I still think the guy was tailgating. This type of lens always makes things look farther away. I see your two SUVs and everything, but that guy was close. Brake checking is also stupid and I definitely believe the cop chose his moment carefully. Cops have an elevated situational awareness as a matter of job…

I test drove one of these grand Cherokees and found the shifter to be the answer to a question that nobody asked.

Pretty impressive numbers there for a pyramid-scheme masquerading as an automobile manufacturer. Trusting a guy like Elon Musk is just like sticking your dick inna Aston-Martin V-12 exhaust pipe. It’ll go just fine until your dick gets burned.

Elon Musk finds yet another way to get hundreds of millions in interest free loans, and you suckers are praising him for it. They’re strapped for cash and the car is still over 2 years away, so they cook up this “reservation” deal and everyone bites. I’ve never seen someone run such a blatant ponzi scheme in plain…

This is a last ditch effort to generate more cash to spend before they go belly up. Their burn rate is far too fast.

My assumption..... they aren’t obeying a traffic law that requires motorists to move over when an emergency/police vehicle is pulled over with its lights going.
At least in NY state it is illegal and a fine if you do not move a lane over for a safety vehicle with lights on.

So I help out a charity that runs free advanced driver safety course for teens, we had an event in Pomona at the fair grounds this weekend. The first thing we talk about is any recent traffic deaths, every event we have something major in LA or Orange County to talk about. This weekend it was this. One of the parents…

Thank you, Oscars show, for bringing attention to the beautiful, thin, young women who have suffered sexual assault. Old women, fat women, poor women, any kind of man - oh, wait, I saw one handsome young dude in there - thank GOD they don't get sexually assaulted!

“A majority of drivers still stop at the station regularly, filling up their gas-guzzling vehicles and allowing the oil industry to stay in business.”

Sorry, but why the heck is this on Jalopnik? This relates to cars how exactly?

The USA has the lowest quality of life rankings in the ‘developed world.’

Those links you provide have no citations, and they themselves cite only tax credits related to developing new sources and wells. Furthermore, you’re forgetting that any revenue not gained in the initial tax grab is recouped 1000x in Fuel taxes (averaging $0.48/gallon), FICA/income taxes of workers, taxes of companies…

I fail to see how this is an issue. The pro-electric side gets to have whatever press they like but the side supporting the positives of hydrocarbon energy get no voice?

Can you please quantify “Climate Change” and how much is mankind responsible for? You can’t, you have no data, climate has been changing for millenia with and without man. It gets warm, it gets cold. get over it and give up your false religion.

The climate’s been continuously changing on Earth for eons. The fact that current upswings in temperature and CO2 (which are still extremely low by historical standards) is happening during our particular era doesn’t prove a causal relationship with the burning of fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are the chief primary energy source for “electric cars” in the US:

Denying the apocalyptic prognostications of the left on the issue isn’t denying the science - it’s denying the stupidity of the sky is falling.

“unpaid public health costs” is a complete crock. Same argument was used for cigarette taxation. “Think of how much we will save in health costs!” they said. We’re still waiting for those savings. There is also no attempt at a cost/benefit analysis for oil - which would, of course, show that the costs are miniscule…

Jalopnik, please stop posting moronic Gawker articles. The site is run by whiny assholes. I don’t think I’ve seen a single Gawker political peace that tries to take down those “crazy right wingers’” arguments with, you know, actual facts rather than ad-hominem attacks and snark.

Because Kara deemed it important. Even though Deadspin deemed it a hoax.
