JuSTI?

Aaaaaaand the countdown to 2045 has begun 

So wait, Subaru becomes more and more humdrum by the year and Toyota starts making the fun cars?

Except that’s really not how it’s likely to work. If you make it so nobody needs a car, it’s going to transition to “nobody gets a car” surprisingly quick. Cars aren’t guns or churches. There’s no constitutional amendment protecting car ownership. Any protection your ability to have a license and own a vehicle gets is…

I’m speechless, but with 36,895 comments, I haven’t always been speechless.  This post is the best prize ever!  Thanks so much, Andrew!

This is why I think Tracy is the last one worth really reading around here. When he writes in length, it’s either about technical details that he knows because he’s actually an engineer, or about personal experience that he actually... well... experienced.

Everyone else seems to be phoning it in more than usual with…

Genius. One screaming seagull meme coming right up:

What?!!!!! Read your question again. Go ahead.. you’re actually asking me why he made so much money if he didn’t help create PayPal? That is a bizarre question, even for a child to ask, really. I’ll tell you what, go ahead and read the next sentence I type, then go ahead and do some information gathering on your own.…

(As 2019 rounds out and we near the start of a new decade, Jalopnik imagines what the next year could bring... if the past decade had gone as we hoped it would.) 

That’s the thing for me. Using a subcompact to find the ceiling of the automobile as a concept may be a valiant effort but it’d be woefully unprepared to get there. To be the fastest and most capable, and to deliver the ultimate joy of mechanical control, you have to create a car to that specification.

You shut your dang fool mouth, I tell ya what for!

Hitting the highway to some Bill Monroe is one of my guilty pleasures.

That’s my pet peeve too. Like, my best offer is what I listed it at. Make me an offer

I’ve found that the universal currency for Craigslist is dirt bikes. No matter what you’re selling, someone offers you a dirt bike for it.

I will take the 60%ers over the ‘Whats your best price?’ people. At least a 60%er makes an offer. More than once I have put a vehicle up on CL only to have someone reply that they are interested, but ‘Whats your best price?’ And then they get insulted when I restate my listing price with the caveat that I won’t…

I prefer to keep it old-school and smear Vaseline on a UV filter.

Yes, some of those images were giving Bob Guccione’s Penthouse shots from the late-70s a run for the money in haze department. Experimenting is better than popping terrible shots with a slab phone, so have at it with the filters. (But buy a circular polarizing filter first.)

2019 has been a weird one for all of us.

Inception sucks. It needed to be said then, now and forever. Crap story/characters covered up by useless plot “twists”. Maybe I just don’t get it. Now get off my lawn.

Don’t forget the Death Wobble ride for the kids.

It is daunting as the curve ascends rapidly. Suddenly, you want better pics you gotta spend 10k on lenses, bodies, lights, tripods, filters, etc. BUT - phone cameras have gotten so damn good that, unless you’re doing alot of photoshopping or blowing a picture up, or using a wild lens most people on instagram can’t…
