“We can also build real shit, motherfucker. Have fun picking up them eggs!”

Meanwhile, the Boston Dynamics breakdancing robot team just released a diss video to Optimus and Musk.

Sometimes, they are just fishing to see if they can find a violation or even something stickier like a suspended license or warrant. Unfortunately confirmation bias leads to many officers assuming a car is suspicious because they are too nice or not nice enough for a neighborhood (and even more unfortunately, the…

When on holiday overseas, my favorite thing to do is go to the lounge, grab some food, and drink whatever rail scotch they have available (usually Dewars White Label or Cutty Sark) over some ice. There’s nothing like a stiff drink to go with my pre-made mini omelet and oatmeal in the morning.

I used to live in DC and after buying a new home on Capitol Hill, I would make almost daily trips to Home Depot through a somewhat dodgy neighborhood. On one of those trips, I was stuck behind a car going under 20 mph and decided to LEGALLY pass it on a two lane, one way road, using my turn signals properly, and might…

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…
