Hilariously, since I heard of her case many years ago this is exactly who I imagined her to be! It brings a bit of levity to an otherwise disturbing case of mental illness that is only interesting to most of us because it involves stowing away on planes, which seems romantic on the surface.

I’m no Musk/Tesla crazy, but they do have a point that LiDAR’s limitations in cost, bulk, efficiency and detailed identification of an object points to the future being stereoscopic cameras. I get your point that a hybrid system is best at this time, but the intersection of a car company trying to cut costs and a…

No, it’s not the 70's anymore, lots of nice cars parked on the street these days and not many old ones. I actually miss the hooptie days!

We can solve this whole thing if they just refund all the tenants and bulldoze that entire ugly-as-fuck faux colonial 1970's architectural abortion of a complex and resettle them somewhere with passable aesthetics. The idea that management of such an eyesore of a complex can’t handle some jalopies in the parking lot…

Remnants of old Jalopnik is good Jalopnik :D

Why it can’t be both? I’m thinking of the Ryan Dunn crash for starters, then Paul Walker, then rinse repeat. Of course any car will catch fire if you ram it into something fast enough.

European parking garages are already so compact, eventually the entire Continent is going to end up trapped in their vehicles, forced to climb out the sunroof! In Switzerland if you want to drive into virtually any town your only option is usually a tight entrance into a tight underground garage where you’ll then have…

El Chapo would like a word with you from his prison burner phone...

Some cheekiness from that Wiki entry:

We should probably check that odometer...

“Where’s Enzo?” - an educational children’s book series published out of Maranello is on the case!

Sorry for your loss.

I’m not sure it’s figured into the gasoline consumption equation, but apparently we are nearing a population peak as well (projected to occur 2050-2070), as societies become wealthier and more technologically/medically advanced they tend to have lower fertility. So while yes, Nigeria (Africa in general) and…

“Nightcrawler” is a movie about a guy who is an all night car accident/murder/robbery cameraman who chases emergency calls around Southern California, often arriving on scene at grisly accidents before the cops do, filming dismembered bodies, people trapped in wreckage, etc. It’s a real profession and after they’ve…

If it was a Porsche he would’ve died in the ensuing fire. Problem solved I suppose.

You clearly don’t understand the value system of pre-Nader America! Or actually maybe you do ;)

He got lucky, for every high speed accident like this where a person walks away without a scrape there are a dozen with major life changing injuries and/or fatalities. Today’s vehicles are better at saving lives, yes, but it should be understood you can still easily become crippled or die, just watch a few SoCal…

Hungarian: “Free Transylvania!” Other Hungarian: “Uh, we’re not doing that anymore.” Romanian: “What will it take to get you into a brand new Lodgy today?”

What is clear is that you’ve been hurt by someone you love, aren’t going to take it anymore, and are just trying to survive despite thinking she’s a loser anyway.

That leads to another question, why is everything behind the dash razor sharp and ready to slice?!?
