I had a kind of similar experience not as awkward but just as uncomfortable for me.

That’s why I’m asking- I grew up around basic f-150s used for construction and basic farm duty, so to me truck = basic hauler, gonna get dirty, ain’t nothin’ fancy. The fancy trucks still boggle my mind. So it’s good to get a reason for their existence- not everyone grew up the same way I did :)

So if your car gets stuck on the way down, do you get to shake the building?

Building Crown Vics was like printing money for Ford. A cheap car to make and maintain with a guaranteed customer base and no need for marketing or advertising? Gold Jerry. Gold.

I know right.....

I have never even driven one much less owned one but there is something even me appreciates about these old Audis. There must be a way to save them and keep them on the road and also off the roads.

Megasquirt and adapted sensors from other cars? Aftermarket wiring harnesses? Galvanizing the entire chassis and body?

There’s something both profoundly confusing and refreshing about this picture...

As someone who literally just yesterday got myself anothet 87 5000 turbo quattro manual, this article is appreciated. Well done raph

Libertarians are not going to be voting for any Democrat.
I mean we could make an argument that Jill Stein running under Green Party syphoned votes, but even with those votes, Hillary would have still lost. The DNC lost its own election, by being shady and corrupt. The same moderate and swing voters that went to…

That’s funny. I live in one of the most liberal areas of the country, and my old Miata and motorcycles have not been crushed by anyone yet. California itself is the birth place of various American Car Cultures. And Democrats are precisely the party of compromise and pragmaticism. The fact that Obamacare is a plan…

I am an auto enthusiast but I don’t pretend that my hobby has no impact on the environment, health or society. I guess I am ‘suspect’ now.

“global warmists”

The writer you’re thinking of was from Gawker, not Jalopnik. Now stop being such a Joe McCarthy.

I’m not saying it’s not a big deal, just that it’s a HUGE deal for poor people who happen to have old cars. I have old cars by choice, but I have three of them, and this would be a major burden.

You have to realize that Johnson pulled more people away from Trump than Clinton, right? He gave her a better chance if anything.

So you’re arguing that the Libertarian party candidate stole votes from the Democrat? OK....

Nonsense. Nurses are among the most trampled upon workers in the country. My wife is a nurse, and she continually comes home with stories of out and out exploitation from no lunch to poor sanitary controls to staffing issues. If anyone needs/deserves a union, it’s those great people who take care of us when we are ill.

Fire the damn “union” supporters and get new people who are willing to work. Also increase the wages a bit and start listening to you employees.

Maybe if politicians on both sides of the aisle didn’t spend so much time trying to cripple them they wouldn’t have to take such extreme measures at times.

Unions are a double-edged sword. They are intended to take power away from the businesses and give it to the employees — powers that keep the employees from being used and abused. However, “Unions” in the US have become institutions unto themselves (as with every institution ever created by people), wherein furthering…
