I’ve been to Rs Day in Japan, and we do have things like it for GT-R owners in the US, and they are low-key and wonderful. They just happen on a regional basis. There’s an annual in Caliornia, and I believe one in Texas. There have been some in the NYC area too. 

I own a kei fire truck! I imported mine about 6 months ago. It’s a 1990 Daihatsu Hijet that arrived with less that 3000 miles on the odometer. Can confirm these things generate massive smiles; I’ve been telling friends that from a sociological perspective, it’s basically like driving a puppy. Best. Purchase. Ever.

As a writer and editor, it’s rare that I’m sent scurrying to the dictionary, and even more rarely for a word that describes one of our mostly godly body functions. Yet “micturition” did that to me. Well done, and thank you!

Well, if nothing else this goes a long way toward explaining many of the more ridiculous aspects of the Toyota Supra design.  

No complaints about the redesign, but I would like to speak to whoever manages your ad tech; some of the ad units are so slow and unstable that Jalopnik pages routinely time-out without loading. (I’m using Chrome on desktop.) It sucks.

Weird how much the badging avoids saying “Jeep”, particularly on those touchpoints where it has traditionally appeared: on the front clip, the tailgate, and the steering wheel center pad. Intead it leans into the whole Grand Wagoneer thing as if they want to make it a brand of its own.

Jeep is a very strong global…

Headline Faux Pas Alert! This is not a container ship. There is nothing container about this sad ship. This is a roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) transport. Container ships carry all those big metal boxes; ro-ros are floating parking garages that bring the magical gift of automobiles to drivers around the world. It’s sort of…

Some additional context: RentJDM was created by the folks from Toprank Imports, the JDM dealer in the LA area. (Disclosure: I bought a car from Toprank, and I’m a happy customer) Best of all, Sean Morris is involved, and apart from being Mr. Skyline, Sean is also a total pro.

Weeeeeeellllll, just saying, but... I own a JDM car, and after 2 years with it I can confirm that not only do I accidentally hit the wipers instead of the turn signals all the time, but I now do that it ALL my cars, regardless of whether I’m sitting on the left or the right. I’m now in a permanent state of confusion,…

Yes but Nissan did something similar with the Skyline brand in Japan, and that worked out just great. Oh wait...

Pro Tip: Consider getting one of those Unity A-pillar spotlights, like the cop cars have. They’re cheap, and having the ability to point light exactly where you need in, either when parked or while driving, has saved my bacon many, many times. Plus, looks cool. Highly recommended.

Oh hey! That’s my Jeep! It’s still running like new, and still looks like this, and still great for hiding in plain sight.

Eyes did not wobble. But they did light up, and a set of speakers wired to the roll cage played "C Is For Cookie" over and over and over and over and over....

Bonus points: Car was no. 123. Get it? Get it? Brilliant.

Look closely in the front window, folks... That Alfa is for sale. Race ready! Beloved by LeMons judges!

True story: We didn't plan to race the Alfa last weekend; we only brought it to the track to try and sell it. But when our Volvo blew a valve, we prepped the Milano in about 45 minutes, passed tech, and drove it on…

I would submit that the Volvo 245 operated by Bernal Dads Racing may be the most badass Volvo in 'Murica. "The Whale" is a battle-scarred veteran of eighteen 24 Hours of LeMons races, including some of the early melees at Altamont. And it just keeps going. It's had an engine swap, and a tranny swap, and zillions of…
