That has got to be one of the worst gifs ive seen in a while.

Reads more like an indictment of douchebag truck people. Which I am fully on board with

It’s not even slightly hate. Im personally pretty hyped for Rivian and hope they do well. Im confident they are going to do well unless they horribly drop the ball, because there is an entire demographic of people who I think will buy these despite not needing them. Just like the F-150. I dont hate the F-150, but the…

Agreed. But thats not who rivians are for. rivians are for suburbanites who think they “need” a Cummins to drive to the gym. The kind of people who think the mere accomplishment of owning a pickup makes them better than someone who owns a car. the kind of people that would love to own a Tesla, but could never be…

The hot ones are always f*cking crazy, but that doesn’t stop you, does it?

When it comes to technical work, autos win. No one really claims otherwise.  This is allowing you to enjoy rowing your gears where it will spend 90% of its time (the road) and still have control off-road.  Plus there are some tertiary benefits like bump starting if your battery is flat and so on.  

Yeah, everyone knows that Ford will never be able to get significant power from a V6.

The lack of a V8 was a huge mistake. Nobody is going to buy a V6 Raptor.

First Gear (because I have a short attention span this morning):

I’ll give you a star for the first ever usage of “I miss my Malibu Maxx” on Jalopnik.

Volkswagen is really taking charge in the auto industry’s whole “buy a crossover or go fuck yourself” movement, aren’t they?

You have a lot more faith in the voting population than I do.

What that seems to demonstrate is the regulatory “burden” is zero - considering they appear to have put jack stands under the frame of the blue truck so it doesn’t even squat under the load.

I highly doubt the Blazer will sell more than the new Bronco once that is fully rolling in production, I think Ford will be selling every one they can produce for a long long time. I think they really hit a home run, between the Bronco and the Bronco sport they’ll be printing money along side the F150 for years to…

It’s more fun to some people, including me. Wheeling doesn’t need to be about optimization or ease-of-use. It’s an inherently illogical hobby, after all!

Do you not understand how much structural rigidity these things add?

ha! I sent a text to my wife of the baby blue one in the mud with the doors and the top off. She’s a fan as well. This is the first car I’ve been tempted to buy new in a long time cause they knocked this one out of the park and I sincerely hope it does well.

My wife rarely ever asks about new cars. This morning, she saw the Bronco trending on Twitter, and asked how much they cost.

This fucking sucks. I went to high school with Grant, and he was one of those people who literally never said or did a single thing that wasn’t kind or thoughtful. When he made it big, doing the weirdly brilliant stuff he loved, I was happy, because it meant the world was working the way it was supposed to: greatly…

I like how the quote says to roll down the driver side window and walk around to the passenger side to open and close the door... wouldn't a lifehacker, assuming they have power windows, open the passenger side window from the driver's side and just open and close the driver's side door?
