Skip the takeout, that’s just one more chance of spread...pack a lunch. Read more

What? Socially isolating means going somewhere on a whim, to eat lunch and get gas? Exposing all kinds of unsuspecting people to your viruses and germs? Take a seat, sir. You’re dizzy, and obviously should be chained to your sofa. Read more

Just here to post my Suzuki GS that I picked up for $1,400 last year. Reliable, super easy to work on, and lots of parts available if you’re into such things. (headlight brackets have been flipped since this was taken)

Hey. How old was your Dad when he got his motorcycle endorsement? Does he still ride, and how does he feel about it? I got my license at 39 and felt like I left it a little late. I am still riding 11 years later, and really love it, but I wonder how other older people feel about riding. Read more

No, Trump bloviates, grandstands, and personally attacks people who call him on his bullshit, and the gets criticized for bloviating, grandstanding, and personally attacking people who disagree with him. The trash comes from his supporters and hanger-ons who would be mental if any one else did the exact same thing.  Read more

years ago, my friends dad set out to rebuild the engine of his families oldsmobile. he had never done this before. Read more

watch a buncha videos on youtube before you do it. I drive Volvos, i did my first one in under 2 hours. I think i spent more time studying it, than actually doing it, but it helped my confidence, and i got it right the first time. Read more

There are a multitude of YouTubers offering videos on how to do almost everything with cars. Consequently, our cars are looking really sharp after I followed these to detail them. I’ve seen videos on replacing the batteries in a Toyota Prius, head gaskets, exhaust systems, etc. Read more

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.

Andrew, can you answer a question I had? In the scene where everyone was running down the dune, why are so many people dressed in the exact same outfit? Was there a uniform or something or do automotive journalists all subscribe to similar styles (Jalopnik is so special, I’d expect you to not adhere)?? Read more

DAMD’s been doing this for a long, long time, offering styling changes to tiny Japanese vehicles. VW Type 2 kits for Subaru Sambars, Dodge A100 kits for Honda Actys, Renault 4 kits for Suzuki Lapins, etc. Read more

I don’t see those as angry eyes. I see them as the face of a petulant thirteen year old about ready to cry because they didn’t get what they wanted. Or your average Wrangler owner who secretly wanted a Defender. Read more

I’ll take one like this, please:

That video makes me want to go back! Well played, Abu Dhabi tourism board, well played. Read more

Well since the camel trophy isn’t allowed anymore, because cigarettes, Land Rover came up with their own version: the G4 Challenge

The combination of rocks, heavy surf, and dense fog make it very easy to run aground there. The constant currents make it difficult to launch from unless you have powerful engines. It’s littered with the bones of whales and seals, and shipwrecks.

I noticed some toilet paper in one of those photos, do you still have it, and can you spare some of it? Read more
