I had a 97 ZJ with the 4.0, and while the engine itself was unkillable, everything around it started to really suck. Cracked exhaust manifold (notorious), electrical issues (notorious), bad starter, etc

put it 4th in line

this is the type of 4x i like in my game

Here’s what happened, according to the Florida Highway Patrol’s tweet, with cop-dashcam video

Say what you will about manual door locks, but there’s certainly no need to air gap them.

Yeah straight piping is obnoxious, but straight piped cars aren’t actively trying to go around and spew diesel smoke on people.  They’re just noisy AF

uhh nobody died

IKR? This lady knows what the fuck she’s talking about

I love car cultures- donks, lowriders, Bosozoku, drift, hell, even stance- what’s particular about all of them is they take an ordinary (or less-than ordinary) car and make it special; they improve it in some specific way, either aesthetically or performance-related. All, that is, except for coal rollers. Rolling coal…

Great review. As an unashamed minivan aficionado, THIS is the type of car that I love to read about. People so often forget that before cars became ‘lifestyle purchases’ or status symbols, they were a tool. They should make your life easier, not more complicated.

As an IATSE Local 700 member who just voted to authorize a strike against AMPTP, I say good for the UAW. Fuck em

Smoke inhalation (the ‘spitting’, as characterized by the DA) is assault.  Hitting them with a truck- in the act of assault- could be construed as attempted manslaughter.

Mr. Tracy, you are literally ‘event journalism’ personified. I love Torch, I loved Fancy Kristen, I loved all the other alums, but this is the crap people show up to Jalopnik for. You are a goddamned crazy bastard worth reading about. Bravo and God speed

I’ve thought long and hard about my next project car, and keep coming back to this:

Lol wat? Attempted Murder x6.

LOL on a 14mpg Armada? Do the graphics go from ‘melted polar ice caps’ to ‘mad max desert’?

From Asbury:

I could be wrong, but I’m guessing that installing those throttle bodies and intake trumpets is a LOT more than one step’s worth of work

Agreed. The 1960-1999 iteration is the clear standout best of the bunch, although I have a LOT of love for that art deco one emblazoned on the triangular badge of the P1800...
