During the Jalopnik karting night last weekend, in which you were faster than the writers, Jason Torchinsky asked some trivia questions. One of those questions was “Name a vehicle with two rear window wipers.” He received the more Jalop answer, which is of course the XV10 Toyota Camry Wagon. But I wanted to use this…
Audi officials Richard Bauder, Axel Eisner, Stefan Knirsch, and Carsten Nagel have been indicted and charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and violation of the Clean Air Act. The indictments by grand jury in Detroit, related to the quartet’s alleged role in Audi AG’s…
Somebody needs to have a calm yet firm sit-down discussion with Nissan. Putting tracks on existing cars doesn’t make them inherently exciting or new or different. Nissan has been doing this for years, and it’s become boring and formulaic. Anyway, here’s an Altima with tracks on all four corners and all-wheel drive.…
The 2019 Dakar Rally is over with Toyota beating Red Bull (finally), the big Russian trucks beating everybody (as usual), Toby Price doing Australia proud and some surprises from the small contingent of Americans in the race.
When we first bought our house, my wife insisted on a security system to warn us of any intruders. In an uncharacteristic move, I did no research and just shelled out for an ADT subscription. Two years and hundreds of dollars later, I realized my mistake: there are some much more affordable, equally effective options…
We’ve seen our fair share of really sketchy tow truck situations here at Jalopnik, but it’s not everyday that folks get so frustrated with being towed that they just drive off into the sunset like they’re Superman levels of invincible. And I guess that’s especially true for one particular Russian fella driving someone…
Sometimes the best questions to ask are the most obvious ones. When Chris Harris asked why the new Porsche 911's door handles needed to be so complicated, he was asking what we were all thinking. What we’ve been thinking for decades.
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
There I was, roaring down the streets in a 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye and all 797 of its horsepower, when the song changed. I turned it up, the subwoofer thundering behind me although the audio inside of the car wasn’t too loud. I was that person. I liked it. Then, the questions started.
The one downside of owning a lot of cool electronics is that you are forced to stare at a bunch of decidedly uncool wires all the time. Put those things away for good with this CordMate II Kit, now on sale for just $14 on Amazon. The kit includes 12 pieces: 4 CordMate II cord channels, 3 couplings, 2 flat elbows, 1…
From our own Aaron Brown, who has a daily Craigslist search alert set up for “Cheap M3s under $4,000,” comes the most brilliantly brazen for-sale ad I think I’ve ever seen. Forget the clever essay-length backstory and insane hyperbole. This is how you sell a car.
As I write this, we’re now in the fourth week of a federal government shutdown that appears to have no end in sight. President Donald Trump is losing it. The Democrats are (surprisingly) holding their ground over their refusal to provide nearly $6 billion in funding for a wall on the southern border. And as a result…
A Russian YouTube host and auto mechanic named Vlad replaced his Lada’s lead-acid car battery with a box filled with over 750 AA alkaline batteries just like what you might find in your T.V. remote. Here’s what happened when he tried starting the engine.
Even though this year’s Detroit Auto Show was a little bit thin, there were still plenty of interesting cars around: the new Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, the new Supra that we never talk about, and I suppose even the new Ford Explorer. But when it comes to the most technically interesting car at the show, none of these…
Nike Dri-FIT tees are the chameleons of the workout gear ecosystem, equally at home in the weight room, on a run, or in a pickup sports league. If you ever exercise, you literally can’t have enough of these things. So go ahead and sprint over to Amazon to grab as many as you can for $15 before the prices go back to…
Miata, Miata, Miata. It feels like that’s all anyone ever talks about, because it can be hard not to. But there are other small, fun roadsters on the market, like the 2018 Fiat 124 Spider Abarth. So what if it’s based on the Miata? I have one this week. What do you want to know about it?
Look, I’m not trying to be a jackass here or anything, and I fully realize that I’m just some drooling simpleton that writes about indicator lamps and Tetsuya Tada is an incredibly smart and skilled Chief Engineer for one of the largest carmakers in the world. But I can’t change what I saw. So when our good pals at…
The company that brought you the electric Ranger is back at it again. At a private investors event, Ford announced its intention to make an all-electric Ford F-150, as both Car and Driver and the Detroit News report.
If you’re ever planning to leave your home this winter, L.L.Bean is what you want to be wearing when you do it. The outdoorsy brand is taking 25% off your order with promo code WINTER in an effort to keep you cozy, when you should be feeling just plain cold. This deal will last until January 13, and seems to apply to…
Hyundai and Kia both recently issued big, and somewhat complicated, voluntary recalls in the U.S. for millions of 2011 to 2018 car models, which have been the subject of hundreds of reports about engine bay fires. Most of the recall, though, is just a software update to alert drivers that their engine might fail.
