These Cars Have The Dumbest Names - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oftentimes, a car's name is the first impression we get of it. Long before its body takes shape or its specs are released to the public, we learn what an automaker is going to call its latest creation. Like personal first impressions, the names that automakers pick can be very important — and they can really miss the mark in some cases. That idea is what led me to the question I asked you all last week. I wanted to know about the names that missed the mark — the dumbest names ever given to a par
A Helicopter's 'Jesus Nut' Is The Last Thing You Want To Bust During A Flight - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When something breaks on an airplane, its natural aerodynamic properties tend to keep it airborne for at least a little while as the pilots work on a solution. The same thing cannot be said for helicopters, which, by all accounts, are up in the air purely against God's will. When something breaks, you're going down... quickly.

What Car Has The Dumbest Name? - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bentley just pulled the covers off its latest creation, an all-electric SUV that, while looking a bit odd, is still certainly a Bentley. It's a company known for some very good names — Continental GT, Mulsanne, Azure, and Brooklands are all 10 out of 10 bangers. Unfortunately, Bentley decided to go with Torcal for this bad boy. Bentley will tell you that its name was inspired by the El Torcal de Antequera, a wild-looking natural landmark in southern Spain. The thing is, reading it, the name look
