I think you meant 50% of drivers are above the median. It's only true of the average if you have a symmetric distribution of skill. 90% of drivers could actually be above average if their skill level was grouped tightly together and the remaining 10% were so terribly bad that it dragged the average that far down.

This being Jalopnik, and given that he didn't say what he was ranking them in order of, my guess is it has something to do with nostalgia and/or quirkiness.

This could be the reason why Australian Chainsaw Massacre was never made into a movie. It's not difficult to outrun a psychopath trying to lug around a V8 engine on a hand truck.

I'll be in Nashville for a wedding in May, and I was just looking at flights back home and my best option is 8 hours after I check out of my hotel. I was worried I wouldn't have anything to do during that time. I am no longer worried about that.

AWD is overkill. All you need is a set of winter tires with a low-torque engine. Rotaries were built for snow.

I mean, many of those cars look interesting, or even cool. I do think the blue NSX is very well done, and the 80's CRX race car looks fantastic. But it's hard to describe a a hood snorkel or unnecessary hood vents as tasteful.

I'm not entirely sure you're very familiar with the definition of the word tasteful.

My rotary turned ten years old this year. There are no new rotaries that I can replace her with if she decides to kick the apex-sealed bucket. This saddens me.

How can you be so callous about the life of a human being? Do you know anyone who has been struck by a car? Anyone who has had their life changed, ruined, or ended by an accident?

An old friend of mine from high school just lost her fiance a few weeks ago to a hit and run accident. It was early in the morning, foggy,…

Sears has a Craftsman 2 1/2 ton floor jack and a pair of jack stands for $45, but it's a door buster and that only lasts until 1 PM. Looks like I might be swapping out my O2 sensor today!

The official Hyundai Motor America corporate blog is called Hyundai Like Sunday. If they want us to pronounce it that way I'll play along.

The key here is that it forces you to drive a speed "somewhere" in between. Not exactly in between.

First of all, the phrase "no va" (literally "doesn't go") and the word "nova" are distinct entities with different pronunciations in Spanish: the former is two words and is pronounced with the accent on the second word; the latter is one word with the accent on the first syllable. Assuming that Spanish speakers would…

The C-Max actually edges out the Prius V by 1 MPG on the combined rating, even with the recent downward revisions. You can have better driving dynamics with just as much smug!

You understand how percentages work, right? If out of 100k trucks sold you have 100 complaints about paint defects, and this cuts it down to 18 complaints for the next 100k that would be an 82% improvement. It means nothing about the starting quality levels.

Ahhh... Elgin! The Detroit of the Chicago suburbs.

It wasn't as good as it should have been, I'll give you that. Mostly due to the three speed automatic it came with. But the 2600 pound curb weight made it a lot more fun to drive than the Corolla will be.

Those horsepower and torque numbers are identical to my old 1995 Dodge Neon. Not impressed.

You really shouldn't be robbing a bank so close to your home anyway.

I give you the CAT C32 engine, a 32.2 L turbodiesel that generates 1900 hp, 5300 lb-ft of torque, and weighs 3.5 tons. I touched one once. It was glorious.
