You’ve already been given a whole bunch of fun facts, but here’s the big one: The graph of lead exposure due to its continued use in motor fuels virtually mirrors the rise and decline of violent crime in the United States.

Fun fact (okay, maybe not so fun): Thomas Midgely, who played a key role in developing leaded gasoline, also invented Freon and many other harmful CFCs. It is very likely that no other single person has had such a long-lasting and deleterious effect on the environment.

Motorcycle haters? How do I put this eloquently? Oh! Got it:

A life lived in fear is no life at all.

It’s difficult to say exactly when the “not-so-distant future” is on Mazda’s timeline

The difference is 20 years of California driving, versus 20 years of traversing salt-covered roads every winter. A 200k mile Volvo that has spent it’s life out east or in the upper mid-west would be a dodgy proposition.

Three grand for running, driving, AWD, AND working AC? This is the definitive winter beater.

Found in the Danish Nimbus motorcycle club magazine:

This critique seems to be lacking in hypothesis and resolution. There are some elements that suggest that this is not in fact a critique but a bad faith argument in defense of Musk and his grift.

Because Musk is a racist piece of shit con-man.

I’m probably an outlier on this one, but I absolutely loved the Nissan Juke, aggressive style with decent power for a small car, and even had a manual option available. They discontinued it by the time I decided I needed a car again because 10 years of public transportation got old, so I didn’t get one. And it’s Kicks…

He’s one stupid mother fucker.  

six well-appointed bedrooms and 4.1 bathrooms.

Just being a smart ass. The complaint about these vehicles NOT having AWD is pretty hilarious. Not that i’ve ever lived through a REAL N.E. winter, but the usual 2 to 3 weeks of everything being a sheet of ice in Oklahoma haven’t been a problem for me and my fwd camry.

Two words: Rich Energy 

The Goodyear RV tire story was the pinnacle of Jalopnik investigative, independent reporting that rattled a giant and held them accountable instead of letting it get swept under a rug. Incredible work by Felton and a high water mark for Jalopnik as an outlet. https://jalopnik.com/how-goodyear-hid-evidence-of-the-worst-…

ND because buying used makes no sense, if you can afford 115k you can afford to buy new

They don’t have a clear title. They say “I know what I have.” There are multiple owners and/or an unclear accident history (many will forgive a fender bender if the seller is honest and presents contact info for the shop involved).

Objectively hideous in every way. The wheel covers manage to out-Pep the Pep Boys. The steering wheel spokes look like they’re made of surplus parts for barbecue tools. And yet it’s so fascinating. Took me longer than expected to punch ND.
