I visited Flagstaff in February once! The huge fireplace in the hotel’s lobby was cozy. When I was riding through winters, I needed to push and store my motorcycle in the stairwell of the apartment complex to keep it warm enough to start in the mornings. 

Wow, I remember back when I was younger, stupider and poorer I would ride my motorcycle year round. In the winter, I just wore wool socks inside my Doc Martens, snowboarding pants over my pants, extra sweater and a leather jacket. I just used regular winter gloves and a scarf. I would use the engine’s heat at…

It’s cool to see Dcar in the US news. They bought the local track and I have attended a few of their events here in Beijing. I use their app daily as well as sharing videos and pictures of my adventures with cars in China on the platform. They have a good rewards system as well and I get a lot of free useful stuff…

When I first joined, Jalopnik had a Chrome badge that displayed elegance, class, and a bright future. Soon after it changed to a more modern, race and perhaps safety inspired orange font, those were the best and boldest years. Attention grabbing, pushing the envelope of journalism and an, perhaps like a log in a fire…

I completely agree with that statement, I tend to avoid any video with that kind of thumbnail. I had to check my own youtube channel to be sure that I wasn’t guilty of any of that nonsense.

As a kid, I could name every make and model on the road long before I could even read. When I was around 10, one of my parent’s friends, an engineer at Dodge, invited us to a party at his house. The occasion? A celebration for the Dodge Viper. It felt like stepping into a dream. I remember bringing along my…

How do you think I feel when I go to fill up my car with premium after someone just used the lowly regular fuel... I remember when it was only like 10cents a gallon difference, now it’s almost a dollar more, and those 87 users are diluting my premium... ugh. 

Exactly, my uncle, who is an electrician in a Chrysler plant in Ohio, bought a Mach-E last summer. His rationale is that he wanted an electric vehicle from an American manufacturer that he could pay off before retirement.

You’ve got a point there! I just wish they would start to try harder instead of making pickup trucks more and more terrifying to look at.

Unpopular opinion, but as a car enthusiast, I need to admit that there are not many US made cars that can compete with the new concept electronic vehicles coming out of China. Once the stigmata and taboo of the manufactures wears off, and I feel that if those electric cars were to make their way to the US our local…

I’ve been traveling on planes since before I can remember and now I’m already considered middle aged. Most of the flights I take are long distance international travel and the passengers are usually more well behaved but I’ve seen the typical long hair spilling over the back of the chair in front of me and have had my…

It worked on me, I bought a used Z4 in 2009 and still drive it as my summer/ track car, but I wasn’t interested in the Z4 before I saw it featured in the films.

I think the PT Cruiser is OK. A lot of my parent’s friends were really proud of buying them when they first came out, and I was pretty happy for them to have a new car. The singer/ guitarist for my band also used to drive one and said it pretty good for hauling gear. That being said I can put my amp and the hardcase…

I was looking through those slides and realized that I see nearly all of the cars on that list on the streets in Beijing. And I really need a vacation...

As this is a car website I was hoping for more automotive tomfoolery... by the way, I took a brand new set of Brembo brake calipers in my carry on once from the US to overseas. Seeing how I got away with it, I tried again the next year with another set of Brembos for the rear of my car. Those were second hand and…

I’d like to chip in. As a car enthusiast I would love to drive every day. Just getting in my car makes me smile and reduces my stress.

This is the first I have heard of her, but does this read like a mini mission in a RPG to me? A stranger comes to town telling the citizens that they will be educated, how will you drive her out of town?

I’m now a middle aged kindergarten teacher that drives a modified Camaro and plays in hardcore punk and ska bands. To further deepen my main character syndrome I love putting on the Budos Band. Especially songs like Old Engine Oil and T.I.B.W.F.

I have lived in China for 23 year, my wife is Chinese, don’t worry, go ahead and say it, because it’s true. But remember that this behavior isn’t limited to China, it’s just a new thing to the culture, they are just getting into the second generation of private car owners. The first generation was more about having…

I participated in the Beijing GT Autoshow, but it was much smaller. We had very strict rules about what we can do and talked about how to behave before and after the show. Nothing like that happened fortunately.
