I’ve never seen too much about the race track that was where Hartsfield Jackson International Airport is in Atlanta either. Kind of a cool bit of history.

I would run down to the nearest train tracks and see if I could find a CSX heavy-duty pickup with retractable rails. It might be a longshot, but when the roads are clogged with traffic and looters, that’s the last place I want to be stuck. I could drive on the rail OR along the railbeds on the gravel. Or the roads.

Thanks for introducing the world to DGJ all those years ago, Mike. We’d have been far worse off without him. Read more

You still wouldn't buy it unless it was 5 years old used for $10k.  Read more

Jeez from the way Mercedes seems to pretend the SLK/SLC doesn’t exist I’d be shocked if they made another one at all. Read more

it’s interesting that the Infiniti Q50/Q60 (JDM Skyline) that shares a similar platform has been upgraded from the same engine that powers the 370 (VQ37VHR) to the Vr30DDTT. Read more

That is too kind! I will miss you guys tremendously.  Read more

So many people make this website what it is every day for its readers, and most people never see their bylines on the site. Kavi’s one of those people. It can’t be overstated just how much Kavi’s done for Jalopnik and its readers. Any contentious story, any big investigation, anytime we had a question about who or Read more

no, it stays at all 9's forever. You have to get it to all 9's and then go to 1 mile on the trip odometer to indicate a million.  Read more

Driving a car from showroom new to 1 million miles in a (relatively) short period of time is a feat of driving. That’s a person who did an amazing, physical, challenge. All they had to do was maintain the car according to spec (starting with a perfect example, mind you), and just, drive a lot. Read more

Quite the deep dive! Where are you sourcing the part drawings?
Unfortunately, I think the real hurdle to overcome is not mechanical or electrical, as you conclude.  It is financial.  Not only from a production standpoint, but from a certification standpoint.  Certifying a car for FMVSS, EPA, and NHTSA compliance Read more

Internal combustion is going to go away. We should enjoy the hell out of manual transmissions while they’re still around. Read more

I see bmw is still using the exact same setup for shift linkages they have been using for years.  That linkage is identical to the one in the e39 M5 I changed.  Also very similar to an e36.  The dual bushings on the upper rod connecting to the transmission was an improvement.  Read more

Ok so I thought the brake article you did in the past was horse crap (what does a gt350 and some hybrid Audi or something have in common) and I told you that (why I have been unfollowed by jalopnik) Read more

You’d also have to acquire the center console from a European 4 cylinder Z4. The layout is completely different since the iDrive controller and buttons have to be moved to make room for the shifter.  Read more

Cool! Now tell me how to convert my f31 328d wagon to a manual and I’ll love you forever! Read more
