Yet another Alfa story that can’t be written without the “P” word. Officially my Volvo is painted “passion red”, and I’m surprised Alfa doesn’t already own the copyright. Still, it’s a rare sunny warm day here, so NP.

Until COVID and Netflix conspired to ruin everything, I went pretty regularly to Montreal, always staying in dive hotels and eating on the cheap. With 4 north American races an Netflix stumbling, F1 will overplay its hand and the prices will hopefully come back to earth. In the meantime I’ll see you at Road America!

The (four wheel) Morgan is a brilliant answer.

The boat show wasn’t much of a thing on the TV broadcast; I’ll take your word for it. Contemporary F1 TV production favors tight shots of cars surrounded by concrete barriers and catch fences, so all races kind of look alike on the small screen anyway. The big joy of attending races in-person is context: you get to…

The diesel makes this special, but not “good-special”. The smashed door also makes this different than the other BMWs in the neighborhood, but not in a way you really want. Honestly I think this this is about market-correct, but I’m still voting ND.

Love the Juke (and the bravery needed to bring it to market), but 2WD and stick means this one should be on the cheaper end of the spectrum. ND.

First time posting on Jalopnik?

Yes, it’s a very pretty Porsche, but what’s up with that lead photo? Is there some sort of relationship implied (between bather and car)? Have they given up on human companionship now that they have this grey Porsche? (I mean, I would..). Does the car just kind of roll back into the rec room when it’s had too much…

I mostly read Jalopnik for the writing. Which requires writer worth reading. Many of whom can no longer be found on Jalopnik. So:

What this guy says. 

Define “fun”

Finally! A luxury SUV with a bunch of seats! And I can get one in metallic grey-my favorite “color”. This is indeed a happy day.

This is basically the plot of every episode of Top Gear. If I ruled the world Ford F-150s would all be replaced with these.

..and were three of those faultless Range Rovers service loaners?

I’ll wait for the Grand Tour episode, thanks.

What a coincidence! I am also selling anything I purchased last year for 20% more than I paid for it because: Inflation. This includes a pair of shock absorbers, several low-milage slot cars and most of bottle of Jamison. Not interested in lower offers at this time.

My last VW was not not mediocre at all. I loved my Jetta TDI wagon. Until VW had that whole diesel cheating thing. Which sucked. Note how in the first sentence it says “My last VW”? Indeed.

Unless they live where I do (Minnesota). Then the range will be like 80 miles (or even less; I like to turn the heater on when it’s 10 degrees out). Assuming you want at least a 10-20 mile “cushion” the real range would be maybe 50-60 miles, which is not enough to justify 30K

Ford Model T: These things were crap.
