Who else saw the headline and thought this would be a story about a cop pulling over a 2013 SRT Viper test car that was being irresponsibly hooned on a highway? Perhaps next to a July 4 fireworks stand?

Rainbow car? Gay? Drag racing? Dickinson? The innuendo in this picture is about to reach critical ass. ... ... ... Mass! Dammit.

The [ACCEPT] button doesn't seem to have a real purpose; comments will show up whether you accept them ornot.

I think part of the problem in DC is that you just have people from all over the world who don't know local traffic laws — or, for that matter, aren't even accustomed to driving on the right-hand side of the roadway.

Yes, but only when I go back to #oppositelock and view the whole conversation. If you follow the link from your Inbox, you see only the direct chain of comment-and-replies that led to the comment that you clicked on.

I agree. Teach her how to drive a manual transmission and they've got the makings of a real car show. ^_^

I would just like to take this opportunity to say that your avatar just doesn't look right at all without a star next to it, because before there was clear whitespace between the car and the star, making it that much more obvious. #oppositelock #longlivehashtags

(#7) I once watched a really interesting documentary on traffic infrastructure, in which they showed civil engineers teaming up with people specializing in fluid dynamics. They built a huge model of an interstate highway system, but instead of model cars, they pumped water and plastic BBs through it. Everywhere the…

The police report in the article claims that it was a sedan, but yes, this was my first thought too, and the sedan version would still look like this.

The existence of public transit. Seriously — I've been to cities with excellent public transit, and it's the only way to go. Even when I visit DC from Richmond I stop at the Springfield Metro stop and ride the train in; to hell with trying to drive or park in DC. If there were a system in Richmond to get me to work…

(3rd) So... the Volt isn't already expensive enough? We need a Cadillac version that costs as much as a Panamera? (I hope I'm exaggerating a least a little, right?)

Q: How do you show your redneck patriotism when you drive a Japanese pickup?

You make a good point. In the time and distance it takes to get out of town and onto an empty country road, a kid would have burned through most of his gas money for the week.

I don't think it's a question of government screwing something up as much as it is that vastly fewer people can afford to buy a new cars. I would wager that there were a lot of used-for-used trade-ups even under Cash for Clunkers. Also about 10 years ago was a sort of sweet spot for many manufacturers, where build…

Many of them are having "sex" through iPhones already, so that argument may fall on deaf ears. Or moans.

JALOPNIK CHILE REVIEW OF BMW 1-SERIES

Oh great. Threads aren't anywhere close to chronological. If a story gets more than nine replies, the rest of them will have to fight in the Ghetto of Invisibility for a chance to be part of the Anointed Nine. That's pretty crappy.

OK, so, I've been watching the awful beta period on Gawker, and it looks like Jalopnik was spared that pain this time (unlike "5.0" where we were the tortured lab rats).

The Secret Star Society will be mailing your covert operative star to your PO Box, along with your Jalopnik Gold™ subscription packet. Shh.

It's worse. If you'll notice, once there are more than 9 replies to the original post, there's a little [»] button which invokes a pull-down list of the other replies. They don't get scrolled into the list of nine available replies. You have to remember where you were in the list and keep going through that…
