2008 BMW 135i - $24,000

Conceptually, sure, it’s easy. I was thinking of a busy checkpoint with multiple booths for checking boarding passes and passengers choosing which X-ray machine/body scanner to line up for. Authorities would have to be okay with probabilistic estimates, unless they want to change procedures or add a last-minute…

This left the 914 with a top speed of just 129 mph and a sluggish zero to 60 time of 8.7 seconds.

That would be a good solution. I suspect it will never be implemented as long as airlines are tasked separately with taking the measurements, because you can’t tell who’s going where at the security checkpoint.

A bit of the science behind why some people experience virtual reality sickness: vergence-accommodation conflict.

The situation is not really workable, I think. Of course there are cheaters, and of course innocent people are harmed. By analogy, imagine a tavern with a minimum drinking age and a rule against asking anyone for proof of their age. 

The result was cornhusks clogging air inlets on the Ferrari and both the F8 and the rental bursting into flames and being destroyed.

Open till 10 means open till 10.

The full quote is, “The customer is always right in matters of taste,” which is basically a fuck you to customers.

The R129 is arguably one of the best-looking of Mercedes’ long-running SL line...

Translate “accident” to “unintended collision or other such undesirable event” if you like.

The description of the analysis is terrible. A few sample quotes:

Nice. When I lived in Bavaria, a Leberkäse Semmel (or maybe a Leberkässemmel?) was a treat for breakfast. No egg or other toppings, though, just mustard.

Those little crispy and burned bits are critical to its success.

What a great article. Thanks, Kyle.

On Tuesday August 15th, Paul Harvey, a resident of San Francisco who lives in the area of operations for Cruise robotaxis, told SFGATE he spotted one of the driverless cars sitting at a construction site sitting in fresh concrete with no one inside.

For example, the new fees and taxes imposed by states like Texas could fall hardest on low-income people who can least afford it.

Agreed again. Mentally I divide the current set of Olympic sports into direct competition (races, physical battles, sports with a ball and goal, etc.—basically, what you’d expect if you wanted to hone hunting or fighting skills) and athletic theater (gymnastics, figure skating, etc.—performances that need an audience…

The Olympics are all about human athletic potential, not how good a powered machine works.

This article, about a report from AAA, has half a dozen links to other jalopnik articles but no link to the report from AAA. There’s a balance between automobile journalism and writing for clicks; maybe jalopnik writers could persuade their bosses of the value in the former.
