I am a huge Volvo fan, and would love a v70R in my driveway, but this is CP (even though its a really nice, clean, low mile CP). First generation v70R has not reached classic status yet. I could see a second gen v70r with same miles and condition going for $15k, but not first gen.

I know he said he wants a manual but I think a new Tesla Model S may be a good choice for him. He lives in LA, so I know it wont be unique, but his other options of a C8 and mustangs don’t exactly stand out either. Its $72K new (with warranty), is safe, is as fast as hellcat (to 60) and will cost less to operate than…

Sol, since the camry always is ont he list of most stolen cars, would someone who steals this one be called a TRD burglar?

In the middle east they should be called unmanned aerial entities, UAE’s. That should ad to the confusion

Unions need to start over. The old model does not work, it creates way too much room for corruption at the top and protects bad workers that bring down the reputation of good workers. I used to be all for unions, they helped create a 5 day, 40 hour workweek, got countless workplace safety changes implemented, but…

I don’t care how luxurious it is. Nothing is more luxurious that closing the bathroom door and shitting while scrolling through jalopnik on my phone. My house does that admirably in multiple locations. My car does not, and neither does this poor teutonic excuse for luxury.

Massachusetts (Boston) commuting infrastructure is a giant steaming pile of excrement.

CP, you can get a much newer M3, or even a 2 year old mercedes C300, which will feel much nicer, have more HP and a warranty. The only people who should be interested Alpina fans. Non car people will not be impressed by a 20 year old car, even car people will ask why the Alpina over a newer M3. 

I think there is a market for transmission and engine shaped battery packs and motors. In the future, I think electric motor swaps will be more common and the current solutions are weak. Why not create a a solution that fits into an existing void in the car. The engine and transmission mounts are already there and…

Camry, it’s the most grounded to the ground.

I’ve been thinking the opposite. I wish all cars came with an ignition tied to the users phone. So the car wont start unless the phone is in a specific port, that way we can avoid all these jackasses who drive around with their noses buried in their phones, because your IG likes are more important that a persons life. 

The current GOP ideology is “not what the previous administration did/said”. They just need to find a scientific justification for that to rollback the regulations. Still, CEO’s of US car manufacturers (in fact every car manufacturer except for Tesla) probably remember the 80's very well and how more efficient…

The whole video could be condensed into one rally style delivery:

I’m going to rent the hell out of that in Spain in a few years. 

He’s going to quit a premier racing league and join formula E, first as a brand ambassador then a driver in the series. He’ll say something like

Responses for both headlines:

Why dont they just include garish yellow splitter protectors? Seems cheaper and people will leave them on.

I voted CP, but mostly because I can already get a hell of a car for $70k, especially if Im willing to buy used. my choices if I had $70k to spend on a used supercar out of warranty?

They better make enough of these that dealers aren’t charging six figure prices anyways. Chevy dealers are some of the worst places I have ever been (#firstworldproblems)

What happened to Jalopnik? None of these are wagons.
