This is the correct take - living within your means is so uncool nowadays.

It’s fine if they were trailer queen show cars. It’s not fine when you destroy a car’s ability to operate then use it on public streets putting others at risk. Some use these fundamentally broken cars as daily drivers. They can’t get up curb cuts, the parts are stressed beyond their intended purpose and they can’t…

I don’t care that it’s a Prius. I’m okay with Priuses.

Bingo! Radically lowered, with appropriate camber angles works on a SMOOTH racetrack, but is rather counter-productive in the real world. As are excessively stiff springs and dampers.

One of those fads that I just never understood.

Hard pass. If they were just sitting on display somewhere, I could admire these interesting “automotive sculptures”. But driving these crippled things on the street- Nope, that’s where I draw the line.

It doesn’t “count” as an accident if you use the occasion to upgrade the bodywork to the next gen, ammirite?

I’m only 15 mm tall, what’s the confusion?

This is terrible for this man and other people like him, but the problem isn’t with Uber, it’s that a medallion is $700k. This artificial economy has always been problematic. There are also issues with ride sharing, but the answer lies somewhere in the middle, not protecting this outdated system.

Just follow BMW’s lead, and make upa bunch of new weird segments.

Oh bullshit. These studies exist only to justify more regulations. They’re politically motivated from the beginning and the ‘researchers’ set out from day one to generate one conclusion — that everything is bad and more government regulations are necessary.

Nothing worse than someone pushing 100 decibels at residential speeds.

Absolutely. And true jalops won’t rev their engine at six in the morning or do burnouts in their neighborhood or run over pedestrians in their Mustangs. Those things are idiotic.

Most of mankind has fallen out of love with the automobile. They’ve been made to be as boring and mundane as possible to make a profit and in turn has made people despise them and see them as just an object. Go look at old photos from the 50s and 60s. The cars were essentially treated like a member of the family or a…

I’m totally with you. I can love my car and also realize it’s not the most perfectly clean environmentally friendly transport. And I get how noise can hurt people, slowly and in ways hard to quantify on a day to day basis. I used to live on a semi-busy suburban main street growing up. At night it was usually silent,…

A loud exhaust on the track or a video yes; in traffic or in the neighborhood no! (Slight increase for performance exhaust OK.. straight pipe = asshole regardless if it’s a bike or car/truck and you operate on the street.

Naturally, this will be met with a lot of resistance on a car blog like this, but I would hope there are some Jalops who can step back and not just rush to defend something they like without actually considering whether it’s harmful. It doesn’t take away from my love of cars to know that they pollute the environment,…

Turnabout’s fair play, space creatures!

The one who’s about to quit.

Well, um, two separate courts and everyone on this website thinks you’re wrong.
