Portrait video was part of the protest.

I'm so sick of Northwest Arkansas and how they're in bed with Big Fiddle. It's like they don't even care that you're not a bluegrass band, they just see a violin and assume you're a threat, even if you're just a 3-year-old Chinese kid. Don't even get me started on East Tennessee and banjos. They shot Steve Martin…

A great deal of the antagonism between the sexes can be put down to gender tribalism. It is the tribe of women against the tribe of men. The trouble though is that men are not nearly as angry etc at women as women are of men. Jezebel and other feminist websites do they're best to stoke up womens' 'natural'…

Too much. I'd never want Jalopnik to leave Gawker. In fact, if it did, I'd probably stay with Gawker.

As a contributor? Chicago Auto Show 2007. Ray posted to the nascent Jalopnik Facebook page that they needed a photographer intern with a DSLR camera. I didn't have a camera, but I told Ray I had a "digital camera." That was a lie. But I borrowed my girlfriend's dinky plastic Kodak pixelbox and showed up to the CAS to…

Amazing write-up! My brother recently was in the market for another oldschool VW or Audi after a drunk slammed into his Rocco'. He put me on the hunt for some "Sean like". He ended up with the car I picked out. A 91 Audi 90 20 valve Quattro. An amazing car for Colorado! Much like your car. He loves it, and when he…

Oh boy...

Not because you're a man you must be a rape-loving, woman-belittling chauvinist. But because many of us have repeatedly been raped, assaulted, harassed, belittled, or abused by varying men of different proximity (friends and strangers) so a healthy fear of men is natural.

Sucks for you I guess. No one deserves attention from the opposite sex, and I'll be damned if I go around grabbing random women hoping I get lucky and find you. Not happening.

This. There are tons of guys who are shy around women out there—many who aren't crazy anti-woman "wizards" or whatever they call themselves. Mr. Thirst and I first met through mutual friends, stayed friends playing WoW and LARPing together, until one night I asked him if he wanted to go on a "date date" rather than…

At some point you have to realize that you cannot control the actions of someone else. Men cannot control whether or not a woman wants to pay attention to them, and neither can women control whether or not a man pays attention to them. All you can control is your own actions.

Some man is hitting on another lady who…

One of the really nice things about getting away from horribly rigid gender roles is that it is no longer solely the male responsibility to initiate all social interaction. If you want that interaction, how about initiating it yourself rather than waiting around for someone else to do it for you. Waiting for someone…

And the harbor.

I'm never going to get this image out of my head.

During basic I had a section commander who was covering the grenade range. He looks and says " if one of you fuckers drops a live grenade in the pit, the instructor will grab you by the vest and toss you out. They will save your life. They will likely die. They are worth more than you are. The Government has spent too…

20Vs had 164 hp. 170 in Europe. Where were you pulling 140 from?

How is it to work on/repair/etc. In my never ending search for a fun hoon-mobile, you've just about sold me on this over the past forever. I guess what I mean is: Is it reliable and/or is it non-expensive to fix when I break something?
