Hopefully we will get the C4 Cactus here in the states for my wife’s sake. For some reason, I get really excited when we are in Europe and see a C4 Cactus and shout “C4 Cactus.” My wife gets tired of me talking about cars all the time and I am pretty sure we are one C4 Cactus away from divorce. Maybe if I see them on…

It’s comments like this that keep me coming to Jalopnik.  Thank you!

Let’s just say I am familiar with those types of non-drivers.

I say NP because I like Subarus and this one is at a low enough price to allow for room to fix up the car. I could see installing a tasteful body kit, spraying it world rally blue, and either swapping the engine for an EJ25 and 6MT from an STi donor or if I really wanted to get stupid, install low compression…

Let me guess, the people in your town also like to slowly accelerate onto motorway onramps so that they are going 20 mph under the speed of traffic when entering the motorway?

I used to work on the same block as the Clinton Park Stables and I couldn’t agree more with Birnkrant’s assessment of the industry as a whole. Horses should not be in the city (or any city for that matter), whether pulling carriages or for police officers because it is incredibly cruel and they live shitty lives in…

I don’t normally complain here but this is a valid comment.  On the rare occasion I watch a video at work, the sound is usually muted so I have no idea what is being said.  I would much rather read the articles than watch videos. 

Yeah, seriously.  Especially Yield signs.  Those might as well say “go ahead and good luck to everyone else.”

I saw another comment stating that Hoboken is mostly gridlocked so it is hard to go fast enough in a car to be fatal to a pedestrian.  That could also be part of the reason fatalities have been historically low.

But that will require actual work to detect the law violators and cops prefer to sit on the side of the road watching their radar/lidar speed readout and of course playing Solitaire on their in-car laptops. Just remember, they are not here for public safety purposes because if they were, targeting aggressive drivers…

I find this a bit hard to believe given that I lived in the area for a few years and almost nobody in Hoboken nor Jersey City stops at stop signs, even if pedestrians are present. I remember all the death stares and flipped birds that were lobbed at me as I used crosswalks with the legal right of way, forcing the…

Fortunately most of the parts I purchased were not too expensive since they built 1.5 million E39s and therefore tons of shared parts.  But every now and then I had to purchase a part bespoke tot he M5 and that is where it gets a bit pricey.  The M5-only door sills are about $300 each and the emblem on the trunk or…

I feel the same way. I feel like having separate controls for acceleration and braking are key to preventing mistakes like this. For the foreseeable future, one pedal driving is not a feature that I want in my car and if it is available I will never use it.

Most of these cars make sense since they fill a niche in a market segment with few options but cars like the Corollacross and K5 make me scratch my head. Sure, they are good cars compared to their competition but there are so many other great options out there that can be had at a discount. If I was in the market for…

My 2014 X5 diesel is the best car I have ever owned, for its intended purposes. I have driven just about every vehicle in this size class from economy cars to premium and luxury cars, and I haven’t found one that feels so much better than the sum of its parts than an X5. Even today, with over 136K miles, the car is…

My wife planned a trip this coming weekend as our first adult trip in a long time and Vegas was on the short list of domestic locations since we hadn’t been in a long time. When I was planning the trip, I had no idea the Vegas Grand Prix was the same weekend but I am glad we dodged that bullet and wound up booking a…

You are probably right. In my experience, when most bullies face resistance, they back off, or get their asses kicked. Most of these assholes are all bark and no bite but are used to having their way because they are rarely put in their own place.

That’s what I’m talkin about! It sounds like a great trip and way more interesting than another weekend in Vegas.

Aside from being an asshole, the politician sure has some balls. If this was back in the nineties, talking to a teamster boss like likely would result in a “mysterious disappearance,” followed by a mysterious reappearance floating face down in the Hackensack river.

The last time I was there was maybe 7-8 years ago so I guess a lot has changed. We stayed in the Venetian for under $150 per night and most other 5-star casino hotels were well under $200 per night. Food and drink pricing was on par with where I live, although I live in a high cost-of-living area. The shows were…
