The United States intelligence agencies were warning Ukraine for months that a Russian invasion was imminent and that it wasn’t a question of if, it was when. Yet they still parked this miracle of an airplane at an unprotected airstrip in Ukraine to perform maintenance and updates.

Sigh. 

Surgical insertion implies an expectation of permanence, thus my dubiousness. Undoing the procedure isn’t as simple as chucking your old Blackberry into the bin.

I’m fully aware I can use mil-spec language here, thx anyway.

Being old enough to have firsthand experience with the extraordinarily rapid cycle of tech obsolescence, only an ID 10 T would surgically insert a chip in their body.

Do you read The Root just itching to troll your way towards some sort of relevance - ‘cause this ain’t the path to that.

That Mini is way too big. She needs a Peel P50.

I love fast cars. Just sold our ‘90 Corvette w/ 6 speed + a Borla exhaust and now there’s an Abarth in its place. The Abarth rumbles, but it doesn’t make the g*ddamned stucco fall off my walls when started.

Let’s install air raid sirens on our cars and drive around at 3am. You know, for the lulz.

Anyone got Beef Supreme’s home address? I hear he likes der noiz when sleeping.

It’s easy to dismiss valid criticism when you’re not the one falling out of bed at 5:30am every day because your neighbor is overcompensating for being hung like a cranberry.

It looks great, no doubt, but:

People restore the most incredibly mundane and banal cars for sentimental reasons. It’s shocking that Forrest is unaware that people have sentiments.

Our ‘90 which we recently sold to a 25 year old guy crushing the cliches about Corvettes and Boomers in white sneakers. Ours too was a 6-speed: a sublime transmission. I wouldn’t fret about a couple upholstery tears or a wonky center console, these are easily remedied on eBay or LKQ, trust me. 

The paint job on that rad Z600 actually made me LOL, somehow it works for me.

I regret letting our ‘90 Corvette convertible go last year, its 6-speed manual was a joy even though the torque of the LT1 usually meant a shift wasn’t necessary. Don’t break the bank and obligate yourself for a decade of depreciating financial liability when you could get a modern classic like this.

We’ve been loving ours since 2013, it’s absolutely a future classic just like the Honda CRX is today.

This was straight-up Attempted Murder.
Prosecute him accordingly.

So Jalopnik stoops to ‘Whataboutism’ now? Yes, unlicensed dirt bikes and ATV blasting down sidewalks are definitely a problem, but you can’t pretend it doesn’t merit enforcement because there are other problems to contend with.

I’m pretty sure his enforcement guys can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Back when they debuted I wanted to interrogate the buyers WHO PUT YOU UP TO THIS? WHY WOULD BUY THIS?

Honda invited us Gen1 owners to the big Gen2 reveal and I couldn’t make it. When I read the first reviews of them I was in disbelief and quite relieved I hadn’t road tripped to California to witness that sadness…

The second gen Insight was an egregious example of phoning one in. It was a 10% smaller Prius with 10% less efficiency and initially with NiMh chemistry batteries. I owned three 1st gen Insights, one with a 220hhp K20a swap and can attest that after the monumentally great engineering of the first one, the second was…

I have a tendency to strafe interstate on-ramps and off-ramps as it’s one of few chances to mostly “safely” explore the realm of lateral G. I wonder if he was doing the same and was clipping the apex only to discover a woman there.

All the way to Düsseldorf, Germany my friend.
