“You don’t pay extra for your seat belt,” NTSB Chairman Christopher A. Hart said on Monday. “And you shouldn’t have to pay extra for technology that can help prevent a collision altogether.” He called the board’s report released Monday a “wake-up” and urged automakers and NHTSA to work together to speed adoption.

Ramsey’s a goddamn super villain at this point, and it’s the one thing really taking me out of the show. Like all of his complex little plans always go off without a hitch, and it feels like forced writing.

I find myself watching and keeping up with F1 more out of habit than enjoyment. Still some great racing and performances by the drivers and teams, but the FIA just keeps trying to strangle them.

Its all just so stupid. When I was a kid I would tape every F1 race...many of which I still have...plus I would wake up at 6:30 am to watch every race.

I remember driving through Willet’s Point not long after I got here in 1997. Middle of summer—crazy hot day. There were stripped car shells stacked on top of other stripped car shells, the streets ran every way and cables dangled from poles and ran across the street. Everything was painted in vivid colors, and the…

Speak for yourself.

Yes, I know it’s the snarky Jalopnik go-to. (“Just sell a wagon and laugh all the way to the bank.”)

The people want small hybrids, right? Thankfully, it appears that isn’t true.

It’s weird that performance cars are so popular, yet everyone keeps saying the Toyobaru isn’t selling.

For me it was the Acura TL. Went from this pretty great looking car:

You know who should be setting speed limits? The engineers responsible for designing the roads in the first fucking place. Not some politician trying to make things seem good and nice and safe. Trust the people actually involved int he science of making a road safe.

I really hate this concept people have of our bodies being filled with unnamed “toxins” ready to kill us at any moment, and in order to ensure our survival, we have to go out of our way to “flush” them.

What’s amazing is not re-electing Blatter is what could save FIFA. If he’s re-elected I think there’s a pretty good chance FIFA could go by the wayside considering how powerful UEFA is.

Except it’s balanced by the House and the Judiciary and the Executive branch.

We do embargoes for drive events, we do not do embargoes for product info before an auto show.

Did you watch the video?

I thought jalopnik weren’t doing embargoes? Or did someone ask you what car would jalopnik be willing to do an embargo for and... of course, Miata Is Always The Answer.

Things that are better than Taylor Swift:

It’s just gross.

Intentional walks are more strategic because it’s a scenario-based decision, pretty much the point of this entire article. To your point about it slowing the game down, people have proposed that a manager should just have to declare the intention to walk the batter, but then we would miss out on stuff like this:
