Watch that school traffic after Christmas break for the new Lucid Gravity SUV. I’m no SUV guy but that thing is pretty cool. It ticks a lot of boxes.

The E39 is the obvious answer so I’ll go with something a bit newer but also German- the 2008 Audi RS4 sedan. 420hp at 7800 rpm from an NA 4.2L V8 mated to a 6 speed manual trans. 8 piston Lambo brakes in the front. As long as you have money for the absurd maintenance its great.

Recency bias and all that, but damn if this 6MT V8 supercharged V8 is not one of the best sedans of all time.

There’s no other answer. Shortest slideshow in Jalopnik history. 

I honestly didn’t know that Hoonigan was anything other than a slogan or name. I associated it with Ken Block but that’s as far as it went for me. To discover it’s an actual business with $1.2 billion in debt blows my mind as much as those gymkhana videos. This might be part of their business problem.

There’s no article on it, I had the body shop do it. They filled in the holes with fiberglass and shaped it to the contours of the existing decklid. Beyond my skill, but it turned out wonderfully. 

They made the best kids seats. Putting a Recaro next to a Britax in the 00-10s was night and day, actual side impact protection, snug fit, buckles that snapped firmly to let you know they were secured. Watching the design of Graco and Britax seats shift after Recaro went global for child seats was hilarious, but also…

LOL, a good concept, an absolutely TERRIBLE location. It’s all 2 lane roads out there, even the numbered hwys. There is water on 2 sides, including the way you’d assume most people would commute. Every existing road dumps you onto an already overcrowded freeway with no way to expand, because bridges are the choke…

Find a Jaguar XF Sportbrake or even the old X-type wagon. Then be the cool person at the garden center in between the typical crossovers and Outbacks. 

Thomas and Allito are not “Judges”. They are people who get paid to pretend to be judges who are pretty much out in the open with their true purpose, which is to do whatever the fuck the GOP and their anointed fat orange liar wants them to do. I hope they both die of either hearts attacks or aggressive forms of…

If China was playing fair then I would be against these tariffs. But they are not. Time and time again their companies and government has been caught stealing IP and trade secrets. And with these EVs their plan is to dump product on different markets at below cost in order to drive out all other competition.

Sounds like they gave him a glass of Kool-Aid too....

I’m getting tired of reductivism in design.

The answer for space and towing would be a Sequoia over the LC. Just as good if not better and they’re cheaper somehow!
But for my money I’d go new Mazda! In the budget, warranty, great car, and fun to drive

Orange stain? Sounds like the new “presidential model.”

That fluff piece he did on the cyberclunk was a real turning point for me on Cammisa.

My honorable mention: second-gen (or even first-gen) Mazda MX-6 and Ford Probe. Preferably in LS and GT (2.5L V-6) trim, with the five-speed.

Years ago I was visiting Arizona, and hanging out with some folks I didn’t really know very well when a guy in the group mentioned that quartz had good harmonic properties. I replied “yeah, that’s why they use quartz crystals in watches. When you apply an electric current to them they vibrate at a very constant…

Next up, a racing one-seater, called Midiq 

Worst stop for me or for the cop?
