a lot more calculations of the…

What really gets me is that the toggle switches are attached to the panel with those crappy threaded rings, same as a $2 Radio Shack switch.

When was the last time you felt like that? Just knowing that you have the power to give another human being you love that sensation is like being King Dad of The Boss' Republic of Fantastistan. It's great.

Michigan may have the worst roads I've experienced, but overall it's a decent state for drivers. Cops usually seem to use their energy for things more important than traffic violations, and if you do get a ticket it's easy enough to fight in court. Recent example of how laid-back they are: I was doing 85 in a 70 in a…

I see what you did there

Your answer to #5 is beautiful.

This is gold.

I trolololed

Patrick, I work at an automaker that is similar in size to GM, and we are given almost the exact same presentation every year (albeit with less ridiculous "banned words"). As many others have mentioned, this strategy both helps avoid pointless legal issues and improves product development. It's not there to hide…

I've got your pitchfork right here!

Thank you for saying what I came here to say!
