I think there should be an internet poll on what to name it

I read the headline and thought...

That’s phase 2 of the process. You have to consider how late the letter is in the alphabet

I’ve had people complete a left turn in the on-coming left-turning lane... regularly.

The good news about the UK (and Ireland) from an affordable vehicle point of view is:

If this site is going to report every stupid thing this person says from now to November, it won’t have time to comment on cars.

I used to drive mid-engined cars (Fieros and MR2) and even a rear engined car (Corvair). I found that inductive loops work best when you position your engine over them, which means I had to stick my nose WAY out into traffic sometimes.

Meanwhile a Jalopnik HQ, Andy is Cursing Autocorrect.

I’m sorry.  I’ll pour one out for your lost eyeballs.

Simple, count the number of letters on the trunk.

The good news is that they are like new and drive exactly like they did when they left the factory.

My first reaction as well. (I got flamed for it, because people can’t understand the word “seemed” in today’s world and I got tons of e-mails with measurements down to the micron showing it isn’t that big).

I find this is very uncommon today. I worked on a bid package for a company that has the reputation of being extremely demanding. I sent out the RFQ to 30 approved suppliers, 29 of which had we had done work with before. I got 1 bid. From the new company that didn’t know what we were like to work with.

Can prove it. My van needed new coils. A new coil was $150 with the factory label. I could get 6 for $100 and have them put in for $300 and be done with it...

It used to be that self-reporting worked. I worked for a company that literally wrote the book on how to do things. And they did NOT cut corners. But competitors underbid them all the time. Eventually, they had to find ways to save costs. They never cut corners, but the paperwork proving they didn’t started to get…

Something to remember when looking at prices for vehicles being sold in the UK is that the UK has a VAT (Value Added Tax). Typical with a lot of places “across the pond”, the price is included in the advertised price.

Fourth Gear: Faking test data on materials is a major problem and it’s hit about every industry. What ends up happening in many cases is that the buyers are putting their own auditors in house at suppliers, which slows things down and adds cost. However, the idea of trusting a supplier to give you what you asked for…

A lot of attractiveness has a biological basis that’s deeply imbedded in the older part of our brains. A large thing is a cultural thing of being able to provide for a child within that society.

Seriously doubt that. The Chinese population demographics are extremely skewed towards an aging population in about 20 years. If you had said 2044, maybe, but by 2054, the aging population will drop them out of first place economically.

Boeing’s problems all go back to 1997. When they merged with McDonnell-Douglass, MDD managers started making more and more decisions on how to build planes. Managers, engineers, lineworkers, etc. have had 25 years of the quantity is more important than quality management profile going through their organization.
