My valet slid down the fire pole to my solitude/Onanism pit all flustered and panicked and gibbering like a fool. A few well-timed slaps with one of the dampened Pontiac floormats I line the pit with brought him back to coherency, and he was able to spit out some gum, a tooth and the important news that some people…
Motorsport Games — a relatively young publisher of racing games that holds the NASCAR Heat franchise — announced late last week it had acquired Studio 397, the developer of rFactor 2. Motorsport Games, it should be said, is a subsidiary of Motorsport Network, which operates Motorsport.com, Motor1 and Autosport, among…
The Superstar Racing Experience is coming this summer as a sprint race short-track series for retired racers founded by Ray Evernham and Tony Stewart. Much like the rest of the series—from the tv package on CBS Sports, and lineup of rinky-dink race tracks, to the driver lineup that peaks with recently retired rolling…
Some of us have had that one car that just slipped by us. Something we had been either longing for or searching for, only to have it taken from us when we were ready to buy. For me it was a 2017 Miata Grand Touring. It sold just a couple of hours before I was supposed to go in and buy it, and I’ve lived with the…
The United States Postal Service revealed last month that it had chosen Oshkosh Defense to make the next USPS mail truck, which meant that Workhorse, another bidder for the contract, lost. And with that loss came a steep drop in Workhorse’s stock price. Now one investor has sued.
Ford must be very concerned with the reception of the new Mach-E making its slow rollout to customers this year, because it has just recalled all of 75 cars for loose bolts.
A couple of weeks ago the new Janus Halcyon 450 was leaked to a mixed response from riders. Now we know a bit more about Janus Motorcycles’ largest bike yet, and honestly I’m pretty excited.
This past week, Elon Musk tweeted an announcement that the demand for Tesla’s new Full Self-Driving Beta software — a Level 2 semi-autonomous driver assist system that is not fully self-driving at all — was so high that Telsa would be making it available to any Tesla owner. In case you were wondering about the new,…
Ford could begin production in North America of a new Transit Connect as soon as 2023, according to Automotive News. The Blue Oval has begun requesting parts quotes for a van codenamed V758, which may be built “alongside an upcoming compact pickup and the Bronco Sport crossover in Hermosillo, Mexico,” AN reports. The…
I live in New York City but for a variety of reasons, in December I moved to Los Angeles for two and a half months. The drive there and back in my 2008 Honda Fit was all basically fine, except for what I will probably later call a mental breakdown in Nebraska.
Back in January, I said F1 TV was unreasonably lacking in features for a streaming service dedicated to the highest level of global motorsport. My opinion was predominantly based on the fact F1 TV didn’t support casting across non-Apple hardware and didn’t have native apps for any streaming platform outside of Roku’s.…
As Jalopnik’s resident car-buying expert and a professional car shopper, I get emails. Lots of emails. I’ve picked a few of your questions and will try to help out. This week we are discussing why a dealer would like about not having a car they actually had, and if Mazda dealers are “forced” to sell cars for MSRP.
Cars may be appliances of transportation for many, but for others, cars hold a place in our hearts. Sometimes you find “the one” and for whatever reason that car slips away. What is the car that got away for you?
I’m not sure there’s anything that needs Silicon Valley disruption less than utilities, so it’s no surprise that a Tesla subsidiary is reportedly moving on in. All that and more in The Morning Shift for March 8, 2021.
There’s never been a better time to get out and go camping somewhere than right now. It’s a chance to be socially distant somewhere that isn’t your house. For some, camping means buying a trailer, motorhome or a whole school bus. What if you could slide a camper into the back of your family sedan? That’s exactly what…
One thing I’ve always liked about old Opels are their use of quad round taillights, with the inner ones being concentric circles divided between taillight/reflector and reverse lamps, and the outer ones bisected, sharing turn/brake light duties. Visually, they always reminded me of the hilariously-named Harvey Balls…
