Here's Why James Garner Wouldn't Use '79 Firebirds On 'The Rockford Files' - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Plenty of TV shows and movies have featured cars in central roles, some great and some terrible. But even in the most egregiously corny examples, it's still fun to watch a car morph into a full-blown character of its own. Perhaps one of the best examples of this happening comes from a show called "The Rockford Files." Jalopnik readers who love watching TV shows for the cars may well remember this '70s classic starring the inimitable James Garner. The show ran from 1974 to 1980, and one of the re
According To Leaked Pitch, Flock Cameras Were Once Nearly Put In Ubers And Lyfts - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
No matter how you cut it, Flock cameras are a nightmare. Law enforcement officers have routinely abused these Fourth Amendment-violating, privately owned spy cameras to, among other things, successfully stalk a woman after she changed her identity to escape her abusive cop ex-boyfriend. That's not an isolated incident, either: 17 Georgia cops have been arrested and fired for using Flock cameras to illegally stalk people, and a USA Today report that instigated further arrests identified 240 Flock
How Chasing Average MPG Improvements Brought More Tech To Cars (For Better Or Worse) - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you took the average passenger vehicle from 50 years ago and compared it to the average passenger vehicle in 2026, you'd doubtless see a host of differences. The first thing you might notice is that the average car of the past looks a lot different, both stylistically and functionally. The boxy, angular body design of the past has largely disappeared. Similarly, sedans and wagons — which represented over 75% of all vehicles in production — make up only a sad, sad 25% of the cars in production
The Consequences Of Low Engine Oil From Mild To Severe - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I was a teenager just on the cusp of learning to drive, one of the first lessons my parents gave me was on how to pop the hood and check the oil. We located the dipstick, pulled it out, checked the oil level, and identified what it would look like for the oil to be problematically low. The exact path of the conversation escapes me today, but I imagine it went something like, "if the engine oil level gets too low, the car will break, and it'll be really bad," which is accurate but doesn't re
Why A Florida Police Department Set Up Decoy Flock Cameras - Jalopnik (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Depending on whom you ask, there are between about 400,000 and 1,000,000 words in the English language, yet there are not enough words out there to adequately explain how fiercely people of all demographics seem to hate Flock cameras. Not cops, though. Dozens of police officers have faced charges for illegally using Flock cameras to stalk their ex-girlfriends, wives, and other civilians. In Georgia alone, at least 17 cops have been arrested for Flock-related stalking charges, and the USA Today f
