Am I the only one that is looking at the back of that burning car and seeing zero evidence of it being rear ended? I mean there would be some damage to the exhaust pipes or even s scuff on the bumper. What did he get rear ended by? A motorcycle?

Depends, how many kulacks don’t believe in the five year plan?

Ford Taurus Police Interceptor Ecoboost or this?

Fucking legend right here. This is why Jalopnik is so great

I already called the lawyers and left a voice message. I told them it is a 2010 Kia Forte and told them to see the pictures here to compare. There is no doubt that is the car they are looking for. I hope to get some beer if I get the reward.

It’s kind of like Stockholm Syndrome for jalop-o-philes. It’s not that you really like brown manual wagons... It’s just that it’s been suggested to you by your captor so many times that you now identify with it and you say to yourself “yes, I do like brown manual wagons.”

That would be the Courtney Campbell Causeway going from Clearwater to Tampa. I know this stretch of road well. Unfortunately, this isn’t a terribly surprising situation to me.

I have a 66 CH and 68 H. I tell people they can take the CH for a ride if they can start it. Magneto. The original anti theft device.

In case you are actually curious, racers and cruisers come to know how their sailboat feels. There are no weird currents or enduring 'lifts' around there.
