See, I think the way this went down was different, because getting the block of wood in the store and doing the swap would have been difficult (wearing a backpack in the store is a hell of a red flag).

Sean - their own store says Summer 2016 now: http://www.skully.com/store

The average German auto worker makes twice what the average American one does. While you do have to factor in higher taxes (the rate is 42% above around 52k Euro for single, about 100k Euro household), German auto workers also benefit from universal healthcare and near universal mass transit (no need for expensive…

Elon Musk-speak translation: “Screw George Hotz, I’ll make my own, better self-driving car. And I’ll do it in two years! With blackjack, and hookers! In fact, forget the car!”

Is this really likely to be thrashed the same way as your off-road-only or barely-road-legal bike, though? I kind of feel like something in this category is for the person looking more for a high level of off-road accessibility (i.e., off-roading to actually get somewhere / do something) but also something that’s far…

Thanks. That about covers it - a $100,000 2002 Tii, wow. Figured this was something special.

On the one hand: a thing of beauty. On the other, I am very curious...

Even if it ends tragically, this one’s going to be good to watch unfold. A truly epic undertaking.

Between the tired sped-up fighting and the unfunny crassness, I wouldn’t say it’s terrible, but it takes what could easily be a 4/5 movie for me and drops it to a 3, if not a 2.5. I wouldn’t dare re-watch it, I think the only reason I made it through in the theater is that the movie never, ever fucking slows down for…

The exhaust note will be the furious roar of Jalopnik commenters decrying, for the 18th time, The Death Of Real Cars(TM).

I mean, not that this post is about justifications, but wanting to have this conversation regardless, I agree. The British auto market is probably the most saturated on earth for small sports cars and has been since the early British roadsters of the 1950s. It’s no small wonder he just considers it “meh,” and I say…

Snarkiness aside, I lol’ed hard at this.

A BMW dealer in SoCal (BMW Valencia, I think) does this too. It’s obnoxious, but I bet it’s effective advertising for your typical new-BMW customer.

Authenticity coolness exemption: granted.

From the person who clearly didn’t watch more than a minute of it. He has plenty of valid points and, frankly, Astons DO get far too much of a pass from frothing fanboys who are only concerned with the looks and the noise they make. At the end of the day, that car clearly sucks at being a car in almost every sense. It…

I loved this game, but am terrified to go back and replay it because I know those visuals have not aged well.

With your consent, I can understand that. If someone hacked off a piece of my car, crappy ABS plastic or otherwise, I’m getting a replacement, period.

Well, they actually are valuable relative to their original MSRPs: they’re very popular, they have very little depreciation because they’re reliable, and because they’re reliable, they stay on the road a long time, and because they stay on the road a long time there’s a HUGE market for used parts out there. You could…

The crazy cat ladies of the car world. Nailed it.

“My budget is $11,000 FIRM Ford could totally sell a stripped out Fiesta ST with for that I have my buddy who will flash it to 300hp for free or like close to free and he’s got the hookups on coilovers and we’re going to do a backyard muffler delete because RACECAR and take it out to the drag strip and blow up mustang…
