There is no limit to the stupidity out there. Jalopnik should just close shop if this is the kind of bull**** they intend to post.

Hmm. He claims it's a 2002, but it has the MKI style headlights. Possible? Or is he a stupid as he seems?

Waste of time and plain stupid. Idiots don't even know what year their car is.

If you have PCCBs then I would guess that you need the iPhone 6 Plus.

Was that a leaky water pump, or just exhaust vapor leaking from a poorly clamped joint?

I am a TREMENDOUS supporter of stupidity and for breaking things for sport, but this was...beyond stupid.

Anyone who has seen a brake rotor glowing bright orange shouldn't be surprised that an aluminum, battery, PCB, and glass sandwich wouldn't work so well as a brake rotor.

Please refer to the first several pages of the "Good week" thread to learn which materials CAN be used for brake pads in a pinch.

Point of order: the one or two phones that vibrated when he hit the power button don't "still work."

I wonder why they didn't do a comparison of iPhones to Android devices to determine which one works best to stop the car. Maybe they'll do a test using metal trash can lids instead of wheels and tires to see if the car handles well....
