Like Chevy truck taillights from the same era, but reversed. 

We finally get to see what the child of the gatekeeper and the keymaster looks like.

Yes, but more maddening. And when they release the new features, they send you an expensive proprietary memory stick with the “update,” which in reality is just an unlock code.

If it’s anything like their cinema cameras, they’re gonna sell me a car with a bunch of features built in and then I get to pay them more money at a later date to unlock those features. Also, the AV menu will probably suck.

I...I don’t think our eyes are gonna notice the difference between 120 and 360Hz.

I’m clear on what concept cars are, but even concept cars need to, well, move.

So the fenders. Are we just gonna pretend that this thing can navigate over any sort of not perfectly level ground, or is this just some sort of art thing?

In his book, he mentions how he wants all of his car model names to spell out SEXY. Only reason why the Model 3 isn’t called the model E is because Ford has the rights to the name “Model 3.” He settled for a backwards E instead.

Jalopnik Readers: We love interesting cars and only weird rare green station wagons are good.

I love my 2001 330ci. I’ve only got about 80k miles on it, and it drives like new. There’s something about how it feels modern but also very analog at the same time. 

Yes. My checkbook.

That particular index covers 14 years of vehicles, including some newer models with turbochargers and incredibly complex electronics. I’d be more interested in some data that focuses on the generation in question.

The independent shop I use has numerous customers with 200k miles, and then some. It was one of the reasons I decided to pull the trigger and snag one for myself. Life is too short to not drive an interesting car because a lot of people heard on the internet that it wasn’t very good.

I own this exact year/model truck with 180,000 on the odometer. It has been incredibly reliable, and the only service issues i’ve experienced were a bad original alternator at 140,000 miles, the 1/8" AUX audio jack died, and a bad AC compressor at 170,000 miles. No oil leaks, zero electrical gremlins, and the air-ride

“Legacy of the Wizard” for NES.

Well, not gonna be able to unsee that.

If you promise to stop rear-ending me while you talk on your phone i’ll consider it.

I put the flashy thing in my 1998 Volvo wagon. Took all of 7 minutes.

I shot a bunch of drone footage at N. Wilkesboro this summer. Sad to see it in that condition.
