Musk doesn’t have $170 billion. Yes, he’s filthy rich, but come on here, he doesn’t have $170 billion. When you guys say shit like this, it undercuts your argument. It comes off as you being disingenuous, so what other things are you being disingenuous about that I might not realize?

I’ve always wanted to test the knowledge of past acquisitions and park a 86-92 Lotus in a GM lot.

Not nostalgia. There was a real community here, which was already handicapped a few years ago, until it was finally killed a year or so ago by eliminating all user created content.

Takes me back to the good ole’ days of Jalopnik, when they had more than two decent writers, and the commentariat seemed a bit higher quality. But maybe that’s just nostalgia kicking in.

Hi, Takuro Spirit!

End-user? Is this Silicon Valley speak for driver?

It’s the new and improved Takata airbag. For the next recall, you don’t need to take the whole car in, just the easily removable airbag.

Must have been set to tumble? 

Shame I’m limited to awarding you just a single star. You deserve all of them burning in the Kinja forum skies.

“Between 2016 and 2021, 7,000 crashes in Ohio were attributed to 3,000 unsecured loads, resulting in more than 700 injuries and six deaths,”

I don’t understand how the market hasn’t sorted this out by now.

That’s what I was thinking.  That’s like $500 worth of wood right there.

For all the bullshit reasons cops pull people over, I wish they’d stop more folks with dangerous loads like this. I’ve seen old pickup trucks around here loaded with, and I’m not joking, about 20 full-size wooden pallets. Rear end of the trucks nearly dragging the ground with the damn things stacked 10 high and two…

“either driver Kim Awada nor the front passenger...”

They obviously didn’t yank on the straps and say “yeah that ain’t going anywhere” before they drove off. #1 rule of securing a load.

If they can keep the board, they can easily pay for a new windshield! /s

Are you experiencing low fuel consumption? Just ask your salesman about Stellantis.

I’m not an environmentalist, but I’m also not a fan of wasteful conspicuous consumption. FCA must be the least fuel efficient automotive corporation in the US. Aside from the Pacifica Hybrid, does anything they shill get over 30 mpg?

I've seen this trainwreck on the road. It looks like a Kia Borrego fucked a Chevy Orlando and someone shat a bunch of chrome all over the offspring.
