Give Jerry a break. He broke down in North Miami...AT NIGHT!. Do you have any idea how terrifying that is for a Cadillac-driving Lexus owner? Its nothing that years of therapy can't fix, but still...

Maybe they're like Playboy models. You know you'll never "drive" one, but they're still fun to look at. They're "ass-pirational."

It looks like a Buick. A juked-up tuner Buick.

That's a platypus face if ever there was one.

I'm going to build my 390 with 10" over grider springer forks, a coffin tank, King'n Queen seat, and a 3' sissy bar with a Black Power fist at the top. And chrome EVERYTHING!

I got to see the H2 up-close and personal at the AIM Expo in Orlando. The race-version. I'd pay $25k for the street version in a heartbeat. To throw out some clichés: it's a paradigm shift. Its an order of magnitude more advanced. It made me want to be a better man.

So a cheesy Gulfstream just doesn't cut it for the hyper-rich anymore? Now they need a $100 million supersonic jet to validate their sense of self-worth? What's next for those asshats, private space-stations for zero-gee fucking? Oh, wait, that's on the agenda too.

I work for a multi-national corporation with IT in India, and many Indian IT and EE staff in the US. I've noticed that people who'd be horrified at hearing "the n-word" have no problem at all making wisecracks about or fun of the Indian folks. I doubt they're truly racist in their hearts, but I also notice they…

There's a storm coming, Mr. 84 Fucking Cars. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so few Bugattis for the rest of us.

Where did the 300 HP number come from? I've been following the bike on most every available source, and the "guesstimates" are 250 tops. If that's a real number, yay, but AFAIK Kawi hasn't released any specifications yet.

I have discovered that a screw-shaped device, if it is well made from starched linen, will rise in the air if turned quickly.

If you ever tire of Jalopnik, there's a brilliant career waiting for you at The Onion. Good show!

Vic Elford was my instructor for 3 days at the Skip Barber Car Control class I took at Sebring. he told me a few stories about racing the 917, which has always been my "idol" car of that type. My favorite was how at Le Mans (at the time) he'd be doing over 200 mph literally a few feet away from people sipping tea at…

Great video, thanks for posting it. I recall the arguments over airbags well; that was when I was just starting to drive. Iacocca referred to them as "high explosives placed throughout the car, just waiting to go off" in his auto-biography. Even seatbelts were controversial; people felt the requirement to add them…

Considering the primary competition was Land Rover, which has it's headlights almost touching, maybe "spacing of headlights" made a little sense as an advantage.

Anyone else care to make sense of all this?

I have to say, that in person, the car is far more appealing than it is in photos or videos. There was one in the parking lot of a Rochester area mall and it took me a few minutes to recognize it as a Viper. The owner caught me snapping photos of it and invited me to sit in it. I drove the Gen-1 car at Skip Barber…

Remember when the first Miatas hit the dealerships? People were happy to pay almost double the MSRP for them. Same with the PT Cruiser; a couple I worked with bought one of the first ones for over $30k. Motorcycles aren't much better; I rode to Miami to the KTM dealer Saturday to price a Super Duke. The owner said…

God bless you, Mr. Helmut. Nothing succeeds like excess, and you're one successful builder. Balls of steel to ride that thing as well...

This tragic accident is fully and completely the fault of Mr. Ward. HE lost control of himself. HE stepped onto a track full of speeding race cars. HE ran directly at Mr. Stewart's car. The video leaves no question that these are the facts, and any speculation about what Mr. Stewart might or might not have done to…
