I don’t understand the hate on trucks. Especially around here where people praise old luxo-barges like the Crown Vic. An F150 is a million times better than a Crown Vic by every single measure. The biggest issue I have with them is they are too big to fit in my garage.

I’m amazed “Truck Yeah” is even a thing in everyone-should-walk-and-ban-trucks-commielopnik

I’ve noticed the same thing, unless it’s a 10 year old hatchback or compact single cab pick-up, they seem to hate the auto industry.  

This. I really wish David or Andrew were writing all the content here. They seem to be the only balanced automotive viewpoints of the writing staff. Its like everyone else hates cars or car culture. I have always loved Jalopnik for its irreverence and counter culture attitude, but it seems like most of the writers…

This is a Truck Yeah article right?

Trucks (and crossovers) are big, comfortable, skirt CAFE, and don’t get horrible mileage anymore. They also cruise at highway speeds without issue. They will sell regardless of how “cool” they are. Wagons and minivans were never cool, they provided cheap practicality for families, which is why their popularity went…

BBC: “The Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said that of the registrations made last month, 70% were by companies buying for their fleets. The cars would most likely have been on order before the lockdown”

That was my point. The headline is “Brits aren’t buying cars!”. Meanwhile, in America, we are running out of trucks to sell.

Can we, for a second, talk about the fact that the writer of this article, who is calling to shut down NYC streets to cars, has a recurring segment where he films himself talking about interesting cars he finds....on the streets....in NYC.

He has a recurring segment where he talks about the cars he finds....on the streets.....in NYC.  Literally calling for an end to his own job.

“In NYC, I would love to see many, many more streets taken away from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes instead.”

In NYC, I would love to see many, many more streets taken away from cars and given to pedestrians and bikes instead. What about in your town or neighborhood?

First Gear: HOLY CRAP, nobody is buying new cars in England, where they aren’t allowed to buy new cars because the dealerships have been closed.

Shon is traditionally pegged as Braden’s middle name.

“As someone who lives near this club - it is skeezy, the owner is skeezy, and before this they were having the strippers deliver food”

I actually thought the same thing. I was a little bit proud of America when I saw the headline. 

They were calling it ‘Boober Eats’ until Uber threatened to sue. Not kidding.

Nonetheless, you can’t deny there’s real original thought here ... or, failing that, copious amounts of recreational drugs. Either one can bring on this kind of free thinking.

Ya see, this is the kind of American ingenuity that reassures me that we’ll all get through this thing ...
