I don’t know that I have shared it here before but the replay solution is obvious to me and only requires two things.

I saw an Avalon on Saturday and thought “this would be the perfect car for Meh Car Moday.” Now I am worried that our Jalopnik overlords have invented mind reading and am going to put my tinfoil hat back on.

We had a dryer on the left set-up when we moved into our house and then for the first 12 years living there. Why? Because the plumbing is on the right and the dryer vent is on the left. But after living with this for far too long, and with a front loading washer with the door in the way, I finally switched sides when…

Can we just title this series as Hannah shits on old sports movies? Watching these as an adult without the nostalgia factor is pointless because most sports movies are either objectively bad, sexist, racist, or all three. And to judge them outside of their time is always going to result in the uncomfortable realiztiin…

I had a 91 Celica convertible and the top didn’t quite cinch down on the passenger side so I decided to tighten it. Not being mechanically inclined I grabbed a set of vice grips and latched on with the intent of just getting it one turn tighter, the latch was essentially shaped like a fish hook with threads on it for…

We aren’t that far along into the program to know but I do know some nearly Olympic caliber gymnasts a bit and they seem to be much happier as NCAA athletes though they did admit to an adjustment period transitioning to a team vs individual mindset. Unfortunately, to get to the NCAA path it appears that they have to…

For a number of years my daughter trained at an elite gym that had produced Olympic and World Champion medal winners in the past and the culture there was beyond toxic as we learned, unfortunately to her detriment. While we knew the sport was butal and frequently painful we tried to stress the concept of being injured…

This is actually a fairly common practice in corporations. It would screw the financial statements if Skoda showed all of the profits without any corresponding expense for the development costs. We like to think of multi-national corporations as giant monoliths but really they are more like an electrical grid with a…

My question is how did you find so many pictures of them with the clear coat intact. I swear it peeled off as the cars rolled off of the assembly line. The only thing that seemed to lose it faster were the lumina minivans of that era.

I had an Alero and it sat outside over Christmas break for about a week without being driven(we just had a baby). So one night at about 2 AM we hear the car start and the radio go to full blast. Being utterly exhausted from the newborn we said screw it let the dumb thieves have it, we didn’t even bother to call the…

My wife and I just got a brand new 2017 Jetta Sport 1.8 Turbo with leather and navigation for under $18K. The scandal may be hurting their brand but with that comes some great deals. A comparable civic was about $25K in our area and I think those are hideous with the new aggressive styling (other than the hatchback…

I suspect that is a 0% chance that the NBA champions are invited to the White House but I hope they are and that they go. Pop, Kerr, and LeBron have all been pretty eloquent in their various take down of Trump and to hear one of them to tell Trump to eff off using words that are probably beyond his vocabulary would be…

I had a non-turbo 1991 MR2 and loved it in high school and loved it until the moment an 8-point buck landed on the winsheild/roof. If I had the cash, and could also afford to take my wife to Disney World to make her forget that I bought this, I would be on my way to pick it up.

I actually saw him with his d-league team in a Hampton inn in Des Moines this weekend. He looked to be about 20 years older than any of his teammates.

I’ve been waiting for a Trump post today. Last night I heard the Fall Out Boy song Sugar We’re Goin’Down and I think it should be his official theme song.

It made a lot more sense once I read this:

I don’t see how this works economically if Andrew’s assumption that the $3 billion number represents the value of the orders at full purchase price, which I think is a safe assumption. That $3 billion represents orders for just under 8,600 trucks (8,571 actually).

““Gymnastics.” Very cool. Now could you please practice those gymnastics at the gym, and not a foot away from the nearest window or television?”

If I have learned anything from reading Jalopnik for years is that when it comes to cars and car buying the practical thing is not the correct answer. Sure we could all buy the obvious car, a Camry with the dent, but better to get the Jag with the v12 ticking like the time bomb it is under the hood. Or to buy the 78…

Because they were so close together we really hadn’t gotten over the exhaustion from the first when the second came. In fact, we found out my wife was pregnant with the second when she walked into the living room and said I think I felt a baby kick. I reacted like the baby had kicked me in the stones. My wife still…
