It's because if you mix-up the anagram, then it's LBGT, and the GT stands for "Grand touring." Or maybe GLBT. ... or GBLT. Yeah, that's it. This is really a food blog for BLT sandwiches with Goat cheese....

Because it's click attracting material and it's just too hard to actually write stuff about cars.

I live in the North. I hear it all the time, especially between persons of colour.

That's exactly the point. Name 10 current TV shows that are set in a city other than NYC or LA. It's difficult. The media focuses on events that happen in NYC and LA. It's been that way for years. It's not as if the same sorts of scandals and crimes don't happen in say, Cleveland. But if an event doesn't occur in NYC…

1. It's an issue because Jalopnik is based in NYC 2. (sarcasm) Everyone knows that the only important places to live in the U.S. are NYC & LA. Everyone else? That's flyover country!

It seems a little early to comment, right, since nobody knows the details except the executives. Now the HR folks have to do their work of sharing the information with the affected employees. Factor in that Jalopnik offices are in New York, three hours ahead of California.

My condolences.

These are amazing stories that were almost taken for granted for many years. To think, our Army Air Corps and US Navy used to train guys, and some gals too, when they were barely old enough to vote, to fly these things. Now, most parents I know won't even let their kids out of the house without tagging the kids' smart…

Just buy a Camry, break off the plastic that offends you, and mail it back to Toyota. That'll show 'em!

The center console appears to provide a veritable arsenal of devices for removing facial hair. Norelco Santa will be sad.

To you it's a valve and cam lobe. To me, it's a cellphone tower out on the New Jersey Parkway.

Yes. Pronounced like "excess" county...the place where they pave 1.6 miles of road for $30 million.

Don't waste your time. See Cleatus. Rhymes with "meatus."

I know where Paramus is, and I stay away. But I'm in Exxes County, which is sort of like Paramus's colon.

You are correct, sir. If the New Yorker wants to dabble in lunacy and franchise laws, then they should explore the varieities of laws that states enact regarding sales of beer, wine and spirits. But that would require them to assume that people want to leave the Fantasy Island known as Manhattan.

Yes. So does Home Depot.

Signore Tamburini's death has many of us observing an International Time of Mourning. May he rest in peace.

You're right, not owing a car is cheaper, assuming you live in a place where you don't need to own a car. That would be in the heart of a big city. So the money you'll save by not owning a car will be spent on higher rent for equivalent space, mass transit, and cabs.

Tennessee wasn't on the list to begin with, and you can rest assured the negotiations began a long time ago. VW's situation has little to do with it, but that doesn't mean the VW and BMW don't share suppliers that are located just one or two links away on the old integrated supply chain.

Did Team Tesla put "anti-tamper tape," whatever that is, on the switch after replacing the switch? That's a question that the press release doesn't answer.
