There is a difference between screaming kids throwing all sort of shit around, and kids (and adults) eating responsibly with some occasional messes because we’re driving to grandma’s house 8 hours away and we don’t feel like stopping for a sit-down meal. I make sure that I clean up the car once we get back home. Leath…

Trust me, I also think that it a very inconsiderate move, and I’m surprised and impressed that the electricity theft victim did not escalate things, but I just had to go with the joke since it’s still fresh on our collective minds

That’s why you just park on someone else’s grass and steal their electricity

Are non-canister oil filters that bad? They are accessed from the top and have very little chance of leaking all over the place. Unless the MkV is that bad, i’ve been dealing with a paper style MkIV TDI for 14 years and prefer it to my old 1.8T passat metal can. They are way more eco-friendly as recyclers don’t have…

I have 2 young kids and a medium-large dog that I take on 5+ hours drives. I got the Alltrack with 3 pedals

Would be a really sweet 24 hrs of Lemons theme. Aerodynamics are compromised, but the guards running next to you get to shoot down whoever tries to pass you

Here is a quick counterpoint to your 50% duty cycle right lane marker logic: should autopilot be less accurate in the middle lane, where both left and right markets are dashed? Do you, as a human, perform at a lesser level in the middle lane? If the answers to both is both no, then the algorithm deciding to follow the…

What? A cubic foot of air at sea level weighs 0.08lbs. A cubic foot of air 35PSI weighs 0.19 lbs. A quick napkin equation shows that there is a 14 cubic inch difference between a Tesla 18 and 19 inch tire.

There is also the fact that a very small number of E30 M3s were convertibles

Jason, the only way that I could ever come up with that analogy is if it happened to me. If you want to talk about it, we’re here for you, no judgement

Helmer MasOlle: the most Boston name ever

While I agree with that gold plated oxygen-free cables are bullshit, There can be benefits from a power conditioner if the AC mains are really noisy. If the power supply of your amp isn’t built well and doesn’t generate a very clean DC source for your DACs and power transistors, that noise can get right through. How…

No lowballers, I know what I have

Great username, fits you well

T is unofficially used for Touring

First date with a girl in 99, one of the coldest days in winter. She tried to open the passenger door on my 87 Jetta, the door handle ripped right off the door skin. That was an interesting way to break to ice (pun intended)

No I don’t. I get the print version of jalopnik through regular mail. I send a letter to the editor who then publishes it.

I respect Glickenhaus, but those CAD drawings also look like they’re from the 90s

Because, and as you already know, it takes 10 minutes to fill a tank of premium at any of the what, tens of thousands of gas stations across the country? Electric car charging infrastructure isn’t there yet and therefore remains a huge selling point
