I have a relative that was a project manager on the phalanx program many years ago. The impression I get is that solving problems and constant improvement is simply part of the process. As an example, he told a story of the gun initially having a cyclical wobble that was deemed good enough at the time. And later,…

That’s all good, but what they cannot do is continue with their fruitless premium vehicle aspirations.  That will be the end of Mazda.

How about we frame this as value-vs-the-competition issue? The BOLT is currently selling for roughly $25K. That’s before any state, federal or other non-GM incentives. Sure, GM rebates aren’t going to last forever, but the question is why would I buy these low-range EVs like the Mini and the Mazda when I can get more…

“And, for sure, this investigation could conclude in the end that Gamble hasn’t done anything wrong, but the fact that this is an issue at all tells you all you need to know about the UAW.”

Union bashing is easy site traffic, so, why not go there, right? This was a passable article minus about three key low-blow…

Bastard, beat me to it.

Pretty sure that makes you some kind of super-villain. Hey man, as someone who has also lost some share of his hair, cut that squiggle thing you got going on off. Now that they are pushing you in front of a video camera it’s a little distracting.  Either that, or give it it’s own animated series.

Now, if only electric bikes were allowed in national parks, national forests and reserves. Also, while the idea of electric bikes appeals to me, no way in hell would I share the road with idiot drivers.

Rather than force the populace to get off their asses, I’d prefer to see employers forced to allow telecommuting.  

OK, sure. Took my Veloster Turbo in for lack of power. Car came back with a new turbo with a dented outlet (like it was dropped, or damaged in shipping) and an engine ground strap barely on. Now the car is throwing an airbag code (which means the passenger airbag probably is nonfunctional at the moment) and has paint…

It’ll also come with the same eight-speed wet dual-clutch transmission as Hyundai puts into the Veloster N

“But a second argument in favor of doing such a thing is the inherent versatility of a range-extender.”
^This. I’m a little worried the auto industry pendulum is swinging too hard towards all-electric. The Volt powertrain isn’t obsolete, it was just in the wrong kind of chassis for today’s tastes. Put the Volt…

The whole premise that the Mach-E is a Mustang is just irrelevant marketing nonsense, which makes the moral quandary about the Camaro or Corvette moot.

This was my first COD title. I leveled up to 130 or so and uninstalled. First, hacks are showing up in PC play. And second, the time-to-kill stat you mentioned really sucks the fun out of the game. If they doubled or tripled health and either severely delayed or eliminated regen they’d have a really good game on their…

1999's Honda Spocket. This concept preceded the CR-Z by a decade, so I’m not counting that as related. It has a bed! And a convertible top:

Although the brown color scheme and condition of the Coronet make for a strong showing, the festive holiday shrubbery and slightly askew placement of the front plate on the Diplomat are too ironic to lose. Winner: Diplomat. In the end I’d gladly be pulled over by either vehicle.

Know what really saved him? The inertia of his massive balls swung him back towards the middle. This is known as the Ballinger effect, first theorized by the ancient Greek mathematician Testiculus.

....oh dear.

A fender flare AND a handy organizer?

When a fender flare is not a fender flare. Can we call this a sedan? I mean, words don’t mean anything anymore.

Frankly, I’m moving WAY over so the guy or gal in the way-too-wide-to-comfortably-fit-through-there Harley wont ding my mirror because the driver adjacent to me had their head up their ass and squeezed him or her over. Sorry, fishbowls, but about 1/3 of the time I’d categorize the lane splitting I see as unsafe. You…

“I don’t know anything about the car in the image. Nor do I know much about the picture—who took it, when they took it, or where they took it—but The Breaking News Team at VerticalScope, Inc., which owns the Mach E Club forum, notified Jalopnik of its existence. We’ll keep trying to figure out the image’s provenance…
