From Valentino after the race. Restart happened 15minutes after the crash. He was visibly shaken by it. 1000 yard stare etc. “

As usual, Jalopnik only covers motorcycle racing when there is an extraordinary crash, injury, or death. It is arguably the most exciting motorsport there is, yet these are the only times you can be bothered. It would be better if you just didn’t. Ghouls.

I just don’t see any enjoyment in driving with the windows down for normal driving... my hair just goes everywhere, it’s super noisy, and dust/dirt/flies get in. I’d rather keep the windows up and let my climate control system do its thing with its nice new activated charcoal cabin filter.

As I sit here with a beer after driving home windows down, I wish I could give you more stars.

This falls firmly under “life’s too short to not have fun” for me. Like yes, dark chocolate isn’t really healthy for you, and a drink a day doesn’t really help cardiovascular health. But fuck it. I like chocolate, I like alcohol, and I like driving wiht the windows down.

Erin, did you write your own headline or was this forced on you by the Herbs? Because this is really just clickbait and sullies your reputation and Jalopnik’s.

I was reading an article this morning over on Mashable (linked from Neatorama) describing research that had been released on how bad microwaving your water was for making tea, because unlike a conventional kettle that heated from the bottom and distributed heat by convection of the water, a microwave heated the…

Why did I have to scroll down this far to get to that Simpson’s meme?

And in before

Its going to be interesting in 12 years when these screens turn to yellow-shyte and Tesla isn’t interested in supporting “old cars off warranty”

I like a lot of things about Tesla, but the interior design (mostly the fact that everything is touchscreen-based), along with reliability concerns, is enough for me to not want to buy one.  This isn’t just “I’m older and like my buttons the way they used to be!”  Touch screen controls for things you need to do while…

Our Lord and Savior Bozi and I got in a super long, super dumb twitter argument with someone that chose “fan speed should only every be in a touch screen sub menu because why would you adjust climate control while driving” as a hill to die on several months ago.

Gods, please, automakers. Leave the HVAC controls as physical buttons and knobs!

Touch screens are dumb and dangerous for any functions of a car that are actively controlled while driving. Sure, bury settings in touch menus. But stereo volume, hvac (esp defrost), wipers, cruise, trasmission, blinker, lights, etc all need to be physical buttons that can be manipulated without looking.

In before all the Tesla fanboys come and tell you how you are dumb, wrong, that windshield wiper controls in a touch screen are actually the best way to handle controlling them (because reasons), people who can’t figure it out are dumb, and you should bow before your new lord Elon Musk

No, what’s even more fucking irritating that “Elon is literally saving the world” is “He’s built electric cars and reusable rockets, what have you done?”, as if not having the same resume renders one incapable of calling out bullshit when they see it.

The only vehicle in this whole list that’s actually interesting is the Crossfire, because it’s a weird vehicle that’s not totally ugly, totally awful or totally busted.

To me every single one of those is worthless. Why collect garbage?

I wood like that in my car.
