Elizabeth, I promise I will order this for dinner this week if you return me from the grays!

Hi there, after fifteen years of commenting in the open here at Jalopnik with thousands of exchanges, I seem to be in the grays for no reason.  Can you please bring me out of the grays?   Much appreciated.

I think it’s because I complain about every slideshow thread. They don’t seem to want readers reminding the powers that be that no one on the internet since 1999 wants to see slideshows.

Yeah, this won’t lead to other unwanted things, I’m sure.

Rod from Steering Mechanism was my favorite bassist growing up.

I don’t know about the most underrated cars.

I wrote, “a small truck with an extended cab.”

The #1 car of 10 that ends up in the unwanted- and unasked-for GMG slideshow.

I’m an old Millennial, the first generation that has no real memories of the Cold War, and, as such, I’ve only read about it. It seems more ridiculous with each passing year. For several decades two countries played a game of chicken with the highest stakes possible because they were mad about capitalism and…

All I want in life is someone else to once again put out a small truck with an extended cab. I don’t need four seats, I need two seats and a dry place for groceries. I *do* need a full size bed for dirtbikes and actual work stuff, but I don’t need a full size pickup.

“In the future, everyone will be Milkshake Duck for 15 minutes.”

Evil had to exist for a hero to rise.

The best Porsche to buy is a CPO or used Porsche.  Let someone else take the depreciation, you’ll just be on the hook for the (mother-of-god-expensive) maintenance. 

The ten cars that end up in the unwanted-and-unasked for GMG slideshow.

Unwanted slideshows will continue until morale improves.

My 2002 Mazda Protege ES manual. God, I loved tossing that car around like nobody’s business.

I regretfully missed how all the longer plagues of the past went unrecorded while I inexplicably read about them.

I am the same way, and one would figure that as manuals become more of a sop to driving enthusiasts, they ought to be a HIGH end, rather than a LOW end, option.

This car was a total POS when new, it’s a total POS now. Its sole purpose in life today ought to be a place for crack orgies ala “The Other Guys,” but the simple fact is, if you absolutely need a car instead of the bus, this is the car that’s worth $2,000. It’s literally disposable, you just have to amortize what…
