Also, this was far more fun to read than the previous article which I didn’t.

Yes, but I’m covering its implications to the greater realm of taillight communications, which wasn’t properly addressed before. That’s the part that REALLY matters.

You guys covered this when it came out. It was also determined at that time that the margin of error on it was so large as to be completely useless.

I mean, this is clever as hell, no doubt.  But the best thing about this is the article itself.  God damn, Torch, you’re a madman

How would we know.  Jalops don’t buy new cars we just comment on them.

Jeep Wrangler: body on frame solid front axle actual manual shift transfer case manual fold down fabric top.

Is that lead pic an actual promo photo? That is an atrociously bad hook up. That needs a much taller hitch height and/or a load distributing hitch.

Have you ever had to walk from the terminal to the far edge of extended parking in Pittsburgh? Some of those people just haven’t made it back to their car yet.

That all depends if the car’s owner actually kept up with the registration.

The Jalopnik short story contest. Pick a car-write a 500 word story about why. 

Apparently they just hired a bunch of BuzzFeed leftovers who only know how to think in lists, like children. What’s worse, PIT holds this auction every year and it’s so un-newsworthy Jalopnik never bothered reporting on it in the past.

I’m looking for long form journalism, not a tweet.  

Well, you see, the owners held their thumbs over the license plates while taking pictures, so they are 100% untraceable.

Would be a helluva’ article to read the backstories of how these cars ended up abandoned. Hint, hint.

You felt that the “traumatic family holiday” zinger wasn’t enough as a pithy photo caption, so you repeated the exact same phrase in the body of the article? Boy, this place has really gone to the dogs.

The oil was trapped in the secondary containment zone per a poster above.

Tanks for that analysis.~

Yeah this is a nothingburger. This is why tanks have big-ass berms around them. These facilities are designed to hold even if multiple tanks get hit by a tornado.
