Is Zone 6 like District 9?

You joke, but the Libertarian (an aspect of conservatism) view holds just this way. They desire no product safety regulation. They desire that the court system be the only recourse for damages... Because, you know, everybody has deep pockets.

Come now! This is just the free market working as intended! Indeed, with less regulations, the market would have corrected itself even faster, because dead and crippled people can’t buy your products!

Kurtz is my hero. I have never nor will I ever buy Goodyear tires. This disregard for public safety to make a dishonest profit needs to be elevated to a criminal act in the same manner that the diesel deception was.

This is the kind of investigative reporting that keeps me reading Jalopnik every day. Outstanding work.

This was well written Ryan. Really sad story for the families.Goodyear is trash, and I’ll never put anything like that on any of my vehicles.

A bit scary that all the RV manufacturers/dealers/service companies were installing a tire that was speed rated to be roughly equal to speed limits. When reading the article I was expecting to see falsely listed speed rating #’s, but apparently that wasn’t the case. Isn’t it common practice to install tires that are…

I’m sure some of these unfortunate people suffered radial fractures as a result of Goodyear’s aggressive cover up and spinning of the story.

Outside of museums and Civil War reenactments, the Stars and Bars doesn’t have a place, just the way it is distasteful to fly a Nazi flag out of a historical reenactment context. The fact that a TV show tried to normalize the…

Aaaaactually it is. Just like driving a VW with Swastikas is highly inappropriate unless it’s part of some sort of historical display.

Yeah it is racist. People aren’t making that up.

If you’re going for historical accuracy, replace the stars and bars with a giant white rectangle.

You sure that flag doesn’t represent racism, guy? I know this is Jalopnik where you’re all Righties, but you’re seriously saying that asshole of a flag isn’t racist?

There used to be one that would come to car shows when I was young done up like that.

I have always wanted, since learning about the Confederacy, to build one of these with Old Glory on the roof and call it the General Grant. For the lolz.

To be fair, it is actually racist in every single context - as much as people want to try and pretend it’s not.
