Staff Writer at Jalopnik. 2017 Fiesta ST. Wishes NASCAR was more like Daytona USA.

And I am going on 2 years waiting for the replacement part for my 2011 fusion.  Read more

Why is it that Fiat, a company that probably makes no money in the US, can bring low-volume cars to the US but Honda can’t bring the E. Or BMW the 3-series wagon. Both of which would outsell the 500e. Read more

Cross shop this with the Chevy Bolt or Kia Nero Ev and it will not be competitive with that battery and DC fast charge rate. It’s a city car that could sort of road trip in a pinch and the Bolt or Nero or a used whatever EV (leaf maybe) will be cheaper and better value. Read more

I’m pretty sure this is a car that will be met with a solid dose of skepticism, but as someone who has been driving one of these for almost a year now as a daily: It’s a brilliant little car. It looks gorgeous (subjective, I know), it’s reasonably quick off the line, it rides really well, the interior is well put Read more

Bring Ora Funky Cat instead.  Read more

Without Checo, last seasons WDC could have wound up being a different story. Max had a choice to solidify a relationship with his teammate based on appreciation and mutual respect that literally would have costed him nothing in terms of his season. Instead, he chose to poison the well. The SEB/WEB debacle ended Read more

There are two things that frighten me even more than stagnation: monetization and always-online requirements. Read more

Racing games were born from the era of hot rod culture, when it was common for a worker to have a garage, disposable income, fewer emissions regulations, and free time on the weekends. As regulations have become stricter and housing more expensive we’re seeing hot rodding start to fade out, and with it goes the Read more

I’m bummed that PC 2 was delisted from Steam as well - I uninstalled it temporarily to save some space and now it’s gone... it had a usable VR mode that was fun too. Read more

Sadly the reason for this is likely more to do with accountants at EA crunching the numbers and finding that Project Cars simply doesn’t have the fanbase needed to milk the franchise with microtransactions like Need for Speed does.

They’ve taken away our ability to race like we want in single player. PP scores are good for gatekeeping multiplayer events to ensure an even playing field, but if I want to brute force my Miata to 700 HP and run laps around the AI drivers, I should be able to do so. Single player race campaigns hopped onto the PP Read more

I’d like to see all these guys get put into need for speed. There hasn’t been a good/memorable one in probably 20 years and revival of the series is desperately needed. Read more

Better yet, when you apply or renew your passport, get the book and the card. I carry the card all the time and leave my book at home. I only use the book for international travel Read more

I have a NY-issued “enhanced driver license.” According to the NY DMV, it is federal Real ID compliant and can be used for air travel. However, it does NOT have to the star icon. Read more

Spend a day at the DMV, and possibly two if you screw it up... Read more

The R8, R10, R15, R18... I’ve loved them all. I felt gut punched when Audi withdrew from PLM in favor over the WEC races and doubly so when they left WEC all together. Read more
