There hasn’t been a splashdown of an American crewed space capsule since the Apollo capsule from the Apollo-Soyuz joint U.S.-Soviet Union space mission in 1975, at least not until yesterday, when astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley returned to Earth from the International Space Station in orbit, splashing down just…

Lordstown Motors, the electric vehicle startup I’m not even sure has a functioning pickup yet, has been valued at $1.6 billion, Ferrari growth takes a hit, and more in The Morning Shift for Monday, August 3, 2020.

Moss sells. If there was one adage from the 1970s that still makes sense today, it’s that. You want to get people interested in something, anything? Surround it with as much damp moss as you possibly can. That’s why Datsun sold so many of these Cherrys back in the ‘70s—because they knew to moss the shit out of them.

Ferraris are some of the most finicky of cars to maintain. Toyotas, on the other hand, are among the least. Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe MR2-based F355 may be the best of both those worlds. That is if you’re not faked out by the price.

New Hampshire’s motto is ‘Live Free or Die.’ Needless to say, the Granite state is often confused with Jalopnik due to the similarity of our mottos, the legislature, at least, does seem to believe in driving free as well as living free. Maybe just in the case of driving cars that do not yet exist? On Wednesday, they…

You know what I like to do when things start to feel a bit gray and dreary? I like to take myself on a little journey. A journey to a place I know will always make the world seem brighter and more optimistic. A strange, magical place I like to call “Daihatsu Japan’s Website.” And this trip brought me knowledge of…

The Ram 2500 represents the end of an era in which farmers, construction workers, and even suburbanites could shift their own gears in a brand-new full-size pickup. That’s right, the Cummins diesel-powered heavy-duty Ram was the U.S.’s final full-size truck with a manual transmission, and after having driven it, I can…

The most adorable little convertible and I were born in the same year, we’re both incredible, but only one of us came with zebra-print seats.

It’s easy to forget that tires are important shock absorbers that work alongside the rest of the suspension system to smooth your ride since you never get to watch some of the work they do. Until you put a camera in one.

Summer was just barely kicking off. My boyfriend was skating ahead of me on his longboard as I trudged behind—slowly—on my bicycle up a hill. No matter how hard I tried, I could not keep up. I was covered in sweat, annoyed, and over our goddamn excursion to the nearby park. Look, I love bikes, but I fucking hate hills…

Seven people, including an Alaska state House of Representatives member, were killed Friday morning after two small planes collided near the city of Soldotna on Alaska’s southern coast.

TikTok is a “social media” service that I have been vaguely aware of for some time now, though because life is short and I am busy I do not know much about it. I have since been forced into TikTok by #grasscar.

For months, years even, I’ve spotted this little brown Volkswagen out of the corner of my eye as I turn onto a main thoroughfare, or going the opposite way on a city street, or it buzzes by while I’m stuck in traffic. It’s been doing very slow laps on the Ehra Lessien in my brain ever since. This lovely little…

The electric powertrain nerds at EV West are doing everything they can to propel Southern California hot rod culture into the future. Electric drivetrain swaps in old cars are their bread and butter, but in the process they’ve realized just how fast these things can be. With a custom tube-chassis, a slippery…

I have my issues with the McLaren P1's design. Alright, I have one issue: there is a FAKE WINDOW on a top-tier hypercar. Regardless! The car’s designer Frank Stephenson explained how he penned the thing, and gave a good tip on how to make a car look good in the process.
