Used to do Jalopnik Detroit when that was a thing. Now just kinda here and there.

Being born and raised in Detroit, I can honestly say I love this. That stick it to them attitude a lot of people have, we don't take crap from anyone. It's a attitude that "We like are way better, so we are going to do it are way". Read more

Dunno if this is the time or place, but here's some Packard porn. I see so many Mazdas, Volvos, Crown Vics and the like on Jalopnik and it's always nice to see a reference to a bygone age.

When Miley was here filming LOL, a few people I know were working as grips on the set. One of her tour guides while she was here was a scratch DJ with a library of Detroit hip hop vinyl that goes back to the early eighties, and more knowledge of Detroit hip hop and rave culture than anyone I know.

Here's my theory, one I've stated a few times. Read more

My wife's uncle had a V8 (270k miles) and her Grandfather had the straight 6 (370k and counting). I had an 01 with the 4.7L and loved it. Read more

Rolled it onto the driver's side in the New Mexico high desert in a snow storm one year. It popped the tire beads and scratched the side a bit, but once I had it upright and the tires re-inflated,

Given the fact that all American BMW owners would not care if they used slave labor or burned gays at the stake, what's the beef here? They're driving machines, not cars, for fuck's sake! Read more

I don't know what it is, but those first gen GC and the video of it driving through the glass is pure America. Read more

"The early '90s were strange times..."
For fashion, haircuts, and much much more. Thankfully the GC crashed through all that to lead us from greed-is-good to my so-called lifestyle. To Costco, and beyond! Read more

Now that's going viral, 90's style. Read more
