As an old-ass mough-fough, I grew up in the era just prior to when parents actually started to really care if their kids lived or died. It was a different time! No one wore seat belts or helmets, and if you were stuck in a car seat, it was to keep you contained and out of the way instead of actually safe. It sounds…

That’s right, friends, I realize it’s summer, but it’s time again for us to enroll in Taillight University, because taillight appreciation and knowledge doesn’t take vacations. Today I want to address the strange but recurring fetish in Taillghtdom for the White or Clear Taillight, and to specifically focus on the…

As Jalopnik’s resident car buying expert and professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve decided to pick a few questions and try to help out. This week we are discussing a new dad wanting to buy a vintage car as a daily driver, and making sense of all the 911 variants.

Like almost any automotive publication, we use the term “horsepower” all the time. It’s one of those words that seems so straightforward. What is horsepower? Why, it’s the power of a horse! What does that mean? Physical power? Political? Sexual? What horse? How is it measured? Let’s find out, with pictures! Actually,…

Plug-and-play LED replacements for halogen headlight bulbs are a popular car mod. LEDs often look brighter than incandescent lights, but “looks brighter” and “illuminates better” are not the same thing. I got a stern talking-to from an actual lighting expert about LED retrofits, and science says: Putting LEDs where…

Jeep posted this slightly blurry teaser of what appears to be a Hemi-packed Wrangler or Gladiator on its Twitter feed this morning as an opening salvo against its new rival, the long anticipated, highly leaked Ford Bronco just hours after the Bronco once again showed its face before its planned massive multimedia…

The 2021 Subaru Crosstrek is finally getting some more power in one trim, after years of complaints about the car being underpowered. A whole 30 horsepower more will come in the Sport trim, though you’re gonna have to pay for it.

Oh yes, the 333 SP was a masterpiece of motorsport engineering in its day, and continues to inspire two and a half decades after its introduction. This car marked a return to top flight sports car racing for the Scuderia in over two decades, and hot damn was it successful. From 1994 to 2003 the 27 triple three chassis …

This world would be a better place if there were just a little more honestly in it, which is why I’m such a big fan of Jalopnik reader Mark Tucker’s 1989 Forest Service Chevy K1500 Cheyenne. It is exactly what it looks like: A no-bullshit green, mean (actually, kind), hauling machine. Let’s all pay our respects to…

Renault’s revolutionary new battery-electric D Z.E. freight truck has been in construction since March of this year, but was delayed several months thanks to the global coronavirus lockdown. Despite each truck only taking 50 hours of assembly work from start to finish, this one has been on the production line for…

Last week, Afshin Behnia, the founder of the car culture website Petrolicious, apparently posted and then deleted bad and racist posts on Facebook. Today, he said was stepping down and letting new ownership step in.

After waiting what feels like years to see the final iteration of the production Bronco, it has been leaked just days before Ford’s official launch of the off-roader. On Friday afternoon this photograph of the Bronco, which appears to be official Ford marketing collateral, was posted to the Bronco6G forum by…

For the past few decades, it seems like every government’s agency to any social problem has been “what if we just paid cops to handle it?” with disastrous results. Now, Berkeley, California may take one responsibility away from police: traffic stops.

The 2021 Ford Bronco is dropping next week with a ridiculously robust media blitz you will have a hard time ignoring. Here’s a rundown of how and when to see the 4x4’s final form first, because you’ve got options!

The UK has big plans for electric vehicles. It aims to phase out of sales of all fossil fuel-run cars by 2035 in an effort to lower carbon pollution. But there’s another source of emissions that could wipe out most of the gains: new roads.

I realize that “run over your nightmares” may seem overwrought, but I have an excuse: I didn’t write it. Those were the words my nine-year old kid Otto, when he clambered up into this brute and I stomped the throttle. “This car can run over your nightmares!” he yelled, and, really, he nailed it. That’s the whole,…

Those of us old enough to remember the dot-com bubble in the late ‘90s will recognize a familiar feeling with what’s happening with Tesla, a feeling that maybe all of this really could change the world. Or maybe it will come crashing down. Or maybe, more accurately, these are just the growing pains of a new beginning.
