Honestly, the only Jalop site design thing that’s ever annoyed me was Kinja, on account of how often it just breaks down or goes weird for months at a time.

Of course. Because Mates is one thing, money entirely another, and in the tabloid press, there’s more money to be had in salacious stories of celebrity affairs and behind the scenes chaos, than ditching them because one of the people in them is your mate.

Yes, but none that will satisfy you. End of the day, I was a member of the British press, and heard what we all heard. Take it or leave it, no skin off my nose.

And yeah, TG post clarkson took many iterations to become relevant again - that’s kinda how it works. TG when Clarkson took it over also took many seasons -…

If you want a fun fact - Remember how a while back, Jalop was running a bunch of pieces from the British tabloids, which were sourced from a “BBC insider” who told a bunch of tales of how the Post-clarkson top gear was such a disaster, the production was fraught with problems, the hosts were awful, etc, etc?

Honestly, I’m just sad they don’t make wetbikes anymore, those things were badass. A hybrid jetski/motorbike that rode on hydrofoils instead of the whole hull? Yes please.

Tesla doesn’t spend money on marketing, but that, itself, is marketing, as is its CEO living out his strange public life.

If these end up being popular in Seattle, it’s entirely possible someone will get their small burger loving friends together, and go out to get some Dicks in their eBussy.

Eh, it’s alright, but I still miss TaxTheRich. That dude knew how to send it.

If this happens because you pass Ken Block, half the drivers in the WRC would be upside down.

Similar, but not the same - Roofing torches have a broader nozzle, and give a longer flame. But it’s pretty much identical in concept, just a long pipe with a nozzle on one end and a standard gas fitting on the other.

Well, “Making” - The Boring company “Flamethrower” was also an alibaba special. It was a cheap, generic Airsoft gun housing which can be bought for literally a couple bucks a unit, with a propane roofing torch(which can also be had for pretty cheap from alibaba wholesale) stuffed inside. Even buying the parts…

It’s true, moving forward, they have no other option.

It seems that, true to form, NASCAR has taken a turn to the left.

“No officer, I was just charging my car, I swear!”

I’m still driving a 1990 Nissan Vanette - with the, as you put it, more reasonable nose. Mine is the C20 rather than the C22, but it doesn’t make a huge difference, and hand on heart, not a word of a lie, it’s one of the most fun, enjoyable vehicles I’ve ever driven.

No, not really. He was heavily involved(Even if not alone) in the Research and development process, and nobody could say he didn’t put in more than his fair share of the work. Jobs had a small, abstract hand in the engineering side, but was primarily a businessman and a marketer - Edison, on the other hand, was very…

While that’s true, it does undersell it a little bit - previous light-bulbs before that were a curiosity, a science toy. The longest-lasting bulb at the time was expensive, and only good for a few hours at most, once, and they coated the inside of the bulb in a sooty film that rapidly made them useless even before…

Hm. If it is real, let’s hope Grimes has a better ability to meet deadlines than Elon, or else that baby won’t be born till 2025.

Yeah, fair play. Honestly, I’ve kind of forgotten what goes where - I’ve not watched Roadkill since they went over to Motortrend on Demand, as much as I love the show, I can’t afford another 12-ish bucks a month(6usd, but but local currency is a bit weak at the moment) for another streaming service, that realistically…

Not sure its nessassarily fair including Blasphemi on that list, considering it’s Finnegan’s personal drag car more than a Roadkill car, but you’re still right, a lot of the roadkill vehicles are basically “We took this absolute piece of shit, and threw the cost of a new car’s worth of parts at it.”
