I bought a gift certificate for a relative and she told me it was the most pleasant car buying experience she’s ever had.

While someone buying this wouldn’t consider that to be house money, the fact remains that it is house-buying money in a lot of places for other people and they could buy one for a family in need. If someone has the inclination to spend that much on a stupid watch that looks awkwardly bulky to wear and as Jason said…

While I can’t bring myself to be outraged (it’s an underground event, they’re going to do it anyway), it definitely rubs me the wrong way.

The Astros World Series of Cannonball Runs.

That’s why they don't release the data publicly until all statues of limitation have expired. They send it to the previous record holders for verification, as previous articles on the subject have explained.

And running 100s of car spotters, airplane spotters, ten of thousands of dollars of radar and radar jamming equipment doesn’t qualify for an asterisk?

Please tell us the proper rules for doing crimes

I think the idea that it’s somehow worse to do this during the coronavirus is quite wrong—yes, a crash will pull resources away from the virus, but a crash during “normal” times could very well kill a family or other innocent roadgoers. Minimizing the risk of that kind of incident seems to at least balance the…

Kind of ironic that you wrote the exact article Ed predicted in the very vinwiki video you shared, condemning this run. Which is funny considering all the positive press Ed got here on jalopnik back when he originally broke the record. 

It’s like a tweet from Trump. You read it to see how stupid it is, but then you realize you’re just encouraging him by giving him more attention.

Agree! There is really no good reason, that I have found, for a truck/SUV to have a console mounted shifter. But all the bloggers here will drone on and on about how dated and stupid that is.   I’m welcome to hear other opinions, but I just prefer the simple column shift lever.

Why is a console shifter desirable?

My folks got a new F150 last fall. It’s amazing how poor the quality materials are despite it being a ~$55k truck.

Am I the only one that hates Ford interiors? I mean every single model is drab and usually even worse in person (the Mustang is ok, but even thats not saying much). I mean has anyone sat inside the new Explorer or Escape? Full of cheap plastic and just overall not good looking. This interior looks to continue the…

Sorry Justin, I dig those headlights. I feel like they’re doing “Art and Science” better than Cadillac ever did.

While it’s not great that the auto industry’s going to take a big hit, I feel worse for all of the people who can’t work from home and have lost their jobs.  Small businesses such as restaurants that will shut their doors, none of their employees will be buying cars anytime soon.  

My go-to descriptor for these male oriented dramas (WWE, OCC, Gas Monkey, etc.) is “Trailer Soaps.” 

Had a gloriously jaded TV writer lecturer in uni call it “shitty girlfriend TV”.

why cant they get away from the format of 3 dudes . no mater what, no mater what. 

Dude, are you actually taking every word in a promo video literally? I mean, there is an Aston Martin Valhalla in there (so a brand new supercar), a 2005 era Ford GT etc. They could for example have an intro going where Beau grabs a cool car to find the star shitbox... Errr, significant car of the episode or something…
