Have we considered just learning to live with lower birth rates until the world gets back down to the less crowded four-five billion again? Apart from anything else, it’d be better for the planet and for the workforce who would be able to get paid more again.

Subaru makes a great car and I’d be shopping them were it not for one glaring deficiency: The transmission. I cannot stand CVTs. Optimally, they would offer a manual in everything but that’s not the case, so I’m out.

This. Dear fucking god the brightness of some headlights is deadly dangerous bullshit.

I’m going to stick my neck out for the 2nd generation Nissan Frontier. While obviously not the most powerful, and definitely not without its own issues (then again, what truck is without these?), it came in several different configurations and offered plenty of power and even modest reliability for a…

This article could use an animated GIF.

How are you going to write this article for Jalopnik without including photos of the garage? 

The Tacoma is a dog ass terrible pickup, the cult following is just that- a cult. Gutless engine, bad transmission tuning, big time dive & squat from the suspension, cramped cabin, awful infotainment.... but at least they’re expensive.

I’d also like to throw all Teslas in the ring. In my experience, they drive just…

Cameras are cheap. Memory is cheap. WHY, exactly, aren’t police vehicles bristling with cameras?
