Of course, she wouldn’t have noticed. It seems the ‘weekend desk’ is just a job for those who can write good ad copy. Any automotive knowledge is just incidental.....

What a dumb question. Any extreme condition would be bad, such as trying to drive on a road during a category 5 hurricane. But the “worst”? Worst place? Worst time? Worst road surface? Is this just another of those invitations for people to post pointless crap in the comments? Couldn’t you come up with anything worthwh…

I’m also a cyclist. From what I’ve seen of this bike, it looks about the same as most of the ‘better’ e-bikes sold by major bike builders, except for the following:

Headlights on your design are too low, Torch. Wouldn’t be legal. At least this new Ford design has bucked the trend of adding a lot of extra ‘bits’ on the nose of the car. compared to the previous design, there must be a dozen fewer plastic gee-gaws on the bumper cover; those things that look like vents but aren’t.

Well, obviously this guy is not good at math, or business, either. Or writing, it seems.......

You’ll have to PAY to use one of the most buggy softwares out there? $50 so that you too can spend 10 minutes in the morning trying to get Android Auto to actually work? Wow, what a deal.............

I had a 1978 Volvo 245 for many years, and it had a lot of miles on it, most of them here on the salt-encrusted roads of central and western New York. Things rust around here, and although my Volvo’s structural and body parts held up well, some parts did not. I had a couple steel air-injection lines on my exhaust…

Heck, just go to the dollar theater; you can pee on the floor there....

Yup, the post claimed that ALL AWD SUV’s had 4-wheel steering and 4 wheel brakes, which made them superior to just ‘normal’ cars and SUV’s (which, one would assume that James thought only had brakes on the front, maybe??). I went through James’ past posts, and it seems he owns a modern muscle car, and basically knows…

Honest to god, she had it listed as #1! I’m beginning to think she doesn’t know shit about cars, which would be a odd thing at, y’know, an automotive website. Jalopnik has really gone to the dogs lately; they’ve lost all the knowledgeable journalists, and all they are left with are ‘fluff piece’ authors who probably…

I remember the first time I saw one; I was stuck in traffic behind on. It was a very boring shade of grey. I read the badge....”Chevy Captiva??? Dafuq is THAT????”, I said.

OK, Liz; since you’ve removed the dumbasses post, you can remove my rebuttal as well....

Wow, Liz, what a major fail. All the other posts seemed pretty much spot-on (BTW, thanks for using my $.02 worth), except that you lead with the single most off-base post possible. Not only is James’ premise faulty (AWD with all-season tires might work up to about 2" of snow, but not past that) and possibly dangerous,…

Sounds profound, but I doubt that sole would like living in a pool. Maybe catfish or flounder?

I agree. My dad bought one of these (4-door sedan, though) when he retired; his first new car since he bought the 1960 Rambler sedan...Boy, what a piece of garbage! I drove it only once (to bring him home from a minor surgery), and hated it with a passion. My dad only got 10 years and not even 60,000 miles before the…

There are a lot of good suggestions here, but if you are truly inexperienced in winter driving, these are the things you MUST know:

When I was 18-19, I worked as a dealer-prep guy at an Audi dealership. Yes, there was plastic protector stuff on certain parts of the Audi 5000's that we sold TONS of while I was there, but the bulk of the dealer-prep job was removing a thick coating of cosmolene from the bodywork and glass. This required spraying it…

Since I’m sure that it’s on your list, you really should do a story about the history of windshield wipers. There is a museum in Buffalo that is mostly concerned with Pierce-Arrow cars, but since Trico used to be based there, they have quite a collection of early wiper history, too.

At about that same time, you COULD buy a car that would last you 30 years easily; the W123 Mercedes diesels (240D, 300D, etc), and the Volvo 240 series come to mind. I drove a 240 until it was almost 25 years old, then sold it and kept seeing it around town for another 2 years. But, by the time it was 25 years old, it…

Maybe sell them????
