Why buy a truck for on-road enjoyment (as opposed to utility or off-roading) when a car is better in every conceivable dimension?

I am aware that the F150's frame is steel. The entire point of my sarcastic comment is to show how Chevrolet’s anti-aluminum advertising campaign would come back and bite them in the ass harder than Marv Albert on bath salts.

Structural engineer here. The fact that this is the largest of the 3 (apparent) braces running across the short axis of the car to stiffen the frame rails tells me it has the most load on it (yes real engineering-ish). I’m having a hard time orienting the pictures with each other but regardless: corners are always the…

This is my hometown. Here’s the local report.

They were all doing coke right?

I’m guessing it will more like a Treyvon Martin thing — “oh, I was so afraid of the nasty homeless guy that I followed him as he was walking away and shot him twice! So afraid!”

“Homeless guy walks up to my car, yells at me and says insulting things.”

If you have no intention of killing someone, you shouldn’t pull the trigger.

“ she didn’t know she hit him”. Oh, okay, so your best defense is a reckless disregard for use of a fucking firearm? Like, I deal with a lot of homeless folks. Thanks to our broken mental health system, a lack of social services, and rampant drug abuse, it is totally possible for a homeless guy to, for want of a…

“Upon arrival, paramedics found a wrecked performance vehicle lying next to a wall. The body of a woman was found lying a short distance behind the vehicle,” said ER24 in a statement.

And here I thought Traction Control helped you get moving and ABS helped you stop without skidding.

Not entirely relevant here since this one of the few times I’ve seen a family wait for the objective facts and put out a very pragmatic statement. If you didn’t read it, it basically boils down to “We miss our son a lot, but we think this technology should continue to be used and developed because it will ultimately…

Popular Mechanics is a good source for tomorrows Jalopnik stories as well.

Why does it seem more and more that yesterdays Reddit becomes todays Jalopnik

Only said we set records, apologies for lack of judgment after only getting trace amounts of sleep this whole weekend on a whirlwind drive to and from the event.

This strikes me as odd since I just got back from the Colorado Mile where we set some records with a C7 Corvette. Stock Hellcat Challengers will do 160-170 in a standing mile bone stock, and there was a plethora of Hellcats at that event.

Even with big ass signs, it’s easy for drivers to lose track of them for their…

...because the feature allowed Brown to “go for long periods without steering or apparently even looking at the road.”

76 years old and going out in a high speed crash in a muscle car. I can think of worse ways to sign off.

A priest, a doctor, and an engineer are golfing behind a group that’s playing horrendously slow so at the turn, they decide to ask the golf ranger what the deal with the group ahead of them. The ranger goes on to tell a story about four firemen that lost their sight saving the clubhouse and as a thanks, the course…

The fireball pressurizes the lean air/fuel in the periphery of the cylinder, causing it to spontaneously and homogeneously combust.
