I'll bet I could fit that into a Fiero!
This is obviously a trick question. VW jettas don't come equipped with turn signals. I saw one earlier today that switched lanes many times, and I never saw a blinker.
The cars look great, of course, but those hosts have the wit of drunk Special Olympians. Let the fart jokes begin.
@Sportwagons, haulin' stuff and haulin' balls: Gotta agree—it's an appallingly stupid law. I live in Portland and work in Washington. My tank is topped and I'm back on the road much more quickly in Washington. Although I'm an Oregonian, it turns out I'm intelligent enough to operate a gas pump.
They installed a "suppercharger" and the car ate sombody. Go figure.
We know they failed to remove his helmet because we didn't all die in a fiery implosion of all space/time.
@jalopnikfan: I'll bet it really hurts when somebody punches you in the mouth.
This article needs appropriately classy theme music.
@Evodico: Pretty sure they'd have to use several fixed-location triangulation devices to augment the accuracy. That's how surveyors are able to get that level of accuracy.
@Baby Beater Benz: Decades ago, gas stations saved money by having their own employees pump gas. I've been told that insurance is higher for stations that allow customers to pump gas (make sense). Apparently the insurance differential was more than the cost of hiring a pump monkey. Now that 48 other states allow…
@Baby Beater Benz: I think this was hilarious. And I live in Portland too.
@adrock265: I enjoy reading Jalopnik postings because the promoted comments are typically articulate, intelligent, funny and well written.
@monsterajr: Actually, the '88 Fiero (which was the last production year) had a completely redesigned suspension. I owned two of the '88s, and they handled fairly well.
It's kinda interesting to see the responses Bob elicits. Most Jalopnik readers think Bob is the coolest thing since the invention of internal combustion (I happen to agree). A small percentage seem to resent his confidence, joie de vivre and willingness to revel in his success.
