“The next time you’re on a flight, you can rest assured that a tire company HAS YOU RUNNING ON CHEAPER RETREADS AND doesn’t want to eat the cost of a potential tire blowout REGULARLY SUPPLYING NEW TIRES!!!”

About 20 years ago, I was on an early morning flight on a small CRJ regional jet from Lexington, KY to Chicago. We taxied out to the runway and then began to take off. As we were accelerating down the runway, just as the nose started to lift, we heard this BANG followed by some shuddering, and then we were up in the…

Three cheers for police body cams, journalists, and the Freedom Of Information Act.

This dyno measures emotion.

I think that should be an option, but you should be able to change that radio out. We had DIN. It was great. Radio broke? Want a simpler one? Want one that’s fuck-off complicated? Great! Change it out!

Small point of pedantry; Campagnolo doesn’t make bikes. They make bike parts. Ridiculously over-engineered, phenomenally expensive bike parts. I once had a Campagnolo groupset on a road bike in the early ‘90s. Nothing I have used since has been as smooth or as lovely to shift.

Dont sit there filling out your logbook with mileage and how much gas while sitting at the pump and then calculate something, oh and don’t you dare get on your phone. 

yeah that seems like a pretty worthless “rule”.

Is the windshield fluid really a thing? I’m sure it’s pretty gross, but I’m not drinking the stuff. It can’t be much worse than all the junk coming out of nearby exhausts in traffic that layers the entire roadway.

No, it helps Jalopnik drive more clicks. Post that guys face / name, have your article pop up on a news aggregator site, and you’ll get a few curious people out of the >200M followers who click thru to Jalopnik and see some ads!

Swell. He’s still creating content for one of the worst human beings currently alive and getting richer in the process, so he can honestly eat shit and die for all I care. 

“Social Media Influencer” is absolutely a viable career for GenZ.

I really fucking hate that guy

So this article is basically just helping him drive more clicks, right?
