You’re one of those lunatics who owns guns for the stated purpose of “preventing government tyranny,” aren’t you? If it’s all a “con” like you suggest, the bad news is that you’ve already lost. Hellfire missiles are a thing and they can be stuffed up your asshole from 25 clicks away.

Sigh, please don’t get all libertarian on me. I’m not going to have a philosophical debate about the right to freedom of movement. The reality in which we live is one in which driving is very clearly a privilege. It is illegal to do it unless you’re granted permission. You are obliged to buy products from private…

I know it’s really hard for some people to grasp the concept, but how about avoid touching the driver’s seat of a car if you’re anywhere between buzzed and shitfaced? I love booze and I love cars. I never ever combine the two things. It’s totally possible and I have no sympathy for anyone looking for an excuse. You…

There IS a replacement for displacement, and it is turbos. <3

I won’t disagree that liscensing in the states is total shit. I would like to see the improved licensing involve a demonstrated ability to control different drive-train layouts in emergency manuevers and weather conditions, so endorsements to drive those vehicles in those conditions could be issued. And maybe the…

Like the plane, not the slab of American malaise. :p

I can’t understand why they drive drunk in the first place. My honest, sincere belief is that those dumb enough to do it should forfeit their license and car at the first offense.

So much good stuff smashed up by one fucktard. :(

This, but I would also argue that we should have licensing levels. You should have to prove some amount of compitence to own a RWD car. I’m sure automakers would hate this idea though.

It’s a really poor idea to be insane on a plane these days. Everyone is very likely to jump to the conclusion of “this is a terrorist” very quickly and do what needs doing to ensure that they’re not part of the next one. While it’s unfortunate for those with genuine issues and no malicious intent, the air-rage…

Showing your true Jalop stripes by being concerned about the weight distribution of the passengers on the plane. Seriously though, that sounds absolutely terrifying. The only solace is that in post-9/11 America, it seems that people are pretty quick to try and shut shit down if it gets wild. :/

This. They often crush the person in front of them into the dash, because the seat can collapse if it’s hit hard enough. Not wearing a seatbelt is asshattery.

Seconding your sentiments of “fuck this prick.” I had someone shoot my windshield with an air rifle as I travelled down a highway, and it definitely catches you off guard. It was loud and spider-webbed the glass pretty well, right in front my face. I thought it was an actual gunshot at first until I realized it didn’t…

It’s not even faster, really. I find that my local stealership not only can get me a better price, but because they’re familiar with my weird car, they can take care of it in about half an hour. It’s always the same people working there, so there’s also a trust component that they know what they’re doing and are…

FATALITY

It seems like a simple design just ages better. I think the gallardos look better than almost everything else, since the lines are simple and clean. They allegedly not a total nightmare to own, either.

The rage I feel at seeing that ducklipped asshole’s stupid smug face over and over again on every story is overwhelming. We need to stop giving trash like mass shooters any semblance of recognition. People end up remembering these stupid fucks and forgetting the victims. The only punishment we can render unto a mass…

Plenty. Let’s not make suppositions about the interests of other people just because they might nor be shared. Jalopnik is fun

Surely you’ve seen the video ofpeople jumping out of cars sliding down an icy hill toward impending collisions? It’s madness - the safest place to be is in the big metal box.

Old post, but there is a problem with this statement. Even if a car is using bulbs that blast out UV-spectrum light, it’s not reaching your eyes. The quartz capsules of the inner element of the HID bulb block most of the UV. Then the light passes through an often polycarbonate projector lens, outter lexan assembly…
