Tldr version?

I visited Colorado for the first and last time in February - the disaster that is I70 was enough to make this grown man cry.

Semi-related: most credit cards do not consider Turo a car “rental” company and won’t extend rental coverage to trips. I like Turo because you can find something fun to drive and it’s (usually) cheaper than traditional rentals, but when you tack on insurance the costs begin to even out. I wonder if the same will be…

In your post you did both by answering your own question. Do you have a source to share? Asking genuinely since this post was very light in details.

If only Amtrak had thought of this before bringing on Byford!!! They shoulda hired you instead.

Good to see Haas get rid of their money woes by signing Palm Angels as a sponsor, a design house that sells t-shirts from $300 - $800.

“Ford’s research with customers show that the Transits drive an average of 76 miles per day.”

“Ford’s research with customers show that the Transits drive an average of 76 miles per day”

Studies were conducted that show the 100-mile range is plenty for companies who operate in a city. If you do not work in an urban centre this van is not for you, so you’re just yelling into the wind. I cannot fathom driving anywhere close to 300 miles a day - this must be some mid-western or Texas bullshit.

If you let people make a habit of not doing “simple” things like signaling, stopping at stop signs, etc. then they do it over and over until it causes an accident. And it probably won’t be the offending driver who gets hurt either, but instead the pedestrian or cyclist they hit. This unfortunate behaviour needs to…

For the infrastructure nerds out there, this is a fascinating project and construction has begun. Here’s an overly-sensationalized video

Just here for the armchair analysts who believe they know more about the workings of this deal than a former F1 driver; a racing company that fields teams in Indy, Extreme E, Formula E, IMSA, and others; and a global auto manufacturer with lots of racing history as well. They should’ve had a Jalopnik QOTD before…

Not at all. This is like buying a 12V drill and it operates at 12V as advertised. If you suddenly want 20V you don’t have to return your drill and buy a new one... you just pay a bit of money and get that capability. Seems reasonable.

Just because you disagree with something does not make their research “flawed” or “wrong”. In fact, you have jumped about 100 levels (pun intended) to reach the conclusion that this car is a game. It’s still a vehicle that will get you places - all that’s different is how you add power to it. This isn’t different…

There are only 9 races to go and Verstappen is leading the championship by 109 points. He doesn’t need external help to win. Whoever thought of this conspiracy, those who buy into it, and especially those that wrote those comments, are deranged. Yes, that’s a strong word, but it’s the right word.

But you can also get a used ICE vehicle that’s a total lemon, that had its error code cleared just for the sale, and that will blow up in a week. A battery and motor is a far simpler mechanical combination than an engine and all the bits it requires to properly run. As an enthusiast you are familiar with ICEs but the…

It’s not the first time I’ve heard “Team X taking Ricciardo is a good PR move” - but why? His track record is better than some but 8 wins over 11 years does not make him a superstar. 

Very cool, I’d enjoy reading a series about an intro to 3D printing - whether that’s on Jalopnik or someone has another great resource.

First time hearing about this series - looks pretty cool. Boats are really interesting.

Another political piece on what used to be a great car site. Quit pushing your “anti-theft” agenda, Jalopnik.
