I will never stop calling Erik a terrible automotive journalist, and reminding people that he drove around for months with his high beams on because he didn’t want to/couldn’t replace the headlight bulb in his Fit. How did Jalopnik lose great writers like Fancy Kristen, Torch, and David Tracy but he’s still around?

Ok says Sean the “fighter jet expert”. SMH

I’ve been there. The runway of the Naval Air Station is close to a highway. You can (Still can? Maybe not.) park close to the station’s fence and shoot photos  of the planes coming in for landing.  You’re so close, you can practically reach up and touch the jets.

“The pilot was lucky to make it out of the jet alive before it crashed.”

I mistakenly read the headline as “Lava From the Mauna Loa Volcano Could SERVE AS a Major Highway on Hawaii’s Big Island” and I thought that would be pretty rad. Too bad it is severing the highway instead, which is not fun at all.

In July 2016 the police in Dallas used a robot to kill a Black man, Micah Johnson.

Look, I’m forward-thinking - I accept that people like her didn’t choose to celebrate christmas, and that they were just born that way.

Damn man, why not sue Chevy for making it? Or Joe Bob on the assembly line or the fucking mine that produced the ore? Let’s just sue everyone into doing the “right” thing as you see it.

Altimas should be profiled

Sure, I’ve met individual police officers who were okay.

“…because I teach my children that the police are supposed to protect us, and that if they need anything they can call them for help”

This depends entirely on who you are, how shallow you are, and what you want to signal with your car. A few options:

It might be rare, but it is still a 250k Audi with dents and missing paint.  $5k max. 

The comments are interesting.

What kind of insane person doesn’t clean their lint tray literally after every use? Should I also wipe every time I take a shit? Turn the stove off when I’m not using it? Turn the mower off when I’m reaching down there to unclog it?

We have good taste!

This is mine the day I picked it up

“A bridge project in Ohio and Kentucky will cost an estimated $2.8 billion for the construction of the Brent Spence Bridge.”

Yeah, but the CIA set up numerous shell companies to buy the materials. The Soviets likely didn’t really know to whom they were selling until Johnson misspoke in calling the RS-71 the SR-71. Yep, before Nixon, no one dared to correct the POTUS.
