You know, maybe the speed wasn’t quite the same, but the jump that Adam Ferrara did in a 1976 Cadillac coupe for TGUSA seemed a lot harder in the landing, with of course a completely inappropriate vehicle and setup. I think he hurt his back a little bit too. The car’s frame broke, which maybe saved him from more…
Props to the person in the dark colored SUV on the right who manages not to panic and thread the needle to get away from the spinning Porsche without overcorrecting into the path of the other vehicles.
Let’s all take a moment to enjoy Raph’s finest moment: The Quail Implosion.
Agreed especially about all the lines. And wow that Hyundai is the front end version of the BMW i8 excreting a 911 trick. Looks like the lower car was eaten by the top part, or is wearing it like a hunter might a wolf hat. The headlights on the 7 Series remind me of the Jeep Cherokee, which is a bad thing, you don’t…
A “supercar” with 217 horsepower? No. Just no. Interesting weird non-supercar, though. Pardon me while I fire up my 300 hp hypercar.
I converted my 2001 XK8 to semi-manual operation after the header leak / green shower (the fluid did not stain anything). There are threads on the Jagforums site that tell you how. You get special high-pressure caps to seal off the lines to the actuator/ locking system, about $30 or so. Then the top will still raise…
It’s really a Captcha and you have just proven you are not a robot. Now, you see a tortoise on its back in the desert…
That’s the G button. Also noteworthy is that the C button really is “control-cut.” What happens to your drone if you drive into a tunnel?
If all of the Jalopnik staff are replaced, is it still Jalopnik? There’s a famous analogy out there somewhere, but I just can’t put my finger on it.
Totally heard the line in Hugh Grant’s voice. Rory’s just being “re-distributed.”
I was scratching my head at that too, and then decided he meant the “new” Tesla Roadster that keeps getting pushed back. Especially as the 200 or so HP original Roadster can’t be realistically compared to the Veyron at all.
I was filling up at a gas station just north of Big Sur and a small box truck was filling up with diesel. The driver told me the stations in Big Sur were out of diesel, and so he had bought some vegetable oil to get him out of there. One of the great things about the Chrysler Turbine cars was that you could put a lot…
I’ll bet he feels pretty sheepish about it now.
The amazing thing to me is that you are right, but if you said this even five years ago it would have sounded as crazy as the Q stuff. Apparently the trick to getting away with something is being so outrageous the average person would never think it could be true. And wouldn’t want to believe it was true.
Ford C-Max: For the guy who can forgive a little lying between friends / carmakers as to how much mileage they get.
