Carburetors. Virtually gone in modern cars, and was supplanted by fuel injection and now direct injection. It stuck around for a good while and was good for what it was, but with fuel economy and emissions being a bigger deal, these things are as good as dinosaurs these days.

Nope.

Growing up, they were called shadetree mechanics. Today, they are shadetree electricians! Kudos to this guy!

Before we say HAHA STEALERSHIP lets look at it in their (my) eyes, okay?

"Objectively bizarre" is literally the same as saying "factual opinion." They are small and underpowered because of the unique history of post-war, post-occupation Japan, including original scarcity of resources (particularly oil) and a favorable tax structure. The cartoonish aspects of the kei boxes are only part of…

This used to be my driveway, so posts like these really push my buttons. I wish more of America needed and wanted kei cars as much as I do.

Now ya did it: Torchy will fly over there on his own dime just to drive one of 'em to say that he did-and he'll find some way of doing it as well.

"...where I drive shit Torchy can't have."

Ever since Jason Torchinsky wrote up his piece on the N Box Slash (N/), I've been dying to drive one. Then I noticed that one of the dealerships nearby had one on display inside their dealership, and I knew I just had to give it a spin. Welcome to the very first Jalopnik East review, where I drive shit Torchy can't…

I've got a set of WRG3s on my GTO this year. They are really only a "just in case", since if I know ahead of time that the roads will be snow-covered, I'll drive my truck. If my plans involved driving the GTO regardless of weather, I'd have gone with some narrower Hakkapeliitta R2s. Nokian isn't well-known in the…

I really didn't want to wade in on this issue, because two men lost their life in a rather horrific manner that had nothing to do with politics. However, I have never seen such a big bunch of whiney bitches. First off being a police officer is not even in the top 10 dangereous jobs in the United States (http://www.bls.…

This is what's needed. Bring in the top dogs, tell them to straighten this shit up, then start firing from the top.

Maybe de Blasio could pull a Reagan and tell the cops to get back out on the street and do their jobs - or else have Cuomo bring in the National Guard and de Blasio can start start firing the cops.

What about...eyebrows...?

Jesus. Not only will this make things so much more scary and horrible for the woman if he did get the name right, but if he got it wrong then he's also endangering a completely unrelated woman! There is absolutely no justification for this, and it's irresponsible journalism *at best* if not willfully malicious.

HAHA, I can have it!

American bought a mertic shitton of Airbus A32X's, and US Airways is almost entirely Airbus.
