While I have never had an issue with driving in the snow, even living in the Michigan, driving a 2003 BMW Z4 with manual transmission equipped car, with no ABS or traction control on all season tires... my worst experience in that car is trying to get up my driveway... lots of wheel spin. Lots of wheel spin, little…
That picture on the Tiburon has the V6 wheels and the short spoiler. Mine came with the other style rims and a taller spoiler on the decklid. I think my obsession with spoilers is what forced my to buy that car. It also had 3 gauges under the radio, I can’t recall what two of them did, but one was displayed real time…
BYD cars are the go to cars for our version on Uber here in, especially in Beijing, and I have yet to see one at the side of the road broken down.
I bought my first car, new off the lot a 2007 Hyundai Tiburon- all black, debadged and tinted windows...
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.
