No matter how confident you are with your partner, swapping often throws a wrench into the relationship.

I don’t have a garage, but in my driveway is an unremarkable 2006 Volvo V70 (named Pandora) that, as of today, I have agreed to say goodbye to. 4,709mm of Swedish utility. 2 litres across five cylinders of forced induction mediocrity. And yet, with nearly 350,000km on the clock (more than two-thirds I put on in the…

Yeah if you are a ‘bus life’ enthusiast and see ‘bus life’ as an end unto itself, I guess this is fun. Otherwise, spending $125K for purchase, plus maintenance, plus > $0.50/mile in fuel costs seems a pretty insane. I guess this math is similar for most large RV’s, right?

Ok here’s the heist plan. I’m going to get a truck and overalls and just take it.

The car suffered from a lack of marketing.

When I was in my early 20s, (1989 or so) a friend of mine had gone to Germany for a few years to work for McKinsey...and moved back rather suddenly. “Hey, Im coming back. I’ll call you when I get to Chicago. It’ll be a few weeks...” 

That’s what it’s like to chew 5 gum.

I’m going to set my mark for “cheap” here at $25,000. (Let us assume you put down $3,000, and you finance $22,000. With decent credit, that means your car payment comes in just under $400 per month at 60 months.)

It’s not just David and Jason leaving man. It’s the broken comments system. It’s the constant listicles. It’s the lack of proof reading, the lazy reprints/links to other outlet’s articles, the ill advised hot takes like the “It’s okay people are robbing trains because they lost their jobs” article from a few weeks…

The new recruits here lately have been confusing stunning engineering with the rich people who own them, and that their job should be to cover the vehicle first. Almost everyone who reads Jalopnik already thinks Bezos is a scumbag, piling on is just annoying. Spanfeller’s plan for G/O seems to be to turn it into a…

Manual transmissions. There, I said it, and I’ll happily turn in my “enthusiast” card. Clutching in stop and go traffic was a literal pain in the ass that I’m perfectly happy never experiencing again.

I’ll sidestep the politics and just say this: The US DoD is responsible for 7% of global emissions, and is the single largest producer of CO2. DoD investment in emission cutting measures will have meaningful impact on total global emissions and the availability of lower emissions technology to other organizations.

I’m french, they have the same kind of warning on food commercial and kids oriented snacks.

“Several decades on since flying cars made it into pop culture through appearances in Blade Runner and Back To The Future,”

No, the Swedish supercar manufacturer isn’t tuning Teslas, but it’s now making carbon dress-up parts — and they aren’t as expensive as you’d think.

Comments like these are why I read the comments section, thank you

In this corner of the world I am not sure we are ready for robot bin lorries. It is only three years since these ,

The ultimate jab is announcing the Hummer a year or so after the Cybertruck, and releasing it to customers a good year before anyone sees the Tesla.

I’m not saying I liked you more when you were dead, but I made bank selling my copies of your zine while you were.
