Not sure I’d go too far on this one, but there used to be a show “Tradin’ Paint” and one episode had Jeff Gordon in Juan Pablo Montoya’s BMW at the F1 circuit at Indy. Once he got comfortable in the car he laid down a couple of hot laps and IIRC, he did post a time that would have been competitive for the F1 field…
From the “modern” era, I’m going with Jean Alesi and Robert Kubica. Alesi was betrayed by inferior equipment and poor reliability more times than I can count. I still believe Kubica has champion-level skill, it’s just a shame he got hurt so badly in that rally accident. Ironically, both drivers have only one win to…
Oh man I’d love a new Kizashi. That was a hidden gem.
Maybe DB Cooper was running low on cash and took a chance on one final grift?
Call me crazy, but how about if you put an axle with two car sized wheels under that platform, then added some way to attach it to the back of the vehicle. Then you could ride the bike on/off the platform and the bed of the truck could still be used to load other stuff. Not sure if the idea will catch on, but...
I’d bet that the majority of the readers here grew up without riding in a car seat or on a booster seat. Most of us lived.
Your spirit animal is a Chocolate Lab named Buddy, isn’t it?
Ah yes, the vague comment where you are not sure if you found the sexual assault supporter or if they are just bitching about Jalopnik grammar.
If you’re selling an Atom for twenty grand, I’m buying.
Drives like a sports car. If you can drive a car, you can drive a Slingshot. You know people don’t get special training to buy Hellcats or 765LTs or Chirons, right? How is this any different?
Don’t drive like a dick, you won’t get in trouble.
You know those are auto-only and front-wheel drive, right?
Or... they have a relatively wealthy government that actually has an interest in helping the population and improving their quality of life. I suppose that does feel like a foreign concept these days...
No kidding. This is nothing short of amazing. Imagine a project of this magnitude getting done for that kind of money in the U.S. Those that must have their cut of bribes would never let it happen.
Every single car does this automatically. It’s how defroster settings work.
Yeah, I think the battery will eventually have to be replaced. I’ll try to get a year or two out of it like this and then dive in to that project. Battery prices will probably come down in that time, too, as more 2018+ Leaf Plus models get crashed. I’ll try to get the 62 kWh battery in there.
Liking cars does not mean you have to like vaguely racist, quite imperialist ‘entertainment’ that has not evolved in any way since 2005 or so.
I feel like it’s wrong that I find this funny. I can’t figure out who this is for.
This reminds me of the time I was at this epic house party in LA, and I ended up in the kitchen, making myself a salad. (Yeah, I know. I’m weird. But I got hungry.) So I’m making myself a salad, as this couple comes in and begins preparing some extremely fat lines of cocaine on the counter.
Unless there’s a new engine in there, run away, because it’s just waiting to fail, and it’ll cost more than if you had a hemi in it
