I was waiting for the right wing talking points to make their way here. The USPS does NOT lose money because it allows Jeff Bezos and Amazon to “just drop packages on the floor” and say “deliver it.” The USPS actually breaks even or makes a tiny profit on operations every year. The ONLY reason that they need a bailout…

I’m not going to even try to hide my childish nature trapped deep inside my adult self right now. Thank you, thank you for this post. I am borderline obsessed with fleet vehicles like the Grumman LLV and Ford/Utilimaster FFV. I’m ordering the LLV RIGHT now. My SO can just keep wondering why I have toys the kids can’t…

You sir or madam have in one short kinja post summed up Tesla and the dealer model’s pros vs. cons so well I literally do not know how you’re not a retail auto CEO. You nailed it by comparing auto retail to enterprise IT hardware. Very expensive, highly competitive and low margin products that are unavoidable. You…

YOU. You are why I Jalopnik. Please don’t ever think no one reads your comments. I got home and thought... Hey, that’s an Aussie Ford. They are probably classics now. Then you confirmed it. That’s why Jalopnik can’t die. Even if I have to drive to NYC and rescue it myself.

I know it’s been said a thousand times but... Fuck 2020. Sir Stirling was a walking contradiction: An aging 50's racecar legend. He didn’t just change the sport, he also mentored countless younger drivers that were smart enough to listen to his stories.

Hey, I’m sorry if I came across as unduly harsh. I have a special hate in my heart for insurance companies. Most people really don’t know much about the industry so I assume everyone is ignorant. My main point is that if insurcos just stuck to their knitting then it would be a low margin business. But they don’t.…

That is one well-modified Countryman. I would definitely check that out in a parking lot while my significant other rolls her eyes.

I am still laughing at your comment. Thank you for this sorely needed laugh. Either you are an insurance company employee or you have no clue how the industry works. American insurance companies make an ENORMOUS amount of money every year. Even when massive events like hurricanes and earthquakes occur they STILL.…

This should have come from Fancy Kristen...

Wow, you nailed it. I was on the Schuylkill last weekend and I got passed while going 85 in the slow lane. I look in the rear view and a Kia Optima passes me like I’m stationary. I-476 is only somewhat better because the troopers are camped out there. But Philly don’t stop being Philly because of a pandemic...

Thank you Scott for speaking truth. I see a lot of folks in the comments here are just hating on a vehicle they’ve never driven. I’ve gotten so antsy sitting at home I decided to start doing Door Dash. I am blessed enough to have access to a few hundred pre-owned used cars to choose for my Dashmobile. Guess what I…

Thanks Max for some additional quarantine reading. Looks like a fierce competitor...

Not my favorite Lancia but I’d still hoon.

Gonna have to disagree mate...

Thank you for the explainer on the shady cruise industry. I am going to miss your snark and jalop knowledge. Business Outsider doesn't deserve you.

As other commenters have previously explained, without the OEM warehouses we as manufacturer certified repair shops CANNOT operate. For instance my Toyota stores only have enough oil, engine air and cabin air filters for two weeks. (Even if we continue our current low volume) We have a number of ongoing recall…

I wholeheartedly approve of this endeavor and would like a regular update on your progress. Plus, I think wrenching on a vehicle that doesn't require a tetanus shot first might do you some good.

I didn't even think of trade shows. The ripples from this are freaking tsunami-sized.

I gotta agree with most of your reply. I have also worked for one of the worst ‘human’ beings on earth as well. You know the old adage: The 1st generation builds it, the 2nd generation grows it and the 3rd generation pisses it away. I watched the 3rd gen literally snort a $80 million business away. Penske scooped us…

My thought exactly. I knew I hated the Eclipse Cross for the name alone but I saw one in a lot the other day and... I am disgusted by the sight of this thing. It’s like they looked at the Aztek and said ‘Hold my beer.’
