Jalopnik Staffer from 2013 to 2020, now Editor-In-Chief at Car Bibles

I was about to sell my 300ZX, then it needed to be repaired, then I put off repairing because of my laziness... now it looks like I have a lot more time for repairs. Maybe I could even teach myself how to do that timing belt! Sigh. Read more

It’s a Beechcraft 1900 indeed. We rode up in one that was pretty spartan, and back down to Opuwo in one that was pretty nice. Not sure what else I can tell you!

Ha! That’s a funny comment. The Land Rover staff all had light grey shirts, and the two test pilots you see running down the hill with them in that shot (Henry and, I think, Matt Prior) just happened to be wearing similarly colored shirts that day. The guy in the dark blue is Charlie Mayhew from Tusk.

Haha it’s fine you qualified it with “quick and dirty.” And yours had limb risers! Read more

The new Defender is good! It’s just not an old Defender. The shit we wheeled through in Namibia, man, as legit as off-roading gets outside of racing. Unibody and independent suspension have their benefits! Read more

I think that will change, sometimes a car company will only offer high-spec cars initially and I think you’ll be able to get a four-cylinder two-door eventually. Read more

Thanks for the added detail! (Unfortunately this post was already getting too long and we had to trim it down.) Read more

Huh, I must have accidentally deleted it before posting. But yes. That is a critical piece of information. Re-added! Read more

Damn, that’s great. Why didn’t I think to look up the part number? Oh yeah, because our commenters are amazing and helpful! Thanks! Read more

Now playing

A few folks have mentioned that the C7 had the same trick, and indeed, you can find a few videos of that too:

The more I think about the poor photo quality, the more I buy into the “leaked on purpose” idea. Seems like you’d have to go out of your way to make a picture this low-rez in 2020. But then again. Maybe a GameBoy camera is the only thing you can sneak into a design studio 😂 Read more

As of 12:40 pst it looks like they’re focusing on moto medals but I’d have to imagine the camera will cut to limited cars shortly... Read more

It’s been brought to my attention, per Davey Johnson may he rest in peace, BMW cars are “Bimmers” while BMW bikes are “Beemers.” I have to admit I... I had never heard that. Hat tip Christian! Read more

Yeah but, like, it’d be his company Wayne Enterprises or w/e buying them... in fact they probably already had a motorpool of Triton-powered delivery trucks. Then you could have an awesome plot twist where some of the company warehouse mechanics are in on Batman’s secret and maintain the car! Also, it’s Roy and Darrel! Read more
