Thank you, thank you, thank you, this is exactly the kind of informative, interesting and humane coverage I visit Jalopnik every morning for.

That glorious Chevy truck pumping tejano made me feel things. The brightwork, the little luggage trunk in the back, the flags. Man, I love low-rider culture. These people put SO MUCH time and effort into these vehicles. I saw an exhibit at the Petersen Museum that bent my mind with the level of incredible detail…

I love me some low riders. I'm in the Central Valley myself and was sad to see when my town had their car show low riders weren't there. Turns out they were there, they just pushed them all to one end of the park away from the main area. We just happened to see them on the way out. 

Once again... fuck cancer.

James Cathcart is actually the second Oak voice actor, who took over the role from Stuart Zagnit in 2006. He’s better known for playing Gary the entirety of the show’s run, as well as being the replacement voices for James and Meowth since 2006. He’s also written pretty much every dub script for Pokemon since then as…

My daughter has a Camry of this era. I ended up driving it and noticed a horrible shudder at 35 mph. A little digging found that Toyota had issues with the torque converter not locking up properly at light loads.

This. Let’s deduct the consulting fees, marketing fees and change -orders and approval delays and then see what the cost is.

Your first point is spot-on. I review bills for a public agency and I can’t believe what private engineers and attorneys bill our organization. We could do it so much cheaper if we had our own engineers and attorneys, but big government = EVIL and private sector = GOOD (not to mention campaign donations from engineers…

Multiple factors. First, we have a habit of outsourcing non-routine public works to consultants and contractors rather than bringing that talent in-house in the US. It’s why municipal utilities run pretty well, municipal transit projects suck because the agency doesn’t know what they want, how feasible ideas are, and…

This has been all of the dialogue on Reddit/Twitter/even here on certain threads ever since the first person was “bullied” for playing the game on twitch. Whether or not the “bullying” was genuinely cruel or not, astroturfed or not, or even actually present in a quantity or not, every conversation now starts with

“If…

I decided to click on the trending tab and take a look at this for myself for some ungodly reason, and holy shit, the amount of people who were “calling for war” as they put it, against trans folks over this and literally hoping people would kill themselves over the harassment was *insane*. It was the most brain…

The Fiat Lingotto factory rooftop test track.

I think you mean “Salvation” is a remake of “Damnation.”

This one is a criminally under appreciated AMV by KaiserNeko. Definitely in my top 5 of all time.

People arent leasing right now because the manufacturers have completely stopped subventing lease rates and residuals.

Much of California is backed by a mountain range that traps and concentrates pollutants as the wind flows to the east. On the other side of that range is the remainder of the US. Personal observation: Flew out of LA and as the plane passed over those mountains I could see what might be described well enough as a very…

Ask literally any liberal or progressive political candidate about their plans and they will give you a laundry list of useful stuff.  Healthcare, infrastructure, environmental, jobs, policing reforms, human rights, foreign affairs, energy, etc.  They’ll talk to you for days about helpful policy.  You’ve just been…

Rolling coal. Yes we get it, you hate the environment, Prius’, and bicyclists. There’s probably a bumper sticker for that.
