Meh...the Ikara’s the only original-looking piece; everything else looks like a knock-off of something better.

If you can stop a kangaroo from being so... violent, I’d imagine they’d make a really efficient way of getting around. Those things are muscular. And scary. You’d probably need anti-nausea medication though.

That’s some opinion you have there.

Well... if I were getting paid millions for the doing the same thing over and over, I wouldn’t change either.

I’m shocked that guys who’ve spent 20 years being really successful doing the same thing don’t want to change.

I agree with your assessment. Paul hosed himself by doing what many technical shops do: “If it’s not invented here, it’s crap”. If he’d just made a deal with Ford/Chevy/VW/Hyundai/Yamaha/some other small drive train manufacturer, he’d have been selling them. What he chose to do instead was reinvent the FWD drive train…

Word of advice to F. Just call it a Sport Wagon. You can get away with that and it will be the first honestly labeled ‘suv’ in years.

Ran when parked

Given the estimated level of douchebaggery suggested by the stunt itself, the vehicle involved, and the errant speaker enclosure, I’m guessing airsoft.

Bass? Dropped.

My mom used to open the sunroof on her ‘64 Beetle and let me and my friend ride standing on the running boards and holding on to the edge of the sunroof as she drove around the back streets. A little later, when I was 13 or so, she decided it was time for me to learn to drive, so we went to the grocery store parking…

The best car experience I had with my mom was a lesson in courage and decisiveness.

I was about 4 years old and my sister was about 6. The family had just bought a new Ford Pinto station wagon. White with tan interior. This was in the late 70s or early 80s. Probably 1979.

My sister and I loved to ride in the wagon…

Mom grew up in Italy and moved to the US with my Dad when he met her in Abruzzi. A young woman in a strange land who didn’t yet know the language. She learned to drive in America, in a 1963 Buick Riviera with the 425. You can’t even imagine the size difference between that car and the Italian cars she rode in when in…

I had just put a cold air intake on my car and was revving it in the garage when my mom flung open the garage door, looked right at me and after a pregnant pause...”sounds bitchin” then went back inside without a word.

Growing up my mom always drove small 5spd econoboxes, a ‘79? Horizon and an ‘84 Buick Skyhawk wagon. Usually with the restraint that a mom with young 2 kids should exhibit with two young children in the car. But when twisty Pennsylvania back roads would present themselves, she’d let loose a little, speeds went up,…

Why so many early ‘80s Chrysler K-Cars in the trailer?

I don’t know his personal beliefs (nor do I care to look them up), but it is possible for people to be war/history buffs and still not agree with the past. There are hundreds of civil war reenactments every year in the US. The people dressing up aren’t hoping the south wins this time (Ok, some are). It was a major…

Thank you for this depressing news. I have been staying away from Jalopnik for a while after all the political crap it was posting rather than auto journalism. I finally come back and find out that my favorite motorcycle writer is gone.

Oh, a 20% import tax is ggoingg to be offset by the tcorprate tax reduction to an all time low of 15% Dow from 40%. It’s actually more likely these cars will be cheaper... But you probably won’t report on that.

I gotta ask...ya did all that to work on a Neon?
