June 21, 2016, marked my first day at Jalopnik. March 31, 2020, will be my last. It was an incredibly hard decision, but I'm very excited to say I'm off to join Business Insider next month as a senior reporter (still) covering cars and writing reviews.

As my wise mother once said, "Ain't nothing 'super' about a supercar until you can take it to Costco." (She didn't actually say that.) (But the McLaren GT was a great Costo car.)
i was in singapore earlier this month and saw one of the cooler things i've seen so far: hyundai's new manufacturing plant that uses A TON of robots to build cars, including those boston dynamics robot terror dogs

Hello! Please join me on this fun journey of all the wonderful little noises in the Porsche Macan GTS. When everything inevitably moves to a touchscreen interface, this is what I'll miss.
Was thinking about this today: A year ago, I was the only woman driving a KTM X-Bow Comp R at Sonoma. Dude immediately comes up: “You know this only comes in a manual, right?”
“Yes.” (There’s a DSG, but I did not want to engage.)
“Do you know how to drive a manual?”
“Yes.”
"I don't know which is hotter, you or the car!"
"Your daddy must be rich!"
"This your boyfriend's?"
Like bitch, please! I can't have my own fucking shit? (No, this isn't my shit BUT STILL. It's the goddamn PRINCIPLE.)
I'm so happy to be at a place like
@thedrive

for a tour of a $65 million Bel Air mansion, where I famously went up to the bar and asked for "a drink that tastes like it's from Chuck E. Cheese"
I love that TVRs are just Vipers built worse by people with less expertise and I love that the English and only the English think they are a wildly important part of automotive history
"I'm not Toto Wolff's therapist, but if I was, I think I'd be discussing nightmares where ... a Silver Arrow Formula 1 car gets passed on a straightaway by a machine that says 'McDonald's' on the side."

Friends! HELP A GIRL OUT: Noticed a lot of EV charging stations are located in dark parking lots, which made me feel pretty unsafe/vulnerable, esp if I was alone at night. Have you had an experience like this? Email me (klee

I rewatched all the Fast & Furious movies ahead of this week's F9 release to try and figure out where it was I stopped hating and started loving this series. Sharing them with my wife for the first time made this revisiting extra fun. via
@Roadshow
and tbh don't get me started on the way that some journalists still talk and write about Korean and especially Chinese cars. It's so often so gross and thinly veiled racism and legitimately just STUPID and bad writing.
Gotta love car guys that say girls are only into cars so they can shag all the blokes. Because yes, I am only in this so I can bang some dutty, greasy haired, vape smoking knob who’s been wearing the same oily hoodie and joggers for two weeks. I’d rather shit in my hands and clap
