Photo: Jalopnik/Bradley Brownell Well, it’s the end of December, which means another year has passed without anyone forcing the Jalopnik staff to get real jobs. For that, we are eternally grateful. Allegedly, there are other jobs you can work that don’t require you to put pants on, but most of those don’t come with access … Read more
Chevrolet finally revealed the production version of the C8 Corvette ZR1 over the summer, promising us 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque from its twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. That’s some serious power, and it gets even scarier when you remember the Corvette ZR1 is rear-wheel drive. That means the engine sends more than 500 hp … Read more
Photo: Facebook Marketplace Someday, I swear, I will learn how to tell the difference between an Evo VIII and an Evo IX without just looking at the grille.

His teal 1979 International Harvester Scout II has sort of become an icon of the Harris-Walz campaign, and it reinforces his whole “small-town Midwest dad” vibe. As it turns out, that old truck, what it represents and Walz’s DIY attitude are paying … Read more
When Audi finally killed off the R8, we lost something more than the company’s highest-performing car — we lost its prettiest design. Since then, we’ve only had the E-Tron GT as the Pretty Audi, but even that lost its luster with the most recent redesign. Now, though, there’s finally a truly good-looking car back in … Read more
General Motors revealed its most powerful Corvette ever — with a top speed of some 215 mph and an eye-watering price tag to match. The 2025 Corvette ZR1 will feature a twin-turbocharged, 5.5-liter, V8 engine capable of a whopping 1,064 horsepower — exceeding the 755 horsepower of the current model, the Detroit company said Thursday. … Read more
Image: Bring A Trailer Lincoln doesn’t make sedans anymore, instead following parent Ford’s lead and going all-in on luxury SUVs and crossovers. The brand’s last crack at a sedan was the tenth-generation Continental that debuted for the 2017 model year.

A woman in Knoxville, Tennessee had to turn to a local news station’s “Help Me” consumer affairs guy after a used car dealership sold her Ford Taurus out from under her after she brought it in for repairs.
