If you and another car are both traveling at 40 mph OVER the speed limit ... that exactly and specifically IS racing, ya clown. Two cars travelling together at grossly excessive speed on the street is exactly and specifically street racing. Just because the driver didn’t strap on a helmet and have a flag drop doesn’t…

Weeeellllllllll ... if you totally hate Boondock Saints The Original now, you might actually like and prefer the sequel ... while the first was a pretty straight-forward action movie with a goodly chunk of original and innovative dialog and scene settings, the sequel is a totally over-the-top camped-up spoof of…

Having been a driver for over 3 decades (and a rider for 2), I can assure you in no uncertain terms that “loud pipes” do not save lives, they just piss off everybody in cars. The vast majority of ‘cagers’ CANNOT TELL WHERE THE BIKE IS based on their obnoxious noise. And in traffic we often only actually hear them when…

I think that some people are using the word “drone” in that manner, but by the ‘technically correct’ definition, to be a drone the vehicle/craft has to be at least semi-autonomous. I.e., not always under direct control of a remote pilot/driver.

how many times have you had a car in the shop and the shop promises the parts will be in “tomorrow” and tomorrow comes...three months later?

I guarantee you, nobody is going to tow anything with a $70,000 trophy truck. This is built to be seen driving, not to break fingernails doing actual work.

I’ve gotta say, I think all the “What, a $65,000 truck?” stuff is misplaced.

Alrighty, I know I’m treading on religious grounds now, but most “crossovers” are SUVs. There are very few body-on-frame SUVs left in this world. All small and midsize SUVs are crossovers (at least of vehicles sold in the U.S.).

As an SUV driver I resent that last statement. Most SUV’s are big boxes with generally large greenhouses, it is incredibly easy to see all 4 corners. In fact in my Tahoe I find

those 35 days of down time mean that the truck is not trucking, not doing its job, not paying its bills

§ Average repair cost for the four F-150s was $7,720, $1,755 more than for the Silverados. That is 29% more.

I live and work in suburban Northern California, and generally only ride during fair weather conditions. I base my gear on the planned distance of the ride and known road conditions. A five minute ride to a local coffee shop? Helmet & gloves & foot coverings (anything that doesn’t leave toes exposed basically), but…

It’s almost as though you take some offense to people spending their money foolishly being told they’re spending their money foolishly?

If you buy a Mercedes as a status symbol you still use it for its main purpose. If you buy a truck for a status symbol chances are it will never be used for its main purpose.

I think you just touched a point that you didn’t address (at least not directly) in your article when you say “most of your luxury car dealers don’t play games” ... I’m sure there’s a notable difference between how most higher-end dealers behave and the bottom half (two-thirds? three-quarters?) of the market. And…

Are you dense? What exactly are you referring to with, awful prehistoric bullshit 3 wheeler? The Morgan possibly or maybe the Polaris Slingshot?

Well driving across the country is actually more expensive than the flight.

I’m kinda confused by the bit where you say “dealers get fucked by the manufacturer” ... seems to me from everything I’ve seen on Jalopnik, it’s the other way around. Other than that, carry on.

You’re right in thinking that there are more appropriate trailers for hauling such equipment ... however, you seem to not be clear on some of the facts that were given in the article (or are sufficiently commonly known as to often remain unsaid) — specifically that was a Russian transport since Crimea is technically…

Ummm ... isn’t that how it ALWAYS worked in the past, before the agency was gutted and resorted to simply “allowing” carmakers to be the judge and jury over their own safety defect issues?
