Thats good you knew but your wife didnt. As someone else said, its paying for the knowledge. Im not saying you have to like it, but its the way it works.

89 taurus that would randomly die anything from idle to at highway speed. I lived in a very rural part of Colorado and diagnosing it was my counting sweeps on a multimeter. Everyone kept saying fuel pump. I dropped and replaced 2x and finally got a tech at a dealership who said it was the ignition control module.…

Please Gizmodo fire her. She is an idiot and is pushing her personal agendas. Im sorry you pay her shit for a paycheck and she thinks the american taxpayer should subsidize public transit, but I love my cars, I love to drive, and her incessant drivel over how cars are evil is pushing me to boycott your site. She needs…

Between my wife and I, we have a Shelby GT500, a supercharged mustang gt convertible, an awd explorer and my beast kick butt 4wd F150 with a 5.0. Im down with what youre preaching. I dont ride the bus because Im not a lazy, good for nothing loser. Losers ride public transit.

Youve got to love when an Aussie sensationalizes a Brit with a middle eastern name whos recently been to Iraq tried to enter the US from the western seaboard and gets denied entry and is clearly critical of that. Maybe if some terrorists crashed some planes into the sydney opera house he wouldnt be so negative about…

You buy shit cars and shit beer. Im surprised you have a single friend in the world. Still a super funny read though! Id be your friend until you handed me a PBR.

Why are you even on jalopnik, dipshit?

You yourself have no credibility when you actually quote the profanity. I once had a guy slam my mustang and then he was going to flee the scene. I verbally lost it and had his gf not been there i would have beat the shit out him i was so angry.

I had 2 ‘81 f150s over the years. The first one was the lemon. Day after I bought it tranny went out. It was problem after problem including the idle of shame drive home with a broken throttle cable once. I sold it to my FIL who worked on it over 2 years and was going to slam it with a pearl paint scheme. He did all…

People only say that because they want you to learn from their mistakes instead of you repeating their errors. If I may offer that I think lanesplitting is the absolute stupidest legally allowed activity on the roadways. I would also say if I still rode a bike I would TOTALLY DO IT too. Part of it is the thrill, part…

Its true. I had an 81 f150 with a vacuum leak but didnt know it was going on. The cruise control was vacuum based and the engine started racing. I was with my wife and when it was approaching 100 very quickly I shifted from drive to neutral, engine started screaming overreving and i keyed off then coasted the big…

Clarkson has maintained from the start this was all him and he was out of line. He made a mistake and owned up to it. Lets move on.

I would open the door and leap to safety...that is what i woudl try until HAL says Sorry Dave but you cant open the pod bay door.

You allude to another factor....hackers cant do nearly as much carnage with an 81 f150 as they could with an autonomous vehicle. I cant wait for the first hack where people die in an a-car because they gave up all control. Its not a question of if but only when.

I disagree. You could feel like the kids in the supermarket carts with the pseudo car wheels. You could even make fake vroom vroom sounds while you wait for the tow vehicle.

Heck most idiots just break down in the middle of the street now blocking traffic anyway! Why people with piece of shit cars get in the number 1 lane baffles the mind.

Wow an article that Alissa wrote that i dont think is total bullshit. Proof of the adage that even a broken clock is right twice daily. I think your article brushes upon a few very important potential uses and that would be dangerous or those with a history of impaired driving and the handicapped. No more red licenses…

You werent there so you dont know everything that happened. Quit talking smack because it could have been a small number or maybe the dad was a total dick or any other number of reasons. Im sorry for the dad and the son who will watch him die, but those are their family problems so quit making them everyone elses.…

Yeah! Get this tree hugger shit off Jalop! I want 600 hp stories because Im not a 12 year old anymore or pretending to be!

You know how racism works? Really? Keep spewing your idiotic comments. It only reinforces how stupid you are.
