One question remains about the new Jeep Recon – is it duckworthy?

You could get these with a 5-speed manual. The 80s & 90s were great.

Too early to be thinking about Christmas really but I like the baubles in Lakeside.

There's at least one government agency left we can trust.
There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Savage takedown of "Sapiens."
Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

Probably the best financial decision he ever made, Steve Jobs bought Pixar for $10 million in 1986 and sold it to Disney 20 years later for $7.4 billion. Not a bad return on investment.

Kei of the Day is err... a Daihatsu Move? All I know is that the BBS wheels are a great choice (basically identical to the ones on my old Eunos Roadster).

My final story for @jalopnik.bsky.social. I enjoyed writing this one. #weirdcarbs
The Ford 300 inline-6, AMC straight-6, Buick 3.8-liter V6, Rolls-Royce-Bentley L-series, and VW flat-4 lasted decades with few major changes.

some safari conversions look entirely silly, and some look like they should have been available in a showroom and this is in the latter group for me

Look, I'm going to make Weird Car Bluesky a thing if it kills me and takes all y'all's with it.

Anyway, here's not just a Subaru Vivio, but the retro-themed Bistro version. I suspect this is the same person who also owns a Vivio T-top in my neighborhood.

"The disbelief and amusement from security researchers highlights a challenge. Car companies want to offer the conveniences of consumer electronics, but these hackers say their security approach remains in the realm of the amateur."

Lots of tough work ahead for automotive tech.

What a difference a decade makes. Ten years ago, the Focus RS was launched here in the US, and along with the Fiesta ST and Focus ST, hot hatches appeared to be having a resurgence. At the same time, we had diesel Chevy Cruze hatchbacks, and a full line of new VW Golfs. How quickly that unraveled.
Ford’s final Focus rolls off the line in quiet farewell
Ford has ended production of the Focus at its factory in Saarlouis, Germany, amid the automaker's restructuring of its European business.
