1st gear - if Pruitt really believed in small government, then he’d leave the issue alone entirely and let the automakers choose how they want to handle California. They have three options: make all cars meet the California standard, make cars that don’t meet the California standard but can with a software change or…

Ng told Jalopnik that it’s fairly easy to swap this little module out if you know how to sauder.

*solder*

I bet you roll coal all around town with those penis compensators.

It’s okay little buddy, owning a truck that has a lower payload than what is essentially a golf cart doesn’t make you any less of a man. Thinking it’s does is what makes you less of a man <3

You have to keep in mind who the majority of people who actually buy these cars are.

There should be an annual 5k for Mitsubishi

God Bless America.

Why would anyone trust Consumer Reports when <blanket statement shaped by misguided brand loyalty, a grudge based on experience with a 15 year-old model and Internet forum lore> contradicts <hundreds of detailed surveys, good and bad of new cars that people actually took time to fill out>?

When infotainment impacts quality or reliability, I’m out. They need more nuanced ratings. Give me powertrain reliability and some ease of use rating. This current system is bunk.

It’s like my dad says, “you can do anything you want, but you can’t do everything you want.”

Unless it’s to remove the goddamned rollover articles that just make page loads slower and consume more memory. Please fuck with that. Thanks.

Just when you think it cant get any worse, you guys go shit all over it some more.

3rd gear:
Subaru has the right kind of ugliness: the kind that makes their cars look utilitarian. The look of their cars says, “It looks this way because we designed it to do its job well, and then put some body panels on it.” Other cars, like the new Civic Type R, are the wrong kind of ugly: the kind that makes them…

What about the Juke... for being the Juke? And the Leaf for being ugly and entirely underwhelming, just cheap.

I would buy this if it also included an electrically-coupled stick that lets me shift through five hundred different gears like Vin Diesel does.

Come to Florida. They don’t care here. Granted, the feds can smash it at anytime though (in any state).

Where do you live? I contend this is geographically dependent. Here in SoCal, there are some on-ramps that are less than 100-yards long, and they have a traffic-meter at one end. At the wrong time of day (metering active, but not yet full commute traffic), you basically have to drag-launch a car at WOT to get to…

Real shit. Our interstate speed limit is 80 mph and it takes a Mazda2 17 seconds to hit that speed. It takes even longer with one actually carrying people and luggage.

My Name is Jon Gilbert, The owner of the $75 Subie that takes Tuff Trucks, actually my power steering leaked all over the exhaust manifold. thats why it smoked everywhere. The subaru’s name is Chappie. A video of our entire summer adventure can be found here:
