Goddam that’s my next weekend toy.  Someday.

Classy move.

Did they seriously disable/wipe all comments there this morning? Now they have random freelancers trying to fill the void? Might as well shut the site down.

That’s my hope.  Because that means the next Z may stay RWD with an ICE.

What does this car do particularly well/different at its price point? It’s not the fastest, it’s not the prettiest, it’s not he coolest, it’s not the most storied. It’s just sort of there. A milquetoast, badge-engineered coupe.

I would hope they are safe. I just got concerned when Shane made strong statements like “G/O is killing Jalopnik”, “this is dreadful to watch”, and “it’s likely Jalopnik is next.”

Barry got fired from Deadspin within the last hour. Are there casualties at Jalopnik yet? What is going on? Where will I follow David Tracy’s rusty adventures?Why am I feeling like I’ll suddenly be more productive at work?

INQUIRING MINDS NEED TO KNOW.

I honestly hope they all quit and leave Jimbo twisting in the wind.

Agreed, not in a million years would I have thought that any sort of planning or forethought was put into any of these screenshots.

The couple of other real-world photos in the article are pretty neat, though.

Glad your daughter is ok, I had a similar experience at 18.

But to clarify, ALL drivers need safety features. Someone running a red can happen to even the most experienced and skilled drivers.

This is the correct take.  RA was what got me into the genre before I fell in love with Total Annihilation.  It was great fun playing over dialup with neighbors across the street.

Interesting, I’ve never heard or been taught this.  So there was actually a time when possessive nouns did NOT require apostrophes?  When was this switch made and why? 

That may be it - I noticed the kerning was off there as well.

“Americas exotic car”?

Consider if you were a middle manager and had interaction with customers (be it internal or external). If customers made a stink once about something I doubt you could be bothered to report it up, and if you did those you reported it to would probably shrug it off. But if your customers complained constantly, I’m…
