The Amazon is..... meh? I feel like if you wanted to go Volvo it’s P1800 all the way. And the NSX and GTI..... no. The NSX for sheer unobtanium quality is off. And I can’t get behind the GTI because..... I’m sorry, I just can’t put “fun” and “GTI” in the same frame of reference for some reason. That might just be…

Personally, I’ve had a few cars that I feel were dishonest with me.

This, all day, err’y day.

This is a really great story. First races are amazing, and the way you parlayed it into what you do for a living is pretty awesome. How many people can REALLY say they’ve had this kind of experience? Dare I say.... you’re living the dream.

Those turbo Grand Prix are badass. And I’m a firm believer you’ve gotta have a first car that’s just sketchy enough to be fun, like the ‘92 Mazda Protege I treated like a rally car on every back road I could find. That’s how you find out both what a joy AND a responsibility driving can be. That’s also where you find…

Piggybacking off your idea, it DOES look like it has a low roofline.... and not the highest ground clearance. Maybe a last-gen Ford Ranger?

Been saying it for years: only idiots go to Sheetz. Won’t see this garbage happening at a Wawa.... Except maybe in Delco.

I’m sorry, I just wanted you to know I fell out of my chair laughing reading “you need a hug, buddy?” in Lester Holt voice. I'm a simple man with simple tastes. Anyway, carry on. 

Oh my sweet Borg-Warner, I’m dying inside. For some reason I always assumed the clientele of Jalopnik was substantially of higher regard than subscribers to Archie Comics and Manly Man’s Magazine but I see I was mistaken. Not to be cliché, but I weep for our future. Also, Elizabeth Werth’s articles and Alanis's stuff…

Can’t be Lego Mustangs. No Lego pedestrians are being forced to dive out of the way.

Have the same-ish thing on my Ford and yeah, it's fascinating, especially in snow. Knowing where the power is going and how your vehicle compensates under certain circumstances is enlightening to someone who's always been used to 4WD or 2WD only, as opposed to smart 4WD or whatever the hell they call it. 

Ran when parked! $399!

Reading this was like watching Sonny Corleone pull up to the tollbooth. Just “NOOOOOOOO” and then it feels like you’ve been kicked in the gut.

Ryan Felton’s work on Goodyear is the best journalism not NEARLY enough people know about, and the part where Goodyear essentially asked a judge to call him and go “C’mon, man... just be cool” is the stuff of legends. But his opinion on CDs being the ultimate car listening experience is just insane, so I guess he’s…

See now, David, THIS would be a good investment. Because when one engine inevitably cuts out on you there’s still another one there to keep you goin’. Also, shiny.

Wait, I haven’t heard about this Snowball Derby scandal. Whassgoin’on?

Welcome to Pennsylvania, where PennDOT is just a myth, and driving in November snow is a time-honored tradition of f*ckwittery and dumbas*ology for “everyone on the damn road but ME!”. Here in the western ‘burbs of Philly, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than a Main Line soccer mommy in a brand-new Audi who, while…

For everyone who was hoping that Jalop was going to stay out of politics, I ask you: how can it NOT, when literally EVERYTHING ELSE is involved as well? Politics are inescapable. But if you ARE one of the privileged few who have managed to avoid them on an everyday basis, how’s life at the bottom of the ocean?…

Holy schinkey. Every part of me is hoping this is just a bit, while every part of me also knows this MUST be one of my neighbors. 

So what you’re telling me is, there’s an awful lot of BMW parts laying around Finland.
