By far the best article written about VW since the scandal broke. Kudos, Torch. I hope the right people see this, and take it to heart.

Maybe not much of a horror story, but my driver’s ed teacher would always use the teacher brake when we drove. Every single stop. I figured this out the first time I drove my mom’s car, with her in it of course, by nearly rear-ending the car in front of us at the first red light I came to. Conditioning a bunch of kids…

The time I jumped my dad’s (later my) Saturn. I was driving far too fast, in a residential area - think multiples the speed limit. Wide roads or no, it was unbearably stupid, I know this. I knew it then too, but teenage angst/curiosity/etc won by a sizable margin that day. Anyways, shortly after I began braking I hit…
I had a great time, both on Friday and Saturday. Big thanks to all of Jalopnik putting this on, and to you (Matt) for coming up and saying hi to me when I was waiting my turn to hop in a Miata, that was really cool of you.
My vote goes to a Triumph TR6. My username could certainly bring acusations of bias, but rather call it a suggestion born from personal experience. While not a rare car, it’s one people seldom see or are familiar with. It has the unmistakable design of a small, sporty British roadster, making it seem “exotic”.
Baggage check fees will always be #1, especially if there’s a carry-on fee. A close second is the check-in at the airport/print off your boarding pass fee. To my knowledge, it’s exclusive to Spirit (of course). Flying Spirit is just a trip through the Annoying Airline Fees Hall of Fame; their slogan should be “Because…
I’ll be there! Looking forward to it
American car design in one sentence
Given the direction BMW has been going, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next M3 was a CUV on top of everything else.
My weekend/fun car is a Triumph TR6, same soul as the Fiat 124. I really enjoyed reading this article, you nailed everything that makes these cars so much fun. And also the sunburn potential- I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve gotten burned from being out in the sun too long, for no other reason than I was just…
As a former Fisker employee, it’s nice to hear people say that. I hope them all the best as well.
I always found the rear end of the Karma to be the disagreeable bit. Regardless of how anyone feels about the design, I think they’d be wise to make a few tweaks, seeing as that body is practically a decade old now.
Believe it or not, cars work the same way. We’re really not so different after all!
As my username suggests, I drive a ‘73 Triumph. I’d rather not think about it.
Yes, Superman could just eye-laser or punch into the statorsphere any villian he comes across. No matter how much you like Superman, you’re not going to enjoy a movie that’s over in 5 seconds because of that fact. And this is why Superman is the most criminally boring superhero of all time:
