We all know what this was...

In this case, yes, the Turo insurance should cover this, IMHO (but I would not be surprised if they worm their way out of it). The insured is the owner of the truck, they are in the business of renting them, and it’s not like you can vet who is going to decide to be a vigilante with your truck. So Turo should pay out…

I remember, back in the day when VW was teetering in the U.S. (and possibly more broadly), a dealership manager told me that the new Beetle saved them. As kitschy cool as it is, I don’t think that $70K Bus is going to be able to pull the same trick. I’m a fan, but as I’ve said elsewhere, I really wish they made a car…

I give May, Hammond and Clarkson a lot of credit for knowing when to retire the show. The boys were getting on in years and we could see that the travel and crazy antics took a toll on them physically. 

“Our Man In..” was cancelled.

Found the incel that wants Musk to take his virginity.

Say... you Russian by any chance.  Das Vidanya and all that?

You sound brainwashed by propaganda of Faux (Fox) News, Twitter and the like. None of that is even true. Just one example is that the $750 is the INITIAL payout until a proper claim can be filed. I would recommend you be sure to cast your vote by election day because it’s not looking good for Trump given the turnout…

May is right, it was time to go out on a high rather than deteriorate. I like May and Clarkson’s solo work so they still have creative juice. I haven’t seen Hammond in anything except a Ford Ranger ad, is he doing any shows?

Apply the law.  I am so fucking sick of billionaires and celebs and uber rich assholes pulling shit that the rest of us get the book thrown at us for.  He lied on his form?  Pull his citizenship.  He knew he was lying....then his political contributions are illegal.  Prosecute him.

3rd Gear: The concept of the UAW running a car company itself...

1st gear: who knew that expensive EV that doesn’t perform that well doesn’t sell?

Well the Porsche suggestion made me LOL. But I think he was being serious.

Because consumers are boring and automakers are boring, but mostly consumers are just boring.

Remember that first announcement about the Lightning, the price after the electric credit was going to start around $27,500? Pepperidge Farm remembers and laughs at Ford trying to flog $77K Lightnings. If they want to sell them they would need to bring out a fleet version, or, they could have Xiomai build them for…

Jalopnik editors have lost something over the years. I could see the old recommendations to be stuff like this

If Ford and others really want to move the EV cars, they need to get rid of the dealerships - dealerships will do anything to talk you out of EVs since they know they make their money from gas cars (maintenance, ... etc). Zero interest of dealerships to sell EVs, often crazy markups and just lies about EVs. Just try…

1st: We keep raising the price, but fewer people want to buy it. Why?

Okay, everybody say it with me now:

NP. The build quality on these trucks was excellent, almost 90's LandCruiser class, just a little less posh.
