Jalopnik is one of the very few outlets that does not agree to informational embargoes. That means that other outlets sign extensive non-disclosure agreements, agreeing to sit on information for days, weeks, sometimes months in advance, and not say a peep about it until a manufacturer’s marketing team says they can.…

We’ll be having a deep-dive about the technical specs coming shortly!

How did you write an entire post about this car, and all of its insane specifications, and not even mention the Freevalve technology it will be using?!

I’m pouring out an ice cold can of Rich Energy tonight in your honor. You will be missed.

Good luck Elizabeth! Your writing is superb and your research of content is so obviously superior to so many. You are an inspiration for those of us who aspire to write for a livelihood. 

It’s the only way to be sure.

I’d imagine wealthier people who travel a lot are even more likely to come in contact.

Not everyone is capable of riding motorcycles, add in that the s1000rr is one of the fastest, most powerful bikes available, and you get what you described.

Not even Dad. A dad would be old enough to remember “pre-selfish” days when people didn’t want the universe to cater to them. And dads realize that it doesn’t.
