1:35 mark, he tries to blow out the flames. Classic.

These aren’t very good views. Found a better one here:
Back in my insurance days we were ordered on occasion to ADR (alternative dispute resolution). Mostly in California. Usually meant mandatory mediation, once in a while mandatory arbitration. Usually ADR was a complete waste of time....especially arbitration. The arbiter would make nonsense decisions without any merit.…
Seems like arbitration clauses are built into every contract these days....and usually it’s binding arbitration, which totally sucks. Steve, I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on whether the consumer can strike out this portion of the contract (say, if I’m buying a car and I cross out that language on the contract).…
Anger = frown + squinted eyes. I see happy face, wrong orientation on the eyes. Don’t get me wrong, love the car.
Angry? Here you go.
Now playing
The Excursion was an oversized, unnecessary monstrosity. The only reason for its existence was to allow Ford to boast about how it was larger than the Suburban. (Some of you may remember the Chevrolet Suburban commercial below from the late 90’s).
Ruined aerodynamics? Check.
What if the cop blinks?
Agreed. Multi-lingual abilities are vastly under-rated in the U.S. Part of the reason for that is that comparatively few people in the US speak more than one language (and frankly, those who do are often not part of the ‘upper’ social status), so those who speak one language often have the opinion that speaking…
You’re correct that there is no official language of the U.S., a fact the vast majority of US citizens don’t know.
My understanding was that they were called suicide knobs because if you got into an accident, you could be impaled by the knob.
This kind of stuff happens all the time on Jalopnik, seems to me. Some time ago there was a story on the ILX vs. Audi (A3?) and I got into it with a guy who was bashing the Audi, because the Audi has optional rear seat side airbags. Nevermind that the ILX doesn’t even offer those as an option. He didn’t know the…
So true. I absolutely hate this design.
I work in a Marketing dept. (I’m a designer and I’m stuck in the wrong dept.) and the words some of the people use are idiotic. “Reco” = Recommendation, ‘cause it’s just sounds soooooo cool to say “Reco”. “Design Sort” = survey question. Did you improve something? Then expect to hear about the “value proposition”. My…
Oh, and it was an Infiniti.
Apparently it was a grandmother and an infant child. Let’s not be quite so rash in our judgment of others.
They did get sued...settled for a few thousand. My parents complained about that, but in hindsight, it's crazy nobody got seriously hurt. That van was a tank, but was bent into all kinds of shapes I'd never seen before. They still loaned out vehicles to way too many people, but I also remember them ademantly…
Yeah, around '90 my parents lent the 'old' family van to my 16-yr old sister. She was driving the thing, full of her friends, back from some cheerleading event. My sister got the bright idea that driving down a 55MPH highway, sticking her head out the window, and purposely swerving, in a body-on-frame van ('77…
