If your manhood is so fragile as to be sacrificed should you be known to drive a minivan, it's not the minivan that's the issue.

I had a salesman tell me, about 20 years ago, that a new Civic I was looking at with a friend had "...no spark plugs!"

In this instance, I would not correct him.

I had to correct a salesman once, that was trying to sell me an RX-8 (that I bought). He said the 4 cylinder engine is really strong. I said "actually, this car doesn't have any cylinders." He was like "mmmhmmmm."

Thanks for the note. We do more events than other sites but fewer than I'd like to do, so we'll keep thinking of ways to reach out. A Jalopnik C&C would be great, of course.

It's not "come at me" I truly want to know. We've maybe let people assume anything we do that they don't like was some Gawker edict, but that's rarely the case. If we've done something you don't like it's because I did it, and I deserve the blame if there's blame to be had.
