This was once one of my favorite movies. I find it hard to watch now owing to that asshole, Pill Cosby.

Manufacturing back then (all components) was stateside, that’s what enabled that kind of turnaround. The world economy have spread component manufacturing around the world. I won’t tout the benefits of a world economy, but this highlights drawbacks. The manufacturing has no “Shit” to get together. Some of the…

My theory on these failures (and I realize this is beyond the level of most Jalopnik discussions) is as follows:

Also couldn’t hurt to have a car a lady friend wouldn’t mind riding in. A comfy ride will get you further than you’s think.

$5,000 for a 24-25 year old, mid-90s VW is crack pipe all day, all night.

I think I may pass on this VW and buy something that could save a good bit more money. With oil prices zooming to zero dollars a barrel, a purchase like this may be in order —

I owned a 2nd gen Legend coupe with the type II V6 and an automatic for a year or two around 2011ish. I was the third owner, and the car came with complete documentation and maintenance records dating to the original window sticker. I bought it at around 150k and sold it at 165k. It was a fantastic car. It made…

I own a ‘95 L sedan, automatic, in very clean driver condition with 201k miles (my car pictured below). I like it enough that I’ve put a multiple of what it’s worth into maintenance, although the car is at the stage where basically everything is prone to failure. It’s not either outstandingly sporty or outstandingly…

I believe 4189lbs for the Trailblazer is the GVWR, whereas the 2906-3150lbs reported for the HR-V is curb weight.

If you buy an unrestored 2nd-gen F Body, you’re buying at least some rust. It’s a relative concept.

Inherently, there is nothing wrong with stock buybacks. There is, however, something extremely wrong when spend 96!!!! percent of your cash on it over the past decade plus. Thats insane. They dont deserve a dime from the federal government. They did this to themselves

This is where a sane system would require some sort of statutory reserve plan in exchange for the bailout. 

He's getting older.  Transitioning to minivans is natural nesting behavior.

Jason, I’ll drag race you with our cheap Chinese electric car.

“You paid over $1,000 for a car?! CP.”

In 2018, Trump’s administration cut the pandemic response team, and sent Rear Admiral Ziemer packing. He wasn’t replaced.

Him and his family are amazingly incompetent when it comes to actually leading. Anyone can be a manager, but few can lead and inspire, and since he basically wants to rule as a king (he detests our system of checks and balances), he feels that whatever he says at whatever time of night should become immediate law. It…

On one hand, old jeeps are so easy to steal, no matter if you install a steering wheel Club, alarm, battery kill switch.  But a minivan, you can leave it unlocked with keys on the dashboard, windows down all day long, no one will bother it.

The US government mishandled this in every single way possible. When news broke of this thing in Wuhan, the next thing done should have been setting up our testing infrastructure. We should have been getting ready for it to show up here. The only way we could have contained this is through rigorous testing and a good,…

Airport workers just aren’t showing up for their shifts. And probably rightly so, since the higher ups are just fucking morons. There is incompetence everywhere and this virus is exposing it all. Employees coming in contact with possibly sick passengers without protective gear?
