Not sure if it came across clearly enough in my earlier comment, but I’m referring to the shape of the apostrophe. Instead of an opening or closing curl (‘) (’), Kinja turns it into a straightened version (1') whenever there’s a number involved. Read more

Kinja also likes to assume that any apostrophe placed after a number must be referring to a measurement in feet. Just look at what it did to Kristen’s F-150 example: Read more

My ’84 Delta 88 was a Brougham. It didn’t even come with a passenger side mirror. Read more

Those fatalities represent only a small slice of the true extent of the problem. Imagine all the injuries and property damage being left out of these figures... Read more

Of all the mechanical systems that keep a driver in control of their car, steering has got to be the most important, and the most terrifying to lose. Honestly, I’d rather experience brake failure or unintended acceleration than not be able to aim a vehicle where I need it to go. Read more

OMG she’s RIDING THE LIGHTNING

All of my 10mms are accounted for... but I am currently missing my 3/8" drive 19mm. And I just know that if I buy a replacement, the old one is suddenly going to appear and I’m just not keen on having to store spare tools. It’s a good thing 3/4" is almost exactly the same size! Read more

Sleeping was really interesting, as SwankyBox had to find areas of the game that were quiet, where he could lay down in real life and get some sleep.

While many people were not enthused that an electric crossover had any attachment to the Mustang name at all, the Mach 1 name seemed to be too much. Read more

Patrick, thank you for the time that you’ve spent here. The attitudes you hold towards cars, brands, and many other things have been such a perfect fit for Jalopnik, and any automotive site would no doubt be glad to have you on their team. Read more

LOL, I guess that was kind of an extreme example. You’re probably more likely to encounter “$25” ($2500) ads than “$25” ($25000) ones. Either way, it’s getting a flag from me. I don’t need that crap spamming up my search results. Read more

Oh boy, the neighborhood mice are gonna LOVE this, almost as much as they love chewing on soy-based wiring harness insulation. Read more

As long as I can still flag ads for bullshit like keyword spam, “$25” cars that hide their actual asking price “$25000” in the description, and other blatant lies. Read more

TCCoA has long stood as the place to be for information on servicing and upgrading 4R70W transmissions, including info on the ever-popular J-mod, a DIY valve body upgrade developed by a Ford engineer. I no longer own a Thunderbird, but the info still applies to many vehicles, including SN95 Mustangs, and every once in… Read more

Reminds me of the torque converters (power converters?) seen on Jakku in TFA:

We’re giving away a Game Of Thrones: The Complete Collection box set (retail value: $250) to one lucky winner who emails us at avcontests@theonion.com with the subject line “And now my watch begins” and their full U.S. mailing address (sorry, no P.O. boxes) Read more

Neutral: Phone-detection cameras could potentially nab a driver for hitting one lousy speed-dial button while the resulting call goes through on their handsfree device. That’s not irresponsible use, and drivers shouldn’t be punished for it. Read more

Why does this all sound so familiar? Read more

Do you want ants? Because killing anteaters is how you get ants. Read more
