@pauljones: @kateblack: Do either of you think the child believed their mother would go to prison for her behavior when they called 911? I really don't know, but I don't think so. The child did the right thing by calling for help, but she also stands to be penalized for doing the right thing by losing her mom for…

@pauljones: I agree what she did was horrible but I think nothing would really be accomplished by jail time that couldn't be accomplished through other penalties that wouldn't leave the kids without a mother and their father without the extra pair of hands (as a relatively new dad, I am grateful on a daily basis that…

Although the kid is lucky to be alive, the thought of turning your mother in for a felony and possibly losing her to prison for a while is a pretty horrible outcome too. Assuming she isn't a totally horrible mother (other than a drinking problem) I hope they come up with a penalty that would not necessarily involve…

@Ray Wert: I understand the editorial philosophy and most of the time agree with it. I hope you aren't taking this as anything more than poking a little fun at the brevity of some (ok, some days it seems like many) of the posts. Mostly I catch myself thinking, One Sentence! dammit! why can't I have a job where I…

@Ray Wert: The only reason it is disappointing is that you have successfully trained me (and I assume many others) to be like a rat hitting a button for a piece of kibble. Our ADD brains starving and screaming out for stimulation, we hit 'refresh' and see what new thing you have just posted and then out rolls the…

@mechimike: By my calculations 27.6% of all Jalopnik postings are three sentences or less.

That is seriously stupid. Why would they design an engine to require premium when its role is simply to be a glorified generator?

@flat4whore: Drunk people really do not want to ride in my truck, the engine has this resonant vibration at idle that will just about guarantee that they will throw up. The fact that it is at idle is a huge plus though, it means that we are usually stopped at a light when the inspiration hits and they've (so far)…

@987squirrels: It's a nice theory and I'd like to believe it but the painful memories of IMSA, CART, and Trans-Am show that money leaving the sport can lead to a very bad place.

@CJinSD: Would you be asking that if his skin were a different color?

@tonyola: Lovely.

@Minardi Gras: very good call.

@snapoversteer's a dangerous cliche: to this day I feel ashamed that I sat through that entire movie... at 3am no less.

@initZero: @beercheck: 7 mile commute? Try the math with a $200 bicycle off of CraigsList. I have no gas or parking costs at all and I have my fun car for weekends and other stuff.

@Elhigh: That was my first reaction too, "What! Tire Shmootz is an "essential" car care product on Jalopnik? That's about as Jalop as LED cupholder lights! FEH!"

@mkbruin: Whoa. I've never seen one of those before. That is super cool.

@LuckyChuck: well played.

I noticed a puff of blue smoke come from the tailpipe of our '92 Miata as my wife drove away in it yesterday, now I know what I need to do when it is time to 'freshen up' the engine...

That is beautiful. I feel like such a traitor for lusting after that truck so much. Just don't tell my old 'yota.

@RepoManChitown: Well, at least the 2002 that got the shaft was a big-bumper model...
