“police officers readily do, putting their lives on the line to save others”

It’s not just the “tiny fraction of” bad cops, it’s the overwhelming majority of chips who leap to protect bad cops from the consequences of their actions, and who in doing so, encourage that badness.

Dealerships ultimately will be the reason if Genesis fails because their vehicles are pretty great.

I was forced to sign a NDA with Tesla for something they wildly screwed up during their installation of x on our x. While I can’t tell you the specifics, I CAN tell you that they’re a bunch of greedy vampires who’d throw you down a flight of stairs in the hopes that change might fall out of your pockets.

As much as I…

Huh. In college one of my roommates was arrested. Went to eat at a local Mexican place by himself, forgot his wallet back on his desk at the college newspaper office, so the restaurant manager detained him until the police came, who arrested him for misdemeanor theft under $100. He wasn’t booked, just cited, but had…

I don’t know what the market value of these are, I just know that I couldn’t break $100k on a car with those wheels.

It's a wonder it doesn't happen more often, race haulers drive like idiots, frequently in packs reminiscent of the worst of the convoys in the early days of radar detectors. The only trucks on the road more notorious for driving stupid fast than the bullwagons taking beef to the slaughterhouse but at least they have…

“my current biological father”: can one have several BIOLOGICAL fathers during one’s lifetime?

This is some classic “just because you spent a lot of money doesn’t mean it’s worth anything”.

Not happening. HD can throw out any BS they want, but they’re dreaming if they think they will hit that level at their prices. And I’m not anti-electric, but in this country motorcycles are a luxury toy.

Getting a thermite grenade onto the engine block of a vehicles currently occupied by Russian soldiers would be a different exercise altogether. Javelins and RPGs are a better bet.

She’s Russian and the video was shot in Russia. 

Oh, I meant to say in my comment. Rob, NPOND is legitimately the only reason I come to Jalop now.

It’s said to be “bone stock” save for a cold air intake. That’s probably just a half-hour’s work to remove and toss in the trash.

Just further proof the amount of talent the V8 Supercars series has; very rarely do racing series in other countries give those drivers a chance.

I attended a “high school with ashtrays.” And this, sir, is no high school with ashtrays.

Community colleges are rather stricter on spelling and punctuation.

The love for cars and driving just isn’t there with the new crop.  Quite the opposite, in many cases.  A weird attitude for someone who wants to work at a car enthusiast website.

I remember when Patrick told me that you’d be taking over this unit. I thought that the entire site would become a dumpster fire.

I know that felt like a blow to a lot of readers.

Maybe now’s an opportunity to bring Alanis King back and give her the reins and see how weird this place will get? Daily Criss Angel sightings? Even worse pizza takes? I’d read.
