We have a really terrific fuel already that burns very clean and can be burnt in reciprocating piston engines with very little retrofitting. It’s call compressed natural gas. It’s cheaper than dirt, cheap to transport, and the good ole’ U.S. of A just happens to be sitting on more of it than the middle East has oil.

This is the best, and only valid argument against the cannonball. Well said.

1) I’m 31 with two kids, no debt, and an E550

I’m sure you and I have some things in common, and maybe we’d even enjoy drinking in the same kind of bars around the same kinds of people. Many of my best friends are around your age. But in this instance, I just think you’re wrong. Think about the speeds they had to achieve- they sustained a higher moving average…

I bet you call the cops on people doing donuts in parking lots when it snows.

Oh FFS, spare me the faux outrage. Making a record attempt on less populated roadways is way safer than doing so any other time. This was probably the safest attempt ever made at a cannonball record. Furthenrmore, the original point and spirit of the cannonball run is civil disobedience. Right now, our government has…

2nd gear: Given the amount of editorializing that Jalopnik writers do, I’m surprised you did not mention that Cartels, especially OPEC, are objectively bad. That’s why they are illegal in the better countries of the world.

Don’t type out of your ass on the internet. Too many of us know too much about the things you want to vilify, and the rest have search engines. Private jets run on the same jet fuel as the 737-700 that you fly on when you go catch Nickelback in concert.

Small aircraft with piston engines use leaded fuel though. Except…

LOL do you think they paid $14.99/day for the damage waiver on all those cars?

good looking luxo-barge for $4g’s? It’s a yes from me, dawg.

Honda fits are a nightmare to drive on the interstate, and their luggage capacity is not enough for four people to drive to the airport. Further, they have a hard time making it up to highway speeds by the end of an on-ramp without completely winding out the engine for all it’s worth. These reasons are just a…

Oh FOR SURE! On LinkedIn, everybody’s photo is at least eight years and two kids out of date.

This is a really cool looking car, but $17k for a 25 year old Toyota with 118,000 miles is just silly. The price that people are willing to pay for a good is determined by the costs of compliments and substitutes. A compliment for this car would be a set of F&F DVD’s and some new tires for solo II race days. Neither…

It’s a cool build but I can’t imagine it being any good on the track or on the road. It’s just an interesting exercise in building a car around a couple of great big, heavy motors. IF one wanted to build a two engine Yugo worth driving, one would be better off using a couple of GSXR1000 motors, or something like that.…

Shilling is such a shitty writer, it boggles my mind that he is employed. Maybe under the tutelage of a great editor he could one day become something that resembles a halfway decent journalist, but until then we have Jalopnik.

I’m buying a F-150 crew cab later this year. Want to know why? Because there are only a handful of vehicles that will fit a rear facing car seat behind a 6'2" tall driver.

Here’s your answer: The same reason why about half of all Americans don’t have even $1000 in savings- They lack the discipline to prepare for a rainy day. Disciplined people, and disciplined companies, keep three to six months worth of expenses in an emergency fund. But it’s more fun to buy that designer purse, or…

Easy CP today. Didn’t even have to read the description. 1980's VW is a pile of crap, no matter the condition.

Couple of predictions:
The battery could potentially go under the rear seat, eliminating the ability to flip it up. That could actually help the weight distribution and make the 4x2 model a little better in the snow. It could be though, that Ford designed the new frame with space for a battery.

Also, I don’t think the…

Hey, if you want to read how a real journalist writes about a politically charged topic, read Clifford Atiyeh’s piece in Car and Driver. The writing I see on this website is a complete dumpster fire.
