At no point did I claim to speak for *our people* as an entire group. I was merely saying that we could all choose to relax and look at it for what it was, a poor attempt at a joke that had no malicious intent. There are battles worth fighting, and I don’t think this is one of them.

As the official gay, brown AWD diesel wagon owner of Jalopnik (self-appointed, you’re welcome), I’d like to chime in. It wasn’t offensive, I’m not triggered, everyone freaking out needs to relax. It was a bad attempt at a joke, it wasn’t funny, he knew it didn’t play well, he wasn’t trying to be offensive. Also,…

Somewhat off-topic, but I just bought an AWD, brown, diesel, wagon. Amirite? :)

My brown diesel wagon is being delivered to my house as we speak. No, really, not kidding. No manual, but it’s a small sacrifice. Oh and it’s AWD. (see below)

Flappy paddles! *clap* *clap* *clap clap clap*

Released on May 16, 2000. *Throws horns*

*applause*

Mustangs gonna Mustang....

I say Esca-lah-day. Every Lexus I see receives some snotty “nice overpriced Toyota” comment. I call the Toyota hybrid bubble thing a Pry-us, just because I’m disrespectful. The company who makes the Durango is Dod-udge. When I was young and knew next to nothing, I used to say “Miata ... buy a whole car next time.”…
