Sadly, I do not. I’ve sued a couple wineries, though...

I may have actually told them not to swerve for anything below the hood line - just didn’t want to rile up the pet lovers. If it’s between the bottom of the bumper and the top of the hood and you can’t safely stop, accelerate.

I didn’t tell the majority of the staff until this week, and David is traveling, Raph is out on some much needed R&R, and also just I am unimpeachable. 

I haven’t left anybody in any relationships in a few years! I’m sorry if this is hard for you!

Thank you, but please take care to give the new folks the same good faith. Lawrence, Mercedes, Jose and Adam are probably the most creatively diverse four writers we’ve ever staffed at once. They alone share more potential to grow Jalopnik in ways we haven’t even seen yet than I ever had. They’re backed by the same…

Damn it, stop leaving people!

Not enough people left on the ship to do a going away post?

Justin - I will always remember during the pandemic trivia nights that there was a question about the first car James Bond ever drove. I had recently watched the movie and remembered it was a Sunbeam Alpine. But NO, you were quick to point out that he drove a 1957 Chevy before that, even though it wasn’t technically a…

Multiply that number by 20x and you will get a closer number. Hyundai’s recall will cost about $11k per car on average, and they are fighting with LG over who pays for what and how much. It’s massively expensive, which is why GM was trying its best to avoid having to replace batteries.

I won’t swerve for anything smaller than a deer and even then, it is 50/50. If you have good brakes/tires and no one behind you, modern ABS should save you from most incidents depending on speed and environment.

Just replace ‘happy fun ball ‘ with ‘Chevy Bolt’

I wouldn’t even swerve for the cat, if I’m honest. I’ve ran over a coyote before. It has got to be taller than the hood before I’ll start consider swerving, anything below that and it is more dangerous to yourself to start swerving than it is to just hit it. That is what I was told at Drivers Ed. I did ask if that…

One of the things I stressed with my kids when teaching them to drive was not to swerve for anything smaller than a cat. There’s plenty of squirrels, not worth potentially running off the road to save one.

There’s a software setting to tell it what % to stop at. By default it should charge to 90%, not 100%. 

If you click on the article it’s one of the oldest homes in the US and no, I didn’t mean descendants of Lincoln.

Not sure how much of the original house is still there. New roof, new windows and doors, new siding, electrical wiring is definitely new. But the Lincoln’s hammer is still original (on it’s third head and fifth handle, though....).

If the house is that historical and important, why’d they build it so close to a street?

Yeah, the dealership experience means you pay a scummy dealer markup, a BS extended warranty, an overpriced maintenance plan, and some sneaky fees tacked on while you’re not looking. The money goes to professional deceivers and obfuscators, and the experience is compared to pulling teeth. Oh and that sweet, sweet…

Yeah, I haven’t seen anyone claiming Tesla is benevolent*. Just that if you’re going to get screwed, you might as well be screwed by the people actually responsible for the car - not some dipshit who adds no value.

*Disclaimer: I do not spend any time at all talking to Tesla fanboys, so I’ll admit my sample is skewed.
