Yeah, pretty hard to take seriously the opinion of someone with an obvious bias, limited experience of the alternative and someone who thinks that driving stick exclusively is a notable and quirky thing.

So like all journalists talking about how great manual transmission cars are and how automakers should make more cars for the enthusiast crowd... you’re going to buy one, right? Right???

> I’ve never *really* needed the police, so let’s abolish them
But - who will catch the murderous criminals and neighborhood vandals?
> Community outreach will cure those things so they don’t exist.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest you probably live in a safe neighborhood and have never in your life dialed 911.

Right. There are three options:

I get it, this protest is right and the other is wrong. I don’t know how Covid feels about it, but it’d be nice if people were honest. No one cared about what the Mich protests might do to spread the virus, or that they were blocking roads. They disliked the people. They disliked the people because those people had…

Bradley, I’ll answer your question by asking another one: Is this Porsche your “forever car”? Do you see yourself in it driving on sunny weekends with your kid and maybe, one day, passing it on to him/her? If so, I think you have your answer.

What grievance would the UAW have? How dare you follow the contract we signed?

They’ve heard the dude (and it’s always a dude) coming in with the spiel about how they turn wrenches too bla bla bla a million times and they know the type. Just tell em what needs doing and leave so they can do what needs doing.

Whether to DIY or take it to a mechanic is a relatively simple equation. First, you have to put some value on your time. Second, you have to decide whether the job is something you’d get any kind of enjoyment out of. And finally, how much do you stand to save sourcing the parts yourself. It sounds like you did that…

David, there are very few things I outsource on my cars. Exhaust and tires are pretty much a given though.

No shame in that David. I do most of my own wrenching but will often drop my car off at my local mechanic to have them diagnose the problem and then fix it myself.

Nah, that would be silly as that’s obviously not that part of your take that is progressively biased.

Well so much for Jalopnik... this used to be an objective place with interesting automotive news and stories. We get it, the entire G/O media group is on the left and hammers visitors with progressive hot takes daily, but c’mon please keep Jalopnik free of garbage takes like this. Gizmodo was lost ages ago, but now J…

99% of your takes on here are shit. This is just another one. If a guy is going to run from the cops with stolen plates then he’s going to do more to stay free. Or the cops don’t pursue people so they rob us at gun point and the cops don’t chase them for shit. Then the criminal is free to do what he wants because…

Wow, the few times I have had a moving violation I HAVE STOPPED!  It’s a weird thought Bradley, but almost everyone STOPS.

They then allege he ran “several stop lights” before jumping on Interstate 17 and eventually heading west on I-10 toward California.

For $750,000 I can make my own Banshee...with hookers and blackjack.

No “phlogiston” fuel exists, so it’s just all supposition....

Respectfully, this study is shit. They only analyze Android and CarPlay without analyzing various manufacturer systems. IMO, CarPlay and Android are lightyears better than any manufacturer system I’ve seen.

This headline seems pretty clickbaity, since there’s nothing here that says this problem is exclusive to Apple CarPlay rather than touchscreens in general. Why pick on Apple specifically, rather than use this as another rallying cry to bring dedicated, physical controls back to cars’ center consoles?
