THIS! People commonly complain about Jalopnik bashing GM, or being anti-Tesla, anti-gas, anti-EV, being biased against whatever, etc. I don’t think they are really any of those things. I just think there are a few writers (cough cough Raph, Erik, & sometimes Justin) that are negative, overly critical, and generally…

The 2.7 is already available on the Bronco. I wouldn’t expect a 2.3 (even a highly stressed one) in the Raptor version. 

Hey everyone, it’s a time traveler from 1998!

I’m really interested in this, moreso than a Wrangler. But I’m scared that its going to be one of those vehicles that, to get anything out of it, your going to have to spend $40k+. And at that point it wont be worth it. Everyone should also be waiting a year or 2 to get one to give dealers time to get over themselves…

Just imagine, if the media didn’t make a big deal about OJ’s birthday (which I promise you, was unintentional. That’s giving us WAAAAYYY too much credit), we’d be seeing the Bronco TODAY. Now we have to wait until Monday...

You can say it without buying the van.  I did it just now...at my desk.  

Plot twist: They were staffed by Russians spying on the Secret Service

Fleet vehicles are usually the lowest base grade vehicles. They usually don’t have tinted windows. Plus, they usually have the utility’s logo on the door(s) and some inventory number stenciled somewhere.

When I toured DC circa 2004 it was vans identical to these, down to the lights, that were conspicuously parked around the White House. Saw one drive at the bollards on Pennsylvania Ave, only to have them momentarily disappear into the ground, so it could drive around the pedestrian only zone. I assumed they were…

Why?  Is it just for looks?  Step side beds haven’t looked good since 1959.  All trucks with them since then have looked odd.  Plus, they only serve to reduce bed space by giving you a kinda crummy step.

Fact check: Misleading.

When the sclooting starts the schooting starts.

If you watch the YouTube video included in the article, the company claims to source its parts from suppliers all over the world. But their history shows that they’ve only been sourcing from that one supplier in Japan.

I just think they're neat.

Agreed. I backpacked through Europe last year and they were a godsend in many places. Scooters allow you to hit many more sites in a day than public transit and they’re much cheaper than cabs. I wish there weren’t accidents or buffoons, but I don’t think we should throw out, or in this case, burn down, the baby with…

I get all reasons why they suck, and I love a good barricade; but they were a nice option for last mile transit from public transportation. 

Yea thanks Torch. You of all people being not only one the staff here but also the actual author of this article could’ve gone into how the autopilot system is advertised for sudden stop situations and some of its observed behavior over the years. And yes your linked article is on that topic but I was hoping for…

Fuck him. Charge the guy with damaging private property but then Smith with felony battery. Attempting to repeatedly kick someone in their head is sickening. At least we don’t have to see his dumb ass on an NBA court again.

I’ve never bought a rental, but every time I’ve bought a car I’ve gone into it with the mindset that I’m going to keep it until it’s no longer mechanically sound. So by the time I’m ready to get rid of a car, I’m not expecting much for sale/trade-in. But if you’re someone who likes to switch it up every few years,…

Just because other people date used up hookers doesn’t mean I want to. Have you or Tom ever bought a rental car? You can pay $2K less for your rental Camry now, but when you sell it you’re gonna get $2K less “because it was once a rental.” The scarlet letter will follow the car its whole history.
