Don't Use Stolen Parts To Build A Frankenstein Car - Jalopnik While the vehicle appeared to be a top-of-the-line 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, the VIN stamped on the frame belonged to a 2015 Jeep Cherokee Overland.

It’s cool to build one car out of several others. Just don’t steal the parts to do it.

He won’t listen, but that’s not the point. It’ll also embarrass him.

Why Racing Games Are Lying Cheaters And How They Do It - Jalopnik There's a lot of anecdotal evidence that racing games cheat their human players, but is there any proof?

My mom always said, “The computer cheats!” when she lost. It turns out she was right.

Thieves Steal Corvettes From Bowling Green Factory, Again - Jalopnik This time, the thieves made off with two examples of the 1,064-horsepower ZR1.

It’s all just a little bit of history repeating.

This Electric Pit Bike Can Allow Anyone To Do A Wheelie - Jalopnik It promises to make even the world's worst wheelie popper look like an expert by lifting that front wheel with just a press of a button.

I gotta get me one of these. Because I’m bad at wheelies! #motosky

Failed Towing Attempt Causes Unoccupied Car To Crash Into Restaurant Twice - Jalopnik It takes a lot of skill, or lack thereof, to crash a car you're not even driving.

It takes a lot of skill, or lack thereof, to crash a car you're not even driving. The video is definitely worth watching, if nothing else than for the appropriate soundtrack.

"Hi, Justin, The average price for used cars climbed faster than new car prices last month, rivaling pandemic-era highs, as inventory limitations and tariffs push costs higher. We want to hear from you: How do you think this will affect buyer and seller behavior?" With a "Share your thoughts" button

No, LinkedIn, I'm not going to write for you or promote your articles for free.

EPA Says We Don't Really Need 'Low DEF' Limp Mode In Trucks After All - Jalopnik EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin also strongly urges manufacturers to update older trucks to eliminate this nagware.

From the "Toxic gas is good for you" files, the EPA demands that truck manufacturers break its own laws.

Snack On Crunchyroll Anime On Your Next Delta Flight - Jalopnik Delta will soon bring anime to the skies, courtesy of Crunchyroll.

I first heard of Crunchyroll line 5 years ago, before they got big. I never imagined this.

Ram's Bucking Hemi Mechanical Bull Ride Stolen From Roadkill Nights Event [Update: Ram CEO 'This Is Bull****'] - Jalopnik Something not so silly has befallen the Bucking Hemi: some bastard stole it. No, this isn't a PR stunt.

Not my story. Just spreading the word. Because, as Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis says, and I quote, "This is bullshit."

AI Compares Car Dimensions, Can't Even Do Basic Math - Jalopnik The 232.6-inch Raptor is shorter than the 221.9-inch Expedition Max. This must be some strange use of the word "shorter" that I wasn't previously aware of.

According to Google AI Overview, 232.6 is less than 221.9, and 225 is more than 240. We can't even trust clankers to do basic math, which is why computers were invented in the first place.

An ICE recrruitment poster encouraging father/son enlistment done in a very classic "propaganda" poster style showing 2 men, one young, one mature, with the shape of the USA behind the men, filled with the US flag. The caption says, "No Age Cap Join ICE Now!"

A Nazi Germany propaganda poster depicting two men: One young, one mature. The caption translated says, "From Hitler Youth to Officer of the Army- The Way!"

Same difference.

Seems I'm not the only one who's worried.

Prelude to martial law? 😬

Please Don't Blow Up Your Boss's Car If You Get Fired - Jalopnik A Pennsylvania man has been arrested on suspicion of blowing up his former boss's car in front of his house.

We've probably all thought of ways to get back at a boss, particularly if we've been fired. But it's best to not follow through on such thoughts.

This Espresso Machine Made From A BMW Engine Saves A Ride To The Coffee Shop - Jalopnik BMW Motorrad and ECM have teamed up to bring us the Big Coffee Boxer, named for BMW's famous boxer motorcycle engines.

The only problem with this is it gives you a reason to have premium espresso at home instead of riding your motorcycle to the coffee shop. #motosky

Me and my motorcycle standing next to a sign for the town of Boston, Arkansas.

I made it to Boston. There’s a lot less traffic than the Boston I remember.

This Brown Manual 1985 Toyota Tercel 4WD Wagon Is A 778,621-Mile Canadian Survivor - Jalopnik Purchased in 1990 for $2,500 Canadian loonies, it now has more than 778,621 miles on it, and counting.

I had two examples of its competitor, the Honda Civic wagon. As great as those cars were, the Tercel had it beat in the slippery stuff. Only the non-diesel engine stops it from being a Jalopnik unicorn.

Facelifted Jeep Grand Wagoneer Teased With Illuminated Face And Range-Extender Hybrid Powertrain - Jalopnik Jeep has already confirmed that the Wagoneer will get the Ramcharger's range-extender setup that pairs a V6 engine with a big battery and two electric motors.

I’m glad Jeep finally admits and embraces that the Grand Wagoneer is a Jeep, not some spin-off luxury brand. If Chevy, GMC, Ford, and Ram can have top-of-the-line luxury, so can Jeep.

I completely agree. Kicking them out for being trans is mean. Taking away their retirement benefits after they were forced out is just cruel. Which is probably the point.

BMX Rider Kriss Kyle Jumped Over A Moving Formula 1 Car Driving Towards Him - Jalopnik After accomplishing bicycle stunts on a moving train, Red Bull has moved to a slightly faster obstacle: a Formula 1 car.

Despite all the practice, he literally chickened out on his first attempt at the real thing. And I don’t blame him a bit!

Motorcyclist's Recording Of Her First Crash Highlights The Importance Of Wearing The Right Gear - Jalopnik They say there are two types of motorcyclists: those who have crashed and those who haven't yet. YouTuber Doodle on a Motorcycle joined the former group.

Motorcycle riding gear is good. It protects you from the slide, but it doesn't always protect you from the impact of being slammed down into the pavement. The swelling and bruising can mess you up, too. #motosky #atgatt

California Is Giving Incentives For Apartments To Install EV Chargers - Jalopnik Up to $8,500 is available to building owners for every Level 2 charger they install, and up to $2,000 for Level 1 chargers.

Renters can’t charge at home, and who can afford to buy a house these days? Bridging that gap lets renters enjoy one of the biggest advantages an EV offers: starting your day with a full “tank.”

These Absolute Legends Are Driving A 1936 Bugatti Across The Country To Pebble Beach - Jalopnik "These are machines to be driven," Burkhard told 12 News. "You don't hang them on the wall, they're rolling sculptures."

This is one Pebble Beach entry I’ll be watching closely.

I didn't see your original comment, so naturally it didn't happen. 🙂

Impressed, but not surprised. The guy designed exotics like the BMW M1 and DeLorean DMC-12, but he also designed basic cars like the Fiat Panda and the original VW Golf. He cares about the average driver, with renewed emphasis on our safety, just as much as drawing a beautiful supercar.

'Safety Today Is A Luxury,' Giorgetto Giugiaro Says After His Crash - Jalopnik Anyone who's survived a major crash may have a new perspective on life, and Giugiaro is no exception.

"A new car, with its safety features, offers seven times more chances of surviving an accident than one from fifteen years ago. I'm one of those times."

I'm impressed that while appreciating his own good fortune, he's aware of and concerned about people driving older cars who would not be so lucky.

Delaying Over-The-Air Updates Could Risk Warranty Coverage - Jalopnik GM also says that "if an Over-the-Air software update causes damage to the vehicle, that damage will be covered for the applicable warranty coverage period."

I typically wait to install updates to see if they break things instead of fixing them. (What can I say? I worked in IT.) But putting off OTA updates in your car for too long could jeopardize your warranty coverage.
