Jalopnik, you are slipping. You didn’t answer the all-important question:

So the unconfirmed terrorist was sucked out his own hole, on fire, and was the only one that died? It’s kinda sick, but I find that funny. Hahah. Man that guy must’ve sucked at life

I like to decompress after takeoff just as much as anyone else, but this person went to great heights before taking the plunge.

Judging by the scorch marks and blood stains, and the way the body peeled out; it appears a small explosive device was detonated inside the cabin next to the window. The reports of a body falling could very well be the terrorist as the immediate decompression of the cabin could very easily pull someone out of the…

The plastic didn’t take kindly to the hot engine/cold engine cycle,and eventually would crack,spilling coolant in the cylinder valley on top of the engine. My other…

I am not convinced that this was as bad as it was reputed to be, but it was apparently a real flaw that would have been relatively easy to avoid. My recollection is that it did not apply to the station wagon, which had a different gas tank. Maybe this is one of the reasons that so many Jalopniks like wagons.

1. Split headlights.

Because that horrible quality still highly exceeded the demands of the people who bought those tubs of shit.
