Erin, you flipping maroon! The package doesn’t add 20 pounds to the curb weight of the car. The entire shipping weight of the package is 20 pounds, which includes the calibration delivery tool that is not installed on the car, but only plugged in momentarily. Subtract that weight, and the weight of the stock throttle…

Dang, Toyota should strongly consider making that Prius kit a TRD option.

This is sad news that they’re hurting so badly. Renting out cars is incredibly capital intensive and tough to do without loads of debt, which means that when the unforeseen happens, you’re severely SOL. 

This point has been made already, but I will make it again: This is a 111k mile car from an era of absolute crap quality when 111k miles was a lot. It’s a great $2500 car though.

If it were complete, I would pay the $8500 asking price. Love, love, LOVE, the color and the body kit.

A couple of writers were close, but no cigar. The correct answer, in my mind, is a used 335 converitble. Or maybe there’s a 435 ‘vert in that price range.

Oh goodness not another “don’t pull doctors and nurses away from coronavirus patients” comment. Read this, and comprehend it, because hospitals are my clients: The vast majority of hospitals in all 50 states, have reduced the schedules of their clinical staff during this virus outbreak. The hospitals, save for NYC,…

Is anybody else seeing a little bit of this car’s profile in the Mercedes-AMG GT?

Boy, that 7 footer is a tough situation. I played football with a lot of 6'5"+ guys and they pretty much just drove pickups. In that price range, you can find an older f-250 4X4. Yes it will have the 6.0 or 6.4 but those motors are actually pretty reliable. In the case of the 6.0 you just want one that has had the…

Agreed! I drive a 2008 E550. If some little elves came and replaced the powertrain with electric motors and the gas tank with a battery overnight, that would be fine. Electric vehicles present an interesting opportunity to move car design forward, and that’s the right thing to do for a lot of buyers. Those buyers want…

Fossil fuels will never be banned.

Yea, if Daimler and FCA merged they could build pieces of shit that are unreliable and require expensive upkeep.

At the risk of sounding biased, this was the easiest CP vote I have ever made. Didn’t even have to read the description, just scrolled down and hit the button.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the bank has their hands so far into your pockets that you cant afford to jerk off.

Yes you are absolutely correct, trying to live as an adult on minimum wage is a fool’s errand. But the minimum wage argument is tired and completely disproven by the laws of labor economics. If the 15 year old kids get minimum wage, by 18 years old, one should have certainly gained the skills and experience to earn…

This is a good price for a decommissioned HMMWV or whatever the hell their acronym is. Older, higher mileage examples that are in worse shape go for just slightly less. Furthermore, if someone wanted to build a rig with a jeep wrangler starting point, they would end up spending way more that this costs for comparable…

Standard shit take of the day by a Jalopnik writer.

The only reason they’re not super applicable to real life is... oh wait the majority of people are doing it. All it requires is that people behave like adults and show a shred of discipline. 

What we’re seeing played out in the comments here is typical. A few people speak the truth and the rest get offended because the truth hits too close to home. This isn’t about politics it’s about reality. If you spend money on stupid shit when you can’t afford it, you will go broke. If you’re already broke and…

Buses, taxi cabs, friends, family members of your church, and yes eve feet are very effective means of transportation if one does not have a car to drive.
I drove my deadbeat brother to work and AA every day for over a year when he got his second DUI.
