Here’s the thing though, the progressive viewers just don’t watch TV the way conservative viewers do. Progressive Viewers, young or older bloc, are mostly getting their news through web clips or articles, facebook or other news aggregators (like Gawker, for example.)

MSNBC made the decision last year that they needed to compete with Fox. The lower rungs were told that they were going to seek more “moderate” programming, but the upper rungs were already planning a Trumpalooza. I hope they fall on their face (except for Maddow, long live Maddow.) There’s already a glut of white,…

Whatever man. Having a bunch or really insanely nice and cool cars doesn’t mean you have a small dick. I’m sick of this shit. I drive a really awful car and my dick is small and bad.

Know what you’re getting into. Generally speaking I’d say that’s good advice but where an Elise is concerned knowing what you’re getting into is only the start. Before you know it, you’re doing this:

Was talking about mechanical, not collision. I’ve seen these totaled hitting a piece of semi re-tread on the highway.

Because every Jalop owns one. Will continue to own one, will dream about the first one they owned, and will never own anything else.

I wonder how many people on Jalopnik daily hardcore Sports cars. It feels like the way people are talking on here that if you do not daily drive a car that has over 400hp, gets 12 mpg, weighs less 3000 pounds, and has no safety equipment than you are not a real car enthusiast.

As a motorcyclist i can assure you that not running into shit isn't always an option. Ive been run into. There was no escape. Shit sometimes runs into you.

Me too. Safety doesnt matter...until you walk away from an accident that might have fractured your pelvis, shattered your feet, and snapped your spine.

I would not complain about safety. Getting injured in a car crash is not fun. I do not know why Jalopnik hates car safety.

Yes, because you can somehow control how other drivers drive and cannot actually GET hit by someone. Yes, as long as you don’t hit anything you will be fine.

Ok I think I’ve figured out how to be a Jalop to the maximum. Step 1) ask for a super awesome car with HP and all the torques and RWD and preferably a wagon. Step 2) once the chumps.. I mean Manufacturer brings said car to market, wildly complain about price, hp, torque, no M mirrors, fake exhaust tips etc in hopes…

...it isn’t a “performance” vehicle. It’s a fucking SUV that happens to have the cool feature of being able to out-run ANYTHING in a straight line. Nobody (including Tesla) claims this thing is designed to, or able to, hot lap a track for an hour straight.

God, I fucking hate people making up reasons to hate on these…

That might be somewhat of a concern for the sedan, but the amount of people who would really take a 5400+lb SUV (even a fast, electric one) to the track lies somewhere between zilch and Doug DeMuro.

I saw on some documentary that this would be a useless idea. The narrator said that exploding an ICBM against an asteroid would be like exploding a firecracker on your open palm. Sure, you would get burned, but it would likely not lead to permanent damage. On the other hand, if you close your fist around the same…

Probably the crotch.

Wholeheartedly. Alpina has always been about substance over style, and the idea that their customers are just getting them for bragging rights - when 99 out of 100 people wouldn’t know it was more than just a regular BMW - is nonsense.

So we should legalize sarin gas to protect ourselves from gas attacks? ... what exactly is your point?

And your illustration backfired, because any person with two brain cells to rub together would see your links and draw Craig’s conclusion.

No, I’m arguing that pointing a gun in any direction with your finger on the trigger without the immediate intention to pull that trigger is dangerous to yourself and everyone around you, and saying otherwise shows a rather dangerous mindset.
