Let me tell you about this time a car hater came to Jalopnik to make comments that no was able to relate to.

Look, it’s either drive or die in a subway car fire. Your choice.
Seriously. I think the only times I’ve felt actually in danger were walking through Anacostia next to DC midday, and having an unwanted window washed in baltimore by someone who then tried to extort me and attempted to break my sideview mirror...
I don’t know, it’s a pretty stiff competition with places like Baltimurder, Chicago’s South Side, East St. Louis, etc.
Tires are also a very personal decision (for me). I’d prefer any used car to need replacements, unless the PO has the same taste in tires as I do.
Lower it a bit and that is a sweet looking hatchback!
Yes, she doesn’t know what the hell she’s talking about.
It pales in comparison.
There isn’t. His collection seems like a real “daddy used to take us down to the pharmacy for malt creams and baseball cards in his old Studebaker!” type collection. I didn’t see a muscle car in the bunch. Call me when THAT guy dies!
Yeah it looks like the headings were supposed to be “Average Miles Driven Per Year” and then “TOTAL Miles Over 10 Years”, which isn’t really needed.
This reminds me of all the people in Orange County who bring their exotic cars to Cars & Coffee via a flatbed truck.
The saddest one is the Elise. It's one of the best driver's cars ever!!!

So, the exotics are basically jet skis for rich folk. The Corvette is because your wife won’t ride with the top down, so you only drive it by yourself.
In the video, they show a picture of the water behind the building on the 22 acres and say that you’re allowed to fish and camp at the auction! How cool is that??
I’ve never met a poor farmer in this country. You get paid when the crop comes in, you get paid (by the government or insurance company) when it doesn’t.
I’d never entrust one car—never mind a large auto collection—to a company that shoots vertical video of horizontal things. You automagically lose at least 10% of the value that way.
I must say, I’m warming to the idea of guys like this who stash away scores of cars for someone to do something with someday.
It beats turning them into refrigerators and beer cans.
The story continues with a quote that has me rather concerned:
Okay, kids, this is a lesson that getting married and having children leads to a boring life and being told “No” by somebody who doesn’t get it isn’t the American dream. This is......
