Yes we should because of entirely selfish reasons. I don’t want an electric XR4Ti. It has an IC engine with a turbocharger and large exhaust that I thoroughly enjoy and have no desire to change. Nor do I want a newer car because I do not care for the “you may own this vehicle on paper but its actually a lease because…

No thank you...and stay the hell away from FDs with your heresy until I find a good one for myself.

Dragonrealms (Sister/sequel to Gemstone) player since Christmas ‘96. Yeah I’m admitting to having the same character since I started. Admitting is the first stage of the road to recovery.

You are exactly right and honestly it’s articles like this and some of these flow-in comments from other parts of the site that have been turning me off more and more on Jalopnik.  7500 lbs tow rating is paltry.  It’s nothing.  Our almost 20 year old Chevy has a 12,000 lbs tow rating.  Of course it’s offset by a…

I’m not too surprised they did this.  The old e34 525i with the m20 engine had a warmed/cooled throttle body with a coolant passage that corroded easily.  An old BMW tech with many years of experience told me when fixing the corrosion, “Is stupid design!  Bypass it!!”

“Real farmer”? My grandfather owned a series of GM trucks because they were necessary on our farm and I would never, ever suggest he wasn’t a “real” farmer. I would imagine there are many other farmers across the U.S. who would feel the same way. That was a seriously short-sighted comment to make.

Because I think certain parts of Jalopnik find it gauche to own a fancy truck. They seem to be blind to the certain reasons for ownership.

I’m seeing an awful lot of “could” “may” and theory going on both here and in the linked research opinion (as an interesting “correlation”) rather then any hard numbers. Even the research the opinion is based on is largely “under certain conditions” and is generally theoretical. That’s all well and good as everything…

I just get the idiots who say things like...

I’m sorry, I read the headline and the first thing that popped into my head was Formula E.

Porsche 924, supposedly also a thing in the 928.

Axe that Kia and put the money into something else.  If you don’t know why you have it, get rid of it.

Please get on this immediately.

My sister and I made an effort to watch Suicide Squad when it came out on demand.  We sat there, watched the first hour and at about the same time said,” Yeah I’ve seen enough of this, I don’t need to see the rest..” and shut it off.  It is so freakin dull and pointless.

Yes

Oh...the cool ranch, no biggie. I never liked ranch doritos anyway. Wait...the double-decker is dying?! Bastards!!

There is always a bigger fish.

Chuckles to himself as he goes back to shopping for an old U.S. plant manufactured BMW.

You are wrong.  My sister makes cupcakes and made them professionally before all this hipster “cupcakes are a thing” nonsense.  Besides she makes alcoholic cupcakes on the side, booze-cakes...

Heck I drug a rotary engine home in the back of a ‘98 Dodge Grand Caravan. It wasn’t mine though...I really wouldn’t want one of my own. Or a new SUV. Neither are exactly cool...
