If you're talking about about Bill 203, I just did, and there is no mention of imprisonment . Huge fines and licenses suspensions, but not jail time. Unless I read it wrong. http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/about/…

I'm no law expert and would like to hear such professional input, but the Canadian law says: "The bill uses the expression "race with another motor vehicle" (emphasis added), which implies that two or more vehicles participate in it. The proposed definition therefore does not seem to include a race against the…

Did you actually read your link? He's not a terrorist, murderer, rapist, arson, name it. I don't think any of his offenses constitute a crime in Canada, hence I don't see them extraditing him. I sincerely hope they don't. Just like most folks here have said, I don't think that his driving is any more dangerous than…

Not sure if it was mentioned: many cars have the parking brake integrated in the rear calipers. It order to compress or 'reset' the caliper, you need to rotate the piston as you are pushing it in. Auto parts stores rent the tool for free. The tool comes with a bunch of adapters, make sure you use the right one. It's…

I honestly got a file cabinet as a birthday present from my parents when I turned 11. I wish I were making this up. Worse birthday ever.

Should be fun in the rain

That article made me laugh so hard, I couldn't breathe: "But what really gets me is the fact that the drunk driver, who rammed my side with the front of his 1997 Buick Regal, won a $100 Office Depot gift certificate. That's just wrong."

Apologies for those affected by the recalls, I'd be worried/pissed too.

Watch out for the brown note at 0:44, especially if you're listening through headphones. Close call here.

Maybe cardboard cars live under these wraps. Maybe they're not testing cars, they're testing a new kind of fabric for car covers.....

It's not Reverse, it's Rapido.

The LaFerrari reminds me of this.... not so good

I want one has a commuter and report back on its reliability. Also, great reason to be late at work!

I once visited a friend in Japan who gave private English lessons. We spent a day with one of the families that we was teaching. The father asked me: "Do you dlive a Rexooouuus Automobiru?" It took me a second to figure it out. P.S. Not making fun of the whole Engrish thing, that's just the way it was.

Sounds like fun times Jason! Serious question: Are passengers in the back, especially kids, required to wear a seat belt?

I agree 100% with the newer truck argument. I moved from Montreal to Boston (6 hour drive at a leisurely speed) in a 1983 POS Ford U-Haul with, no kidding, at least 120 degree dead spot in the steering wheel. They had to pry my fingers off the steering wheel once I made it. No need for coffee to stay awake, the…

rush hour traffic.... Saturday.... Maine...

I've been driving my 5-spd TDI for 9 years now and it's been awesome. I'm always happy to get behind the wheel, even if it's just commuting to work. Fun little car.

I got this bad boy about a month ago. I paid about $1.40/lb. Taking it on a 2600 mile trip with a 2.5 year old and a pregnant wife.... should be fun! They average 17-18 MPG and can pull in a drive-through ;-)

I'd rock a Jalopnik sticker if I knew how to get one. I could use the good karma/20 extra HP that comes with…

My B5.5 Passat has a longitudinal engine and is FWD (granted they also make AWD versions). The first one that I can think of is the 1987 VW Fox.

That sucks. One thing that I have learned with the glow plugs is that when one dies, change all 4. It's as if the imbalance created will wear things more quickly. And always use OE parts or from a reputable supplier. The german car part market has been inundated with really really terrible chinese crap. As they say:…
