I hate when parents let their kid off the leash.

And a pedo.

I’ll be shocked if electric cars aren’t soon the dominant form of Pikes Peak racer. No power loss at altitude is just too huge of an advantage now that batteries have the necessary duration.

That said, I just... don’t care as much about Pikes Peak since it’s been fully paved. I’m sure it’s safer, it’s definitely…

Were they using Autopilot?

5th Gear: China Buying Nice

The “People’s Credit Card” has always been their supply of cheap (slave/child/prison) labor. The recent authoritarian crackdown is most likely an attempt to secure and/or renew that labor supply.

Unmolested, manual, performance-optioned C4's won’t be this cheap for much longer. NP in my opinion.

Most disappointing piñata ever.

It seems like a pretty low number, in my opinion. There’s always going to be some baseline number that we can’t get below, even with full self driving everything. Even trains crash.  

This one counts because it has three pedals.

Normally I’d agree with you, but I’m definitely drinking the T.50 Kool-Aid right now. 

This might be the second worst take in the history of Jalopnik

I think of it more as America’s attic. Everybody knows it’s up there but nobody’s really sure what’s in it.

If that’s not socialism on display I don’t know what is....

Hitting a kerb (not talking about kerb rash caused be parking) puts massive loads on the suspension - even if it doesn’t look bad from the outside, this kind of result is pretty common.

I can see pretty clearly a dent in the lower bumper right in front of the wheel. My professional opinion (I’m an insurance adjuster/arbitrator) is that the guy hit a curb or some other fixed object hard enough to damage the suspension. It looks like the lower control arm broke off from the steering knuckle during a…

Seriously, how many of us are reading this at work and can’t take 5-10 minutes to watch a video? I almost exclusively read this site while I am at work.

I won’t spoil the story for you

I used to go to this place in Atlanta, and if you know it, you know it. It’s called Jack’s Pizza and Wings, right there off Highland. It’s a dive bar that serves pizza and wings, and also super cheap beer. Back in 2009, they were still serving $1 pints of “Old 4th Ward” which I’m pretty sure was just Miller.

No, I have no use for 1400 hp, I can barely use the 300+ I’ve got in my quickest car. The good sounds on the other hand are always welcome.
