@Ben R: On Jalopnik it goes over best when heavy on the humor. Otherwise we don't bother.

@dragonskin: What happens when Jason gets that typo fixed and your comment is preserved forever? The author put his email at the end of the post just so you could point out things like this privately. I know the [Jalopnik.com] editors are grateful when notified discretely rather than called out publicly. I imagine…

@bhill78: One of the local news teams in Portland, OR actually calls their weather segmet "Sky Watch Weather"... I do my own personal weather report now, I use the same method and I don't have to wait 'til 6:00.

One more reason to love the N52 in my 330i. Sacrificed 45hp, saved $5k (even on a CPO car), no fuel pump issues.

At least they didn't go Comic Sans.

My 17th summer I had a wild idea, get Dad's ol' rig running and rock that for the summer.

@theoneshot001,The artist formerly known as 440/4 speed, would like a 426 instead.:

If you happen to find yourself in Cornelius, OR (or anywhere near Portland) on the second Saturday in May make your way to Papa's Toys Open House. It's an impromptu show-n-shine, a fundraiser for a great cause, and a time to celebrate the life of John Davis. The man had a huge classic car collection that is now…

I was starting to get a Planet of the Apes vibe there at the start (they all look the same), but then I realized I too had to train myself to start recognizing motorcycles.

I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck.

Just last weekend my wife was showing me the latest Nordstrom Rack add featuring her new favorite designer jeans. The conversation quickly wizzed past "almost down to a reasonable price" and ended with an admonishment for even mentioning Kirkland jeans.

I'm now curious if my non-participation in facebook is why I don't get invited to stuff... I kinda figured it was the other way 'round.

At least they have those license plates blurred out on the Police Cars and Taxi Cabs.

I'm a soft spoken small town guy who's wife happens to have a taste for luxury automobiles. I don't fit the BMW driver stereotype... But I'm not going to let a thing like that go to waste.

Keep in mind that "a boat is simply a hole in the water to throw money into"

For me autocross was always about improving my driving skills, the trophies didn't mean too much in the make-believe "Sport Truck" class where I was the only remaining entrant.

Nice... I'm going to have some decals cut with the same text for the windows on my car.

@pidgeonsplatz: Cheesiest isn't a derivative of cheese though, it's the superlative of cheesy... which is, in fact, an adjective. And any way you slice it, that's still a more appleaing topic than the Hyundai Sonata or Ray's little bro getting a manicure.

Almost couldn't get past the spot about inept and inattentive Mercedes Benz drivers are, that commercial really dampens my Jalop spirit... it was immediately revived, however, by high-speed runs across the salty plains. I'm definitely glad I stuck around for the feature.
