14. If it were set in 1996 rather than 1986, that haircut would’ve been in style (or at least as close to “in style” as it’s ever been.

SpaceX’s biggest customer is the U.S. government through NASA. The Federal government probably doesn’t like colorful loose cannons running major contractors. 

Gas engines have deceleration fuel cutoff too. 

The real bad advice is anyone saying it’s at all rational not to consider fuel economy when gas is cheap.

Another way to look at this is that Chappelle is now an opening act. What’s next, local car dealership commercials?

Re: Hidden headlights.

Or they should be. That long-neglected area was just gearing up a renaissance when covid hit so a Grand Prix of the Borscht Belt would be both close to the city and just the thing to put it back on the map again (again). 

As someone who snagged one of the last just before the pandemic, I’m very surprised not to see the Honda Fit on that list.

An intoxication-sensing interlock as factory equipment has to be two things a post-DUI-conviction one is currently not;

I have those Vermont license plates that are so faded the license number is effectively dirty-white-on-white rather than the intended white-on-green. The state will replace it in its’ own time, paid by a settlement with the reflective-materieal supplier.  Didn’t stop the NY Thruway authority from getting my…

At the time the local Barnes and Noble was just starting to carry a few British car magazines, most notably CAR. They were quite adamant that the best model in the Omega “range” was (everybody sing along!) the diesel manual wagon. 

The second volume of the Matchbox Mercury Wagon Trilogy. They also did a 1968 Commuter (think Colony Park sans woodgrain);

Counterpoint; The development costs had to be negligible and the profit-per-unit high enough they may well have sold enough to break even, few as they did.

Can we pivot from the sweaty backs for a moment and talk about how misproportioned this thing is? With the stretch in the wrong place and the extended doors, every single line is now off to some extent or other.

Remember, you have until July 1st to retrieve the Jalopnik Mainframe from Torch’s basement in North Carolina. After that he can either start charging rent or sell it as abandoned property.

CJDR dealers; “We need an EV!”

The whole J-car program had to be moved downmarket almost immediately after launch because they nickel-and-dimed it out of contention with the Accord let alone the 3-Series. 200 extra cc’s and single-point EFI kinda helped but not really.

It’s still an open question whether Musk can run Twitter any differently than it has been run, assuming he doesn’t want to end up dumping what’s left of it to Warner for $10 million in 3-5 years’ time.

I still wonder what happpens if she pops out one more kid and their names end up being North, Saint, Chicago, Psalm...and Scott.

1st; Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken Ford as long as it has to hang out the “Sold Out” sign.
