I bought into the Jalopnik propaganda back in the heady days of 2014, and brought the better half on board. Ours was one of the first Renegades that a major dealer in the western ‘burbs of Philly sold. My wife and I test drove it on Italian gasoline while peeling the finest Melfi-an shipping plastic off various…
Chris's driveway looks like a World War II Loser's reunion.

True, I had forgotten Nintendo finally pivoted on video streaming services. That makes it more logical, thanks, as I thought they were still following the “game machine” only policy. X2 or Xavier would almost assuredly fit the bill without a significant change in architecture.
I think David actually touched upon that while discussing the first-gen Liberty and it’s comparatively “feminine” features compared to the XJ. Conversely, the Renegade is cute, yes, but it’s bulldog puppy cute: smushed-in-face, wide and eager-eyed. Outside of whiskey, wood-working and books about war, nothing’s more…
It’s been tried, and I have one. The 1.4T 4x4 Renegade with a stick. It literally has the 500 Abarth engine with an extra gear. It’s gloriously brick-like. The roof panels come off. Bigfoot is chillin’ on the rear glass and there’s a spider saying “Caio baby!” in the fuel fill area, just because. Apparently three of…
I’d love to see a modest upgrade of the Switch but if they’re chasing 4K graphics (barring a trick upscaler or some thunderbolt/GPU-dock) I’m a little afraid of them screwing the pooch. Namely, here’s another not-Switch, now just in the other direction: traditional console.
I’ve kinda laid out what they should do…
For free and bundled in the OS installation, when their competitor in that space was actually selling their browser. Apples and oranges.
Ah, Tasty Kakes, forever buy one, get one at the ACME. They made a dark chocolate peanut butter Kandy Kake, not on the website which greatly concerns me. Either way, throw those bad boys (or the Coconut!) in the freezer. Good times.
Scrapple was one of those things I didn’t get into until I was older. Taylor Pork…
As I’ve said to my boss, who’s originally from Texas and moved here to the Commonwealth: you know you’ve gone native when you start eating scrapple. That said, its reputation is far more fearsome than its reality.
Rocky Mountain oysters are probably up there. The whole mid-west fried brain thing. Hakarl. My god, hakarl.
It’s easy, almost self-breeding, content and bumps their vidjayos up in the algorithms’ rankings. I’ll never watch any of the actual crap but I find it fascinating. I’m waiting for the reaction to the apology to the reaction to the original apology video because these kids go turtles all the way down. . .
It’s pretty. Too bad it’s not real. I mean seriously, how hard/expensive is it to wrap some (carbon)fiber(glass) around a salvaged LSA mated to a pumpjet? I mean, I get the super-yacht render-only wank fests but you could build this in a shed.
Anyway. . . been a hot minute since I’ve been on a waverunner of any form…
Oh neat! Carbon fiber “torque stars” for your Beemer.
I had an ‘04 GTO. First gear in that flavor of T56 was lower than the F-Body’s to compensate for the extra beef of actual structure and a real interior. You’d absolutely slam the car forward an inch and stall if you just let out the clutch without using the loud pedal, or this case goofed and left it in gear when you…
Except there is no such thing as a homogeneous “US market.” The population of the county of PA I live (Chester, 525,00 souls in 760 sq miles) in is within spitting distance of the population of the whole of Wyoming (with 580,000 people spread over 97,900 sq miles). I don’t know how one would get around out there…
Uhh. . . . You missed a spot.
You’re moving to California to re-invent yourself. You’re apparently also a city-dweller. The correct-est answer is a body-on-frame 4x4 SUV and a motorcycle.

Which is why that rear suspension design was pretty much abandoned across the industry by the 1970s, and the Corvair was well ahead of the curve by dumping the swing-axles for a fully-independent rear suspension with the second-gen car in 1965. Which means GM was already engineering it out by what, at least ‘63? Not…
Oddly, I even used that exact wording. . .
All contemporary rear-engined cars, and more than a few rear-wheel-drive European cars in general, shared the admittedly terrible swing-axle suspension design, complete with wildly dissimilar front/rear tire pressure. We can also roll just about every 60's Beetle into the scrapyard right next to them. Every Porsche…
Counterpoint: They can be a nest of vipers in a treasure chest full of snake poop with a lonely doubloon at the bottom. (I understand that this was the goal set in Facebook’s search design criteria.) For example, God help you if you ask any engine performance questions about a non-turbo engine in an E90 group. And…
