Where here skin? Huh?

I also won't say anything about it. Not a peep.

In all the comments, no mention of the 1st gen Honda Insight? The magic boffins at Honda utilized pulses of the IMA hybrid motor to smooth out the inherent vibrations of the 3 cylinder engine. The Insight, along with the S2000 were the last great cars from a now anodyne car company.

Some years ago Jack Baruth obliquely mentioned the Fleet Foxes and as I think he's kinda cool what with his racin' and womanizin' and all I decided to check 'em out. I'm glad I did. Usually the auto-journos have appalling taste in music but Murilee and Baruth seem to be exceptions. Oh, and maybe Hardigree ...

I taught Engrish in Odawara back in '99 - '00 and marveled at how essential vans like this are for the Japanese youth stuck at home with nowhere to go on "date" night. It's kinda difficult to properly get-it-on with your noisy Gārufurendo (girlfriend in Japanese) when the walls are rice-paper thin. So a van with

You had me at Whit Stillman - NO SI! OTAN GO HOEM YANKEE PIGS DEERS!

With advanced timing, reed valve, 20mm+ Dellorto carb, expansion chamber and big-bore kit one of these becomes a surprisingly fast 'ped. Totally jalop if you axe me.

I looked closely and I didn't see a fixie. Unlike the dumb hipster bike of choice, this one has brakes and gears. I dig it.

+1 for being unflappable. -1 for not counter steering towards the skid. Sheesh.

Really? This should induce me to watch Top Gear USA? I'm outta here.

+1 for not being overdubbed with shitty fucking dubstep. Now that you put it that way, I guess it's not all that bad. I hate that crap too.

Was he wearing the video camera like a necklace and just letting it swing randomly around? My curiosity about this was quickly replaced by irritation that it was filmed on a potato - necklace.

When cops do bad things, it's the taxpayers who pay the fines. Cops should face a lifetime garnishment of their wages as well as incarceration so that they shoulder the burden of their actions. Organizations don't feel pain or remorse, humans do.

Who gives a flying fcuk how Hardigree became aware of this story? This is an unimaginable tale of police brutality that needs to be shared in the Jalop community. As I read the pdf of the case I discovered I was so angry I had to take a walk to cool off. Any cops out there reading this? Quit your damned jobs and do

My year long stint in Nippon started in Odawara where I'd occasionally see a comically small Japanese guy driving a lifted, black crew cab F250 through the tiny, medieval era noodle shaped streets. Lots of Yakuza retire there too, I've no idea why. Their offspring like classic American iron, with 70's Mexican flair:

What was he thinking? Must've been a big paycheck ...

Can't delete a reply per Kinja rules, sorry: http://help.gawker.com/customer/porta… However in the interest of placating anyone offended by a photo seen on every news outlet around the world, here's this:

You nailed it - I knew I'd seen that same pose of ironic mockery somewhere ...
