I can’t keep up with Jalopnik’s editorial stance on street racing. Are we cool with it again?

“After the Thanksgiving holiday, COVID-19 cases began to rise, likely as a result of both travel and close, maskless contact with people outside of one’s bubble.”

My high beam switch also moves up and down, but I don’t know why.

“...we’re not a snuff site, after all.”

Also, “inertia” -> “momentum”.

I would have, but I saw the picture before the byline and it’s clearly front-engined.

I care so little about the whole doctor thing that I completely forgot to have PhD put on my last batch of business cards.

I never knew that wiper blade glare was an issue, but now I’m very concerned.

A retroreflective finish would be considerably worse for other drivers at night than a chrome wrap, because all surfaces would reflect their headlights back at them. Not just the perpendicular ones.

Fox body Mustang. I always thought it looked too much like the Escort.

I think the Pinto Memo largely got the math right. It’s famous because it said the quiet part out loud.

Given how quickly he got out of the car, I can’t see how he was very nearly trapped by the halo. What this incident showed, is that even after an impact big enough to rip the car in half, the halo was strong enough to not fold in and impede driver egress.

The problem up north is not just the potholes, but the fact that in early spring you can’t even see them. When I got the snows for my wife’s Fit I got them on the smallest steel rims that would clear the brake calipers. This decision paid for itself when she hit a slush-filled pothole which would have absolutely…

All seasons on my Outback. Snows on my wife’s Fit.

This reminds me of the time I came home on a warmish day a little while after a big ice storm. I pulled into the driveway and got out of the car, but something just didn’t feel right. So I got back in and backed out to the end of the driveway. As soon as I put the key in the front door of the house a few hundred…

I had a Linear for a few years. Upgrades from the Impreza were aluminum front a-arms, more sound deadening, and the WRX steering rack. Despite being priced almost five grand over a comparable Impreza when new it was actually a little bit less when I bought mine off-lease in ‘09.
