RIP little Mustang in only your sixth year of service.  

Well there goes my suspension of disbelief in a movie with super-powered heroes and aliens. Maybe the car was sentient and knew it would be destroyed if it drove that day? 

I have taken public transport and been happy that it exists, but the points you make are valid but fall on willfully deaf ears for the boosters of the existing paradigm.   There are also issues with crime, even with the greatly reduced ridership during the pandemic, many trains on my local system (which I won’t shame…

Which of course have intrinsic value not relying on everyone agreeing they’re valuable, because they can be eaten. Wait.

I’ll never get over Macho Grande.

And the art of motorcycle maintenance.  

I’m sorry, you are saying Miata was...not...the answer?! On Jalopnik? 

Word choice matters: “Elon Musk supposedly adding full self-driving to any Tesla owner that wants it.” So, driving lessons?

I think the redesign was much better. Though might not work on a car as well.

Typically the UK models’ gas mileage is reported in Imperial gallons, which are somehow 1.2 times larger than our Freedom gallons, which makes comparing apples to scones kind of challenging.  

Wait until you hear how long it takes to charge an electric car. 

Spridle looking goooooood...

I knew a guy in high school who had a first-gen Corvair, and for some reason, having a full complement of people in the seats, put his 16 year old sister in the frunk for a short distance across town. She had an identical twin so I guess worst case scenario he had a spare. 

For sale. $800,000. I know what I have. 

James Dean had a few words to say about the topic. The current thinking was that he was not in fact speeding in his Porsche 550 Spyder when farmer / student Donald Turnupseed pulled out in front of him, but the last line or so of Dean’s interview here are still chillingly prophetic.

Surprisingly difficult to re-assert control once you’ve lost it, and to go merrily over several lanes and a median at even relatively low speeds. Even if your tire pressures are spot on. Heck, even F1 world champion Mike Hawthorn died in a wreck in his Jag while driving too fast (likely racing) in the wet, normal…

Had the same thought; Train sort of messed that up here with “took the highway to the 1,” in “Save me San Francisco” (also, “coulda took?” But rock ‘n roll license for bad grammar, so I let them slide for the “the” too as it’s a good tune.). Bonus Jalopnik / Graduate version Alfa content.

Napa was probably his intended destination, but he didn’t get that far as he lost power shortly after takeoff, and 580 does not extend up over the Carquinez Strait. I think another plane had a similar landing on a different stretch of 580 a year or so ago, and one landed on  a highway near LA not long ago too.   It…

The Button Barricade is interesting and I like physical buttons as much as I dislike screens in cars, but it also is too far out of the field of vision. Also while I’m sure some passengers will be grateful for the separation from the driver, others and the driver might actually want to hold hands or otherwise interact…

The man casts no shadow so he is a Nash optional “Stay Safe Beach Beau” cutout who folds up and stores in the trunk. Lila and Mabel are able to take their lunch hour at the reservoir in peace without being approached by mashers. Of course they have to carefully position the car and umbrella so passerby can only see…
