One of our dashing readers emailed us just now with a question I’m not really sure I’m seeking an answer to: “Want to know just how truly disgusting people are?” our reader asks, rhetorically, because he damn well knows the answer. He suggests that those who want to know the answer to that question simply seek out…
Being a writer in this glorious modern age is fascinating. On one hand, it means every little mistake you make is immediately found and people all over the world get to call you a moron in real time. On the other, it means that your readers can get directly involved, which I love. That’s why today’s Meh Car comes from…
Anthony Levandowski, the controversial former Google engineer at the center of the major lawsuit between Uber and Waymo over trade secrets last year, is the subject of a new extensive, scathing, head-spinning story featured in this month’s New Yorker. One of the many incredible details is an alleged crash where…
Thanks to the ever-growing cosplay subculture, costumes aren’t just an October affair for some stores. All year-round, you can find everything from cheap, knock-off versions of your favorite characters, to expensive, highly detailed costumes that look like they stepped straight off a movie set. We’ve rounded up stores…
It’s always a good day when Porsche decides to GTS-ify one of its models. Today, Porsche has announced that the Panamera is next on the list with the introduction of the Porsche Panamera GTS and GTS Sport Turbo.
You ever have those friends that you just kind of tolerate? Like, they were cool once and now you can’t tell a story without them trying to one-up you, so talking to them makes it the equivalent of conversing with your own television? Well, if you were CEO of Ford and your ‘friend’ was an employee, I guess you could…
We see a lot of deals around the web over on Kinja Deals, but these were our ten favorites today.
The Mercedes-Benz AMG performance division said two years ago that it would make a $3 million Formula One car for the road, built with the engine used in a series often called the pinnacle of motorsport. But it’s not so easy to tone down an F1 engine to the point that it can share stop lights with the Ford Fusions of…
Air-cooled Porsche 911s: I’m so over them. Sure, they look nice and sound even nicer, but their revoltingly high resale prices and ensuing hoard of bothersome purist fanboys have all but soured the cars for me. At least this one guy found a use for his air-cooled 911 that didn’t involve driving it and then talking…
Hi, I’m Ishaan Jhaveri. I’m a data journalist who works with Gizmodo Media Group’s Special Projects Desk. I worked with Ryan Felton on the latest story about subprime lender Credit Acceptance, and the effect its collections cases have had on the people of Detroit.

A corner worker died in a crash at the recently renamed WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca during a track day over the weekend, the track confirmed to Jalopnik on Monday. A track spokesperson gave no other information on the worker or on what happened in the incident.
The history of smartphone improvement has largely relied on companies cramming faster or more powerful components into the now ubiquitous glass slabs we carry around. But the Pixel 3 is something else. Instead of focusing on things like a brighter screen, tons of RAM, or multiple rear cameras, almost all of the Pixel…
This $15 portable Thermacell mosquito repeller might allow you enjoy the outdoors again.
I have a bone to pick with the Lotus Elise. Despite not having been sold in the United States for years now, and despite not having changed much since going on sale in the early 2000s, they have held their value here pretty consistently for the past few years. This is bullshit. Bring on the cheap used Elises, already.
The National Transportation Safety Board released its final report on that near-miss at San Francisco International Airport in July of last year, where a plane had to abort a landing after nearly colliding with four other loaded planes on the taxiway and nearly took out “over 1,000 people.”
It’s flu season, and everyone who is able should get a flu shot.
We’re well into the new era of electric cars. Hot on the heels of Tesla, nearly every major automaker has implemented or will implement an electrified vehicle of their own. And Porsche’s offering, the upcoming Taycan, will be the one to beat.
This Sunday at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, Radwood once again proved that it’s grown beyond just a dope car show for fans of teal and splash graphics. It’s now a movement, a true staple in car culture. And you made it happen.
You’ve heard of Automatic’s smart driving assistant, but if $130 is too rich for your blood, this OBD2 dongle costs over 90% less (with code P6QZFB2Z), connects to any iPhone or Android device over Wi-Fi, and can fulfill many of the same functions using various third party apps.
This will come as a welcome surprise to that one weird guy in your town with a yard full of transaxles, but a Porsche 968 won a racing event. It won this year.
