RV Driver: “Wow, this thing is really struggling.”

That’s a great question.

At a certain point, the tires must have been dragging.

What I don’t understand about all of this is how did the driver of the RV not notice the drag which must have occurred. Seriously, what kind of RV has the power to, basically, drag this Jeep that fast? 

Insurance didn’t cover it because it was a pre-existing condition.

I was going to post exactly this. Near me there is a jog in the road to miss a house. The homeowners installed some gigantic boulders after the house got hit the second time.

sounds like some large landscaping rocks are are in order

I sure hope it was a wagon, because the idea of that many people crammed into a sedan do not make for a comfortable mental picture!

the car he was driving, a 2000 Ford Taurus, was hauling four adults, three children and one child, an infant, wasn’t secured. In addition to the definitely overloaded car,

You guys win a collective COTD.

I might be crazy but I SWEAR I’ve heard Musk tout this as a great reason to own an electric car before.  There’s a presentation slide in my mind where it’s like “The car can even be used in an emergency to power your home”.  Tell me I’m not crazy.

LOL. ok true. But then again..

Jalopniks: We want wagons!
Buick: Here you go!
Jaguar: Here you go!
VW: Here you go!
BMW: Here you go!
Jalopniks: ugly, too expensive, too small, no manual. Come on we want wagons!

Jalopnik: “Manufacturers should build more wagons!”
Porsche “Here you go.”

If I was in the market for a $100k+ electric car, this would be it.

Orlove should probably just stick to writing about his shitty bicycle and manuals to cars he doesn’t own.

The panamera sport-turismo is awesome and so is this!

Because Outbacks (and other lifted wagons) are great? Although the recent ones look more like SUVs than wagons at this point, as they’ve gotten kinda bloated. Generations 1 through 4 are great, though.

Counterpoint: The world will be a little better with the Cross Turismo. If anyone can make long roofs cool again to the general public, it’s Porsche.

Grew up in Alaska. Drove a “big” truck. I pulled just as many Subarus out of the ditch as Dodges. Overconfidence in the “safety” of your particular vehicle isn’t just a Big Truck thing, and there is a world of difference between a cute ad campaign and reality, especially for overconfident inexperienced drivers. 

I used to live in Dallas. One time I was going south on I-35, just south of the Northwest Highway intersection, and a multi-vehicle accident occurred in my lane right up ahead of me. Bam! Bam! Bam! as the cars in front of me collided. The traffic was thick, I didn’t have time to look to the left, but I yanked the steer…
