12.29.0850 Vanity Plates That Slipped By The DMVMy friend Dan used to buy me vanity plates for my birthday, ones that would say "Life is Nifty Over Fifty", and shit like that. I was 12 when I got my first one, and amassed a collection of useless vanity plates before I could even drive. I still own the gems, and hope to roll out a new one each month in 2009 in support of his obsession with getting me useless things for my birthday. Jalopnik compiled the greatest vanity plates overlooked by the DMV, and most of them even exceed the rare quality of my geriatric plates. Continue ...

12.24.08Fusion CA-IP500 Swallows…iPodsIf you're in a bind for Christmas gifts this year, and money isn't too tight, I'd recommend getting Fusion's iPod car stereo. This device acts as a CD player, with your iPod going directly inside like a compact disc, keeping it out of sight. This is an extremely novel approach to keep potential burglars away. Now for the fun part: it retails for $349. While it's a great gift (and a smart one), I'd only recommend it to those that listen more on the road than in the house. I would also recommend it to those that forgot a recession is underway! Spend ...

12.10.08The Top 10 Road Rage SongsLiving in New York City, I don't drive anymore--I take the subway. Subway rage is far more pathetic than road rage, since all you can do is stammer and yell when the train door closes right before you get to the platform. Then again, flipping off an elderly woman in a Ford Tempo just because she cut you off isn't very cool. I've done it, and should know. What is cool are songs that inspire you to flip off an old lady, like the following Road Rage songs courtesy of Spike. Road rage is part of human nature. If you spend ...

11.26.08Ten Biggest Automotive Turkeys Of All TimeA turkey is a special kind of car which, though no lemon, is out-of-date the second it rolls off the lot. Like the bird that gives it its name, it is an inferior creature that lacks an appeal to any superior automotive taste, even if enjoyed by the wealthiest consumer. Nevertheless, this is the week we can appreciate turkeys both in bird and car form. Below is our list of the ten greatest automotive turkeys, something to give thanks for — especially if you don't own one. 10. Ferrari 400i The Ferrari 400-series cars are the best example of everything that's wrong ...

11.25.08The Top 7 Vehicular Chick MagnetsGirls will swear up and down that a car has no effect on them whatsoever when it comes to who they're attracted to. Like many of you out there, I can tell you from firsthand experience that this is a line of B.S. Looking to even your odds of landing a fine woman? These rides might just take that passing glance and turn it into a longing stare. 7. Toyota Prius I know, I know. But stay with me here. There's no way to avoid the fact that "green culture," and specifically hybrid cars, are really trendy right now. And the same chicks ...

11.20.08Road Rage 101: How To Piss Off Other DriversPerhaps you’ve only just recently acquired your license to drive, or perhaps you’re a grizzled veteran of the salty tarmac, but either way, you’re interested in perfecting the art of driving as a bloodsport. Believe it or not, angering your fellow motorists to the point of inspiring physical violence isn’t a game of chance, but rather a highly scientific, learned skill. To truly master the art of pissing people off, you need the benefit of years of practice behind the wheel of an extremely obnoxious car (I recommend either a tuned Honda CRX or any type of chromed pickup with a ...

11.13.084 Sex Positions in a Small CarRead on for our illustrated guide to doin' it well in a small car. The first thing to know is that you probably want to begin this venture on an empty stomach, since you'll be be scrunching and bending a lot. It also helps to be fairly flexible and not be wearing more than two layers of clothing. Being that these cars are quite generous with windows, you probably don't want to be just outside the drive-thru at your local veggie burger stand, either. (Unless you want an audience, that is.) If you're game to try something new, here are a four eco-conscious ...
