Not what I expected at all. That driver was both lucky and, from what I can read of the telemetry, cool as a cucumber. Looks like: hard on the brakes, then off everytime the spin was complete and then back on to the brakes moderately in an effort to stop the spin.

as long as the windows were rolled up when you removed the doors, according to the statistics here, i think you’re safe.....

The idea that you need a brand-new car to be able to count on it starting up in the morning has never been less true. $20k (or even $15k, or $10k) is plenty of money to buy a used car you can reasonably count on as much as you’d count on a new car.

This obviously is engineered and designed by people who have never actually serviced a car for even a second of their life.

A Jeep Wrangler is designed to mount obstacles, and it seems to be working as designed. There are a lot of reasons a wrangler should never be driven above 55 miles per hour, this is just one of them.  

Thanks, that was the joke.

We all know car paint is scratch and sniff, so will I get a better deal if I ask the salesperson to show me to his or her favorite smelling cars or if I just set out into the lot with my quarter and start scratching for myself?

My only question is this: how does this new layout help Deadspin stick to sports?

Wow, this scroll-through article format is incredibly annoying.  

Why in the hell is this a slideshow? I realize this probably wasn’t your call, but it is a bad call.
