Wow. Rollcage didn't deform at all. Score another point for featherweight track rides.
So by the text of the story the head should actually read: "This Chinese train is faster than a Canadian puddlejumper."
Just saw a bit on Fox News about Ford Mustang aftermarket bodies making it possible to build a complete 64.5 Mustang 'vert.
I don't know how unique that is. But that gets you a brand new body built to new standards. Bolt in an Ecoboosted drivetrain for big twist and pinky-out sipping and you've got the best of many many worlds: power when you want it, economy when you don't, and good looks all the time. #tips

Okay, I chuckled.
It still looks like a fcked-over Sentra, though.

Well, I said I was gone and I mostly meant it. But I'll pipe up for this.
A new El Camino? Yes, the world needs it. Step up, Chevy, or else it'll wind up called the Caballero.

What's not to love about the Lancer? Stealthy looks, heart-stopping turbo lag. Thrills and chills, what more could you want.
That's it. I quit. At least on Wednesday I could still contribute to the NPOCP poll; now that's gone and so am I.
Well, it's looking like I'm about done with Jalopnik. A brief tease followed by a nearly-as-brief article. A clunky, uninviting new format. Slower performance overall.
I'll check back to see if this wins COTD. I'm not certain if I'll ever look again.

Not wild about Chevy but the first-gen 'Vette, pre-Sting Ray cues, was damned handsome.
I have to agree with Wheatie. This new format is less user friendly. It loads slower - my hardware isn't top-end, but I know how slow it was before, and now it's worse. It doesn't navigate well, and being able to see all the stories, rather than one big splashy one and then little blurbs for the rest in the sidebar just isn't as much fun.
My frustration factor is reaching an upper bound.

Much, much more desireable than the Johnny-come-lately Envoy with its me-too roof.
Crack Pipe.
Original Avantis are worth a pretty penny in good condition, a nice Avanti II with more modern equipment would be a fun ride. This thing, however, is just a weird body on the Shamu Taxi chassis. Pass.
I'd rather have the Caprice with the full-boat Impala package.

Bolt in the moxie!
This is what I love in Jeeps, the basic grunt and go-get-'em-ness, and none of the coddling that modern buyers demand.
If I wanted coddling, I sure as hell wouldn't look for an offroadable Jeep.

Even Sagan would weep at the collapse of the Cosmos.
Oh Jalopnik, you're so pneumatic.

If you lick him, does he decompose into 11 tons of GHB?
