Simply drop a fresh Plutonium-Pak™ into the reactor in your new Ford Nucleon and you’re good to go for another 100,000 miles! And it only takes five minutes at your local dealership! (Don’t try this at home.)

Maybe I’m not a typical case. A 100 mile range would be adequate for me, 150 miles would be excellent. One reason for this is because I have no intention of getting rid of my Miata any time soon, so if I need to make some kind of extra-long road trip where I’d have to fill up I could use that. I’d estimate over 95% of…

I saw that happen a few days ago in a post of mine but I hadn’t seen it since. 

For decades, the Republican 43 should have the rotting corpse of President Piggly hung around their necks. Never let them take it off.

In a pizzeria, when you go in and order a slice, they put the slice on a sheet of aluminum foil and toss that onto the hot floor of a pizza oven. It comes out great!

As an old-skool CAD operator who used a Summagraphics tablet for a couple decades I always wondered why tablets never became a popular high-end accessory for gamers. There are a lot of CAD operators and graphics pros out there, but I bet the gamer market is at least ten times larger and those people like spending…

Sure, the contractors were all

I drove a Miata for a couple years with Gorilla Tape holding the rear window on. I only had to replace the tape about every four months, it didn’t leak a drop, I could even put the top down, and the best part was I could get tape that color-matched the top so while it didn’t look classy it didn’t even look that bad.

In Florida you get a munificent $10 a day for jury duty. That’ll cover bus fare, but probably not a taxi. When I got jury duty, the guys I used to work for were willing to pay eight hours straight time for every day I missed, pretty good, huh? - but they insisted on me handing over that $10, no double-dipping with my…

Couldn’t help noticing the VW Type 2 on a book cover in an article about “Strength Through Joy” (“Kraft durch Freude”), and being a Jalponik reader I got a laugh out of it.

As everyone knows, the Washington Post is behind a paywall, and so long as they continue to repeatedly extrude “journalism” like this, I’m never paying to be admitted behind that wall - jeez, if I wanted to read editorials by snobby nitwits who haven’t got a clue, I’d subscribe to the fucking New York Times anyway -…

The older car manufacturers made sure it wouldn’t be The Connector. Typical of the entire industry’s shitty and failed “stall until it goes away” strategy.

The high price of a small electric car relative to an equally small ICE car is what makes small electric cars unviable today. But the price premium of electric cars over ICE cars is mainly due to the high cost of batteries. With battery costs dropping steadily and all the other parts of an EV drivetrain being improved…

You’re kidding.  That’s nuts.  Jeez, for that kind of money they could have bought an ‘80 Silverado.

“...like a 10 year old Blofeld...”

The typos are just another way of saying “We know the Republicans in the Senate wouldn’t find Donald Trump guilty of anything whatsoever even if he personally beheaded Ben Sasse and Lynn Cheney on the floor of Congress, so here’s a sheaf of papers which we are going to call ‘his defense.’ Typos? Type this: ‘fuck you!’”

There’s a video showing his imbecilic offspring boogiein’ down to disco music as the troops invaded the Capitol to “Hang Mike Pence!!!”. It made me wonder, what kind of dance-pop was playing at the Munich Party Hall on the Night of the Long Knives?

Since Citroën is involved, I would make a flagship luxury sedan with a hydropneumatic suspension, which I would sell as “The Most Comfortable Luxury Car in the World.”

He was lighting up a cigarette.

It depends. If they’re reasonably polite about it, you say, “OK! As a Maserati lover since childhood, I can understand how this dumb thing is a bit out of place in a line up of splendid Cars of Glory™ such as you have brought here. Well, have a nice day, anyway!” But if they’re hostile and threatening, they throw…
