Jason, you nearly re-enacted the classic Minutemen album cover for Double Nickels on the Dime. Were you near San Pedro?

As much as I think HDR photography has jumped the shark (looking at you Wired Magazine) there are applications where it's technically appropriate. With the range of lighting in tunnels going from klieg lamp blinding to inky black shadows, I'd surmise that its use here was warranted.

It comes with both a tool kit AND hand warmers in the back glass for when you're pushing it!

Like so many things in life, batteries represent a compromise. The mining for rare earth elements isn't a blip on the radar compared to strip mining in W. Virginia but all mining is to a degree harmful. The trade off is that battery chemistry will evolve and improve with time and sources of electricity will gravitate

"Devastating to the environment"? When will you guys realize you're regurgitating bullshit fed to you by those who profit from disinformation and repeated by idiots? Li-ion and Ni-mh chemistry batteries are here to stay, they're a fact of life, get over it. They don't go to landfills, their chemistry is too valuable,

Now playing

It's not "Dome". It's "Do" ... "Me". Got it?

Best in many, many moons indeed.

+1 Imagine the 'Bieb planting a Canadian flag on the sun's surface. Priceless.

You're a good parent. Most IPA's taste like squishy, rotting grapefruit.

BMW Clownshoe. Not very respected upon its debut, very much appreciated in its afterlife.

Liters? Who measures small blocks in liters? Liters are for soft drinks.

Hmmmm ... looks suspiciously like a Mosler GTP, another "super"car with a plebeian drivetrain.

I'm in your corner on this one. I've seen one of these and it's a brilliant homage or perhaps outright larcenous tribute to the original. Put a modern turbo Buick mill in it and own the road. But the Fiero interior is a disaster, just uhhh-gleeee. This enterprising fellow retrofitted a Miata interior + dash into his.

Brilliant - despite being a fan of Vixen I'd never have put 1 + 1 together!

Far out. I live in (redacted), a liberal city full of awkward hipsters on fixies. Secretly I'd like to punt 'em in their yarbles ... but they never slow me down. I concede that some Jalops might have weird daily commutes that parallel bicycle thoroughfares, but in all my travels I've yet to have my buttons pushed.

I'm anti-oldirtybootz.

Prior to Mercedes’ outright purchase of AMG, the German tuner created what is today credited with being the first Mercedes Hot Rod- colloquially known as the AMG Hammer. That W123-based car smacked down with a hand-built 5.6-litre V8, that, depending on tune, would put out between 350 and 400 horses. That made it,

BOMB #20: Intriguing. I wish I had more time to discuss this matter.

Pffft. William Shatner can't hear you over how awesome he is.

Just because you have not yet perceived a loss of privacy does not mean that it isn't happening - and does not mean that this seemingly small loss of privacy won't accelerate into something unexpectedly Orwellian. If we don't stop this now it will morph into something much more intractable and suffocating.
