Being cooler than their kids appears to be a common theme with Jalopnik writers’ moms.

Maybe you are right

It should also be mentioned that Helen currently daily drives a 991 Carrera S with a manual and is most definitely cooler than all of us. :)

I am at a loss for how FancyKristen came from such a fine, practical, down-to-earth background.

“...I took a one-day crash course on driving a manual on my sister’s ex-husband’s old, beat up Toyota...”

Awesome read up, and I must say, you should be very proud of your daughter. She’s quite the article writer, and I had the chance to meet her at the karting event last year. I was a bit down in the dumps that I didn’t qualify, and felt like an outsider not really knowing anyone there, but she was super kind and…

First off, I hope Aric Almirola makes a speedy recovery.

A right front brake rotor failure while under braking will turn you left, because any braking force that remains affect the left side of the vehicle to a much greater extent.

I think Jr.’s decision could have gotten a lot of drivers to think about safety more seriously.

After the FS1 post-crash interview with Danica, I got the sense that she’s considering throwing in the towel. It wasn’t the oh-woe-is-me message, but when she mentioned that she’s avoided many serious injuries and the next one could be the last one. I’ve never heard a sentiment from a driver that indicates doom is on…

It’s not heavier than an A380, unless you’re counting the SRBs and the main tank.

We’re apparently not considering airport tugs production vehicles, either, though.

Some people want the sticker and are willing to pay extravagantly for it. Happens all of the time with Wranglers, buyers shell out the extra $10k for a Rubicon and then immediately change out the suspension, differentials, wheels, tires, etc. It’s usually the lightbar/fake-beadlock/mall crawlers bros.

It’s kind of sounds like an endorsement for getting something else if your goal is a certain lift or tire size. I mean, if crawling in a new truck is your thing, you could lift, tire and front arb lock a Tacoma TRD off-road for less than a zr2.

USDM e36 M3s dont have real ///M engines though.

More importantly, if you’re set on rolling your suspension, just buy a lesser model and save yourself the sheckels.

Wait, is Street Outlaws not completely staged? I’ve always assumed they were staging legal races on cordoned off roads and making them seem illegal for the camera. But I swear they’ve showed these cash days races on the show before.

Dude tucks his ears into his hat. That’s reason enough not to watch it.

Am I the only one who absolutely hates Street Outlaws? It’s so fake and cheesy and Big Chief is incredibly annoying. It really shouldn’t be on Discovery Channel at all in the first place and I change the channel every single time it’s on. Rant over.
