My $8000 used Abarth finally broke after six years of joyous hooning. Did I really care that the passenger side “tripod” cv axle could only be obtained from the dealer and it + installation cost me $1100?

Make sure I’m on the wedding invitation list, plx & thx.

“its profits last quarter fell 55 percent”

Yet this fascist, antisemitic man-child still wants Tesla’s board of executives to just give him tens of $$$ billions as a bonus so he can keep rage-tweeting?

Cool.

That’s a deep cut my friend and a lesson to avoid the daughters of air traffic controllers.

Aesthetically it’s compromised but mechanically (chef’s kiss) bellissimo! Had they made this without the silly rocker panel BS and just gave it black fiberglass flares and a restrained airdam and some vaporwave stickers down the side I’d have bought one for sure.

Our ‘05 Mazda B2300 (Ranger) was a loyal dance partner.…

That Soest Kraftwerk video is bananas!
If you like the writing here then you must love the writing over at TheAutotopian.com - they’re talented wordsmiths for sure while Jalopnik languishes and is a bit rudderless.

Stick with this video and you’ll see us drive a blistering 80kph on ze Autobahn - in the right lane. ;^)

Florida interstate traffic is a shit-show. Absolutely nobody abides by the Slower Taffic Keep Right mandate, it’s anarchy. I love driving my nimble Fiat Abarth fast but then I see maniacs driving crew cab F150's swerving through traffic and passing us on our frequent Tampa —-> Orlando I-4 trips. On Germany’s Autobahn…

So a Chubbatruck is the vehicle version of Truth Social stock? Cool.

Won’t matter to the Musk stans, they won’t be deterred in their ardent sniffing of the man’s shorts.

I don’t see them as “bad” either. Perfectly adequate might be a better description, if adequacy is your thing.

Wait, what?? Is that what happened? What a bunch of butthurt children they are!

Also: that’s one of my favorite episodes of Home Movies. I heart Coach McGuirk & his weird obsessions.

True dat. On a totally not related subject, is there where your screen name came from?

WTF is “wholistic”?

Good point. As much as I’d like to push Cruz off a cliff, it’s DEM lawmakers that risk being murdered while traveling.

Well at least it still has its original stere- oh never mind.

These click-through slide shows are a pain in the ass and are nothing more than a way to gin up page clicks.

+1 on everything you noted. I was a technician at Dell in the mid 90s and we loved playing with what was then called the “Frauenhofer Codec”: a DOS executable that ran as command line. It would take two or three times longer than the song length to encode them on the Pentium MMX and later II cpu’s of the day at…

Despite my extreme disgust with all things Musk, I thought everyone knew that the Chubbatruck has rear wheel steering: it’s just deflected sideways.

I’m forever impressed with Musk’s infinite adeptness at authoring or committing some new reprehensible outrage literally every goddam day of every f*cking week of every ... etc and so forth.

I’m ridin’ on twelves b*tches.
Am I under-compensating?
