Thanks I hate long BRATs

My issue isnt with the cheating -> toxic masculinity connection, it’s with the murder -> cheating assumption that’s startling. There’s one sentence of Jalopnik speculating that the other woman was a mistress and everyone is immediately assuming he murdered her due to infidelity, but if you actually read the source

Current reports are unclear, but the other woman in the house was either a friend or a mistress, though this remains clear. We do know that Maillet’s husband, Franz Dubois, found both women together and murdered them before turning a gun on himself.

What does toxic masculinity have to do with this?

Yeah, wouldn’t something like La Countach (a la LaFerrari) be more accurate?

Conversely, I was born in 1996, making me a millennial as well, and while I was well aware of the Countach and Diablo, the first gen Murcielago with the 6-speed gated manual and the 2-piece wheels is my dream Lamborghini.

This looks just like Carmageddon: Reincarnation/Max Damage without the power ups. I did some searching and it looks like Stainless sold the IP to THQ around the time THQ bought Bugbear a couple years back. I guess this crossover was inevitable.

Pretty sure Germany had robots with black oil

/r/formuladank is absolutely killing it right now

Used a digital gauge instead of an analogue one.

Looks like a US-market 308, but not the roof-rack roadtrip one.

Damn you are old. I sometimes wonder why I keep coming back here instead of any of the other competing sites (The Drive, R&T, etc.) too. I think a lot of it is the not-give-a-fuck attitude around here. Most other car sites are just regurgitated press releases and dull car reviews, but here we get how-tos on hacking

He’s driving the big Autobianchi in the sky now

If you go back further there was a section on “Memes” that included stuff like cotomer sevis, dragoning, Roy Wort, “Why did you turn!?”, and everyone’s favorite Because Racecar.

I’ve been shitposting around here for almost 9 years. Raph and Torch are the only people still around who were here when I first found Jalopnik.

As long as we have Raph and Torch all is well in the universe.

Oh, and if you, the reader, are thinking Jalopnik is about to become a little bit less left-leaning in her absence, I promise you, it’s going to get much worse. Not because Erin was a voice of restraint, but because she’d want it that way.

There was a Jalopnik Wikipedia page for a long time, including a whole section on our inside jokes, but Wikipedia deleted it a few years back. They even purged the history so you can’t revert it to anything before the redirect.

In a parallel universe the Escort was the American car and was offered with an inline-6 or a V8. Meanwhile the Mustang was British and could be optioned with an inline-4 or inline-6.
