A problem is we are experiencing more crony capitalism than anything else.

Indeed; the societal message of these is, “Go ahead and pass me — and be sure to have the rent money in hand by the time I catch up.”

So how do you propose punishing them for traffic violations?

That’s a pretty specific anecdote upon which to hoist your petard, but if I’m car shopping, I want to know if the seller is going to be negotiable or not. Remember that you’re just as much an asshole if somebody finds something uncouth with the sale and you refuse to budge on it. Don’t tell me that you haven’t…

Neutral: Is The UAW Good Or Bad?

I don’t know if this is an attack on people wanting lower taxes but most people who desire lower taxes don’t want basic needs like roads negated, but rather want their taxes spent more wisely.

I would never own a full-sized pickup(except for maybe a SRT10), but warning bells go off when someone starts opining on what everyone else should drive. I can see similar arguments made against V8 ponycars- two inefficient, too big, too powerful, etc. My overriding vehicular ownership philosophy is: What car or…

“Feeling like a 12 year old with a beer” is pretty much the perfect definition of true adult happiness

I appreciate when Jalopnik has a streak of non-political articles. Today’s been going well, so far. Thanks for keeping the streak alive with a great article.

So you’re condoning physical violence for political disagreement?

I’m not a big fan of asset forfeiture laws because of the abuses we have seen, but I could certainly get behind a narrowly applied one in these cases. Get caught doing donuts in an empty parking lot - maybe get a ticket. Get caught flagrantly stopping traffic and causing public disruption for your own fun - lose your…

I came somewhat close to buying a Colorado 6 months ago but didn’t. In the end the thing is just too big. It looks and is for all practical purposes a full sized truck. That and at the end of the day if you get one that has much of anything you’re looking at a $35-$40k truck.

“Hey honey, gotta work on the car today. This should only take me an hour or so, and I’ve got everything I need already.”

Because the NRA has 5 million members. The NRA isn’t an industry group, contrary to popular image, the vast majority of their funds are collected from individual members at $40/year and via the “NRA round up” program where retailers ask purchasers to round a puchase up to the next dollar and give the change to the…

Cancelled my reservation for next week with Enterprise, and now Avis has my business. Also renewed my NRA membership today as well.

It’s like regular luggage, but it’s smart enough to trick you into paying a high markup on unnecessary gimmicks.

I love it. My neighbor has one that he DD’s that was looking pretty rough until he had it resprayed last year.

I’ll put it simple: if you’re going hard enough left, you’ll find yourself turning right.

So what about continually turning left at 200 mph on tarmac translates to driving slow on snow and ice? Not questioning his skill in NASCAR, just saying they aren’t the same skillset.

Note to haters of crew cab trucks: Get over it!
