I want to know why this isn’t standard equipment on all GM products. 

I can’t listen to anyone make excuses for that in a halo car

Your “something old and American” looks like a ‘57 Chevy.

And....those are Suburbans, not Tahoes.  See rear window size and rear overhang.

I may be biased, but the centre-mounted Smiths gauges in a classic Mini are wonderful.

This is a good topic and a pet project of mine. One thing that this particular dash places a lot of emphasis on (I’d never seen it before) is the legibility of the numerals on the dials and also the consistent scale with which the graduation marks are laid out (i.e., they dont change scale mid-dial). The type face is…

My favorite of the cars I’ve owned was my ‘79 GMC pickup. It looked something like this.

It’s all fun and games and great visibility until IIHS tests it and gives it a ‘poor’ rating for lack of crumple zones....

Tap a Pinto? Explosion.

Only a few more years down there and it might be rusty enough to qualify as David Tracy’s next project.

Minor water damage, low miles, ran when parked.

Winter tires are for these kinds of people who can’t drive in winter. Its pretty easy to drive just fine on a set of all seasons.....if you know how to drive. 

You’re right though, I don’t want fucking clothes and horns taking up space in my wheelspin. Gimme money or cars!

I want to do a Forza Horizon Jalopnik Pack again! Tell them to answer my emails.

I have a little Hot Wheels Corvette! 

A while back on one of these I asked you guys not to let me do something stupid. I was met with a resounding "do the thing" from the Jalopnik staff. Here is the thing.
