Jalopnik sucks at a lot of things lately

Uhh... The oldest Black church in the US is the First African Baptist Church in Savannah, GA.

Fucking amateurs

I actually stared at it for a while before I read the article.  If you don’t know who these people are, it is a beautiful picture.  It looks like a still shot from a horror movie.

Auto up and auto down on all window switches.  

Sick reference, bro.  Your references are out of control.  Everyone knows that.

When Walker, Texas Ranger went from driving the kick-ass Chevy to the boring Dodge

Jalopnik doesn’t investigate.

I occasionally read cockpit recorder transcripts of aircraft mishaps. I remember reading about this one a few years ago and thinking this this guy was seriously sad; it was pretty evident in the transcript. I also think I remember there being more about his mental health mentioned in every other previous article about…
