I sorta feel like this is the laziest article I have ever seen written for Jalopnik. There has to be SOME reason you are bringing this up that you didnt mention...

“and tossed the driver out of the SUV and onto the roadway.”

Huh. These look like a bunch of dumb fun, but since I’m an owner/operator of a healthy, full-size adult male penis, I’ll never be able to drive one of these Compensators comfortably.

“benchpress 350 pounds and eat sharp rusty nails for breakfast”

I’ll take an AEV Prospector XL any day over one of these.

It’s overkill on a grotesque compensatory scale yet I want it...

Unfortunately, immediately after the video cuts off, he was killed by the Mustang.

“No recent retirement announcement has stung racing fans quite as much as Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s did today.”

It’s been crazy to get old along right alongside all these athletes. Brett Favre, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, Dale Jr...way to make me feel old and unaccomplished, guys! I really like the way Dale built his own reputation and started stepping out from under the typical “corporate” line to show his own personality.…

Junior gets lifetime membership on my “I want to buy this man a beer” list.

I have really been impressed with him off the track over the last few years. He has come out of his shell and seems to be more comfortable with himself. I hope he gets out and does some things that are fun for him. Maybe he can do some racing (Le Mans? Indy?) and get to see the world if he cares to. I’d totally…
