My goal is to get as much air time on the ones that surround my college campus. I still need to record my record

Meh. It definitely isn’t a super grippy surface, but ALL of the vehicles in this clip had all four wheels locked. That was the biggest mistake. If these people had let go of the brake pedal, they might have fared much better.

Winter tires actually can provide a lot more ice grip than people think. I ice race on studless winter tires. However, as with any tire, they don’t work when you’ve got your brakes locked. If these people had simply let go of the goddamned brake pedal, they would have been able to avoid this pileup.

I’m very much not an OCD person about the condition of my car... but I completely agree with you.

3. Maybe if we actually had higher standards for licensing people to drive?

1. Snow tires will do precisely zero if you’re sliding down an icy slope.

That delivery car/taxi had the right idea. It’s hard to do when you start sliding out of control, but foot off the brakes and see if you can steer. Better to do a quick 180 (and in this case be pointing up hill on the cleared side of the street), than contribute to the pile-up.

Lived there for 47 years, looks like a summer day to me.. people crash into each other all the time. Don’t blame the weather

Am I the only one that makes sure to be in the lowest gear possible in those communities where the speed bumps can be taken at no more than 5 mph?

I don’t like people moving my seats, much less actually driving my car.

We need to start a community of people who would put this note on neighbors’ cars: “Your car is too quiet for this community. Please increase the noise.”

“Too loud for this community” That’s gold, I got something similar from my car occasionally setting off a car alarm when I started it in the parking garage.

Ha! My downstairs neighbors used to get passive-aggressive with notes like that about me walking across my own floor. Everything from quiet music to getting up to pee set them off. Kid. You. Not.

At the risk of sounding like an uptight, obsessive compulsive douche I’m going to say that I really don’t like anyone else driving my cars. I have one, really, really good friend who also happens to be an excellent driver and just as OCD as I am, that I trust. But that’s it. Too many well intentioned “car enthusiasts”…

True, but the EV1 was before the tax credits and was before the government subsidies the auto industry currently gets.

I will ask this. Isn't the range of the Mitsubishi city car about 80 miles? So it would appear that the EV1 exceeded the range capacity of the current EV now. Granted, a Tesla would spank it, but it seems like it would still be competitive with some current production EVs.

I don’t blame StalePhish. Asside from dead-front view I think the 300zx (Z32) has aged extremely well. It’s profile, window lines, and waist are possibly, dare I say it, a timeless classic.

This was way, way ahead of its time. 20 years later we have the Nissan Leaf... which goes around 70 miles, or the same as an EV-1. Also- the dash on the EV-1 wouldn’t look out of place on a Prius. And on top of that it was made in an era when GM made a whole lot of CRAP. So for this car to have come with those…

I honestly didn’t know anyone on the Jalopnik staff was of driving age in 1997.
