Andrew writes good reviews; Jalopnik should have just had him do it (not sure if COVID limitations was the cause of this approach)

It’s terrible. It’s hard to read and feels phony. And lazy.

I appreciate that you guys are trying new things with this review format, but this was extremely difficult to read vs. a normal review without adding anything of substance. If I want a review to be a conversation between people, I’ll watch a video.

Hey Justin. I didn’t want to say “you’re poor, so deal with it”. I’m also not rich. I just would much rather see an article with some good jokes, some new actually interesting info, and some less complaining. The complaining part seems to be present in a metric shit ton of your articles, and despite some of your…

Current Hertz employee here. Contrary to popular belief these are probably the best taken care of used rentals you can buy. Unless something went really wrong at some point, these aren’t getting into the hands of the weekend traveler who reserved a Yaris, they’re being rented by people who actually are willing to fork…

“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…

If any employees from FedEx or USPS decide to reach out to tell me about conditions there, we’ll report on them. This isn’t a hit piece; I have no beef with UPS, but when multiple workers are reaching out to talk about these conditions, it deserves to be reported. No one is trying to stir up paranoia, just expose…

You realize the stay at home pushers still expect you to get the virus right. Flatten the curve just means extend it out so fewer people are sick at one time.  They still plan for everyone to get sick.  May as well work while you can to save for when you cant.

Oh, we’ll get there eventually. Too bad Intermountain’s been extended by five years every 5 years for the last 30. The City of LA “ordered” LADWP years ago to “divest” Navajo Coal plant years ago, too, so LADWP played a 10 year “shell game” of transferring the Navajo plant into a shell company and continuing to buy…

Prius is about 150 grams per mile, according to both EPA and EU data, in operation. “Upstreams”, according to Argonne National Labs, on a completely all-in basis, for US refineries, is pretty much exactly 2000 grams per gallon drilled and refined— or in a 55 MPG Prius less than 40 grams per mile, since you amortize…

The problem so-called city-EVs is that people who live in the city often live in apartment buildings and for that reason have difficulties charging at home, thus rendering the car pointless

This seems like a good place to tease the fact that I’m on the verge of making the most foolish minivan purchase you can possibly imagine. (More later, but just prepare yourselves). 

Jason, you’re logged in under Andrew’s account, just FYI

Here’s the seller’s problem:

Really?

Let me save everyone some time. Conclusions - traction control on: Audi slightly better. Traction control off: Audi more sloppy than the others. Trade-offs abound, and no real standout winner.

You’re welcome.

The US is situated about 7500 miles from Iran. Iran has never directly attacked the US. The Shah was not a US “ally”, he was put in place by CIA facilitated coup that overthrew the elected government. He was a murderous ruler who tracked and killed people around the world as well as in his country. He was put in…

I mean yeah, the math almost checks out in one of the worstest of worst cases (the author said 25 cents projected as the peak, which would mean closer to $5 than $10). But for Average Joe with a 13 gallon tank and if prices only go up say 15-20 cents, that’s like $2-3 a fill up.  I honestly don’t think most people…

They meant $9 total, not per gallon.
