Hey folks, I know how to profit from this:
“If literally one thing goes wrong—if the team needs to call for help or a tow truck, if they get stopped, if they crash—literally anything goes wrong here and these guys would be pulling resources from an otherwise already overloaded system, not to mention potentially increasing the risk of contracting coronavirus by…
Jalopnik now puts being edgy and a hipster above you know, actually being in to cars.
It started with Ballaban years ago (he was a finance writer before Jalopnik) and has continued down that path ever since.
It’s no longer the blog of Wert, DeMuro, Spinelli, Hardigree, Okulski, Petrány....et al.
Why does Jalopnik hate trucks? I’ve never understood it.
One more. Lay the fuck off the “you people”, Erik, or at least find some other triggered phrase for your sob stories.
This site is becoming so out of touch with it audience
Yeah if there was a filter to turn off every article published within 50 miles of Brooklyn it would really make for a better site.
Owning a 2 seat sports cars with a V8 engine is no stupider than owning a truck. They are actually way less practical, carry fewer people, and often get equal or worse gas mileage. They also are built with a level of capability that the majority of owners never use. Sound familiar? Yet I don’t see articles talking…
I’m really only here for the David Tracey, Andrew Collins, and Tom McParland articles. Every time I go back to reading a Shilling or Brownell article it’s the same shitty takes regurgitated over and over again. Even when I actually agree with them their schtick is so painful to read.
This makes sense anyone with the slightest inclination when it comes to understanding economics or common sense. Anyone with a basic knowledge of consumer behavior would have predicted this.
No, he’s more of a weasel person.
Shilling is such a shitty writer, it boggles my mind that he is employed. Maybe under the tutelage of a great editor he could one day become something that resembles a halfway decent journalist, but until then we have Jalopnik.
Yeah, this.
Oh, please. It was the leftist governor here in CA that shut down the Emergency Mobile Hospital program Arnie had put in place EXACTLY because the Governator was worried about just such a pandemic.
Because I think certain parts of Jalopnik find it gauche to own a fancy truck. They seem to be blind to the certain reasons for ownership.
You have one vehicle to choose and you live somewhere other than the center of NYC. You have a driveway, a garage, a moderate-sized house (around 1500 sq ft), and a hobby of some kind that requires cargo and/or towing capacity. The obvious choice is a pickup.
How do you even write for this website? This makes sense anyone with the slightest inclination when it comes to understanding economics or common sense. Anyone with a basic knowledge of consumer behavior would have predicted this. Fuel is cheap right now, and with market instability I’d rather buy a vehicle with the…
Nope. Wagons only served the consumer side. Trucks service consumers and businesses. Trucks will always have a market. Even when they fall out of vogue with the general populace workers will still need them to haul stuff.
“You People”, again?
