I would have cared about this once, when I thought there was still some possibility that not every new car would look like a cheap Chinese electronics store. But now that we’re seeing that none of them give the slightest shit about driver enjoyment or usability, fuck it.

Go on, try and come up with a way where using “Yoko” as a pejorative isn’t a slam on Yoko.

The Mazda5 was on my list when I went looking for a minivan. I got a better price on a Quest, but really liked the Mazda5 that I drove. Such a perfect size if you want sliding doors and a third row in a small package. And it was a manual!

The person I replied to who said

All I can think when I see photos of her is “she must smell pretty bad all the time.”

1. You don’t know shit about Yoko Ono, she’s an immensely important artist in her own right. Lazy reporting and casual racism are a hell of a drug.

I just bought a car a couple weeks ago, and sat there while the dot matrix printer chugged out page after page of documents…

I became a convert to the minivan life last month. Just bought an ‘05 Quest.

Thanks!

How do you and your wife both play? I thought Animal Crossing only let you have one island, and whoever gets there first gets to do all the stuff, so there’s nothing left for other players to do.

I can’t play Animal Crossing because I own a Nintendo Switch and bought Animal Crossing, but naively thought that by doing that, my wife and I could both play.

A t-top, bug-eyed Cordoba gives me… feelings

It’s not very good-looking, it’s not that cheap, and when I took one for a drive, it wasn’t very nice.

You mean getting in the car, going someplace, then going home when you’re done?

Step one is to stop conflating EV with self-driving.

Spanfeller: “can you find some way to reformat this as a listicle?”

If Torch leaves, I’m never visiting this site again.

It’s been looking for a while now like Jalopnik was going to start dying. Between that herb Spanfeller messing up the company to great writers leaving left and right, it just feels bleak.

I’m no Nissan fanboy, but you’d have to really want a Jaguar when you can order a Sentra that has just as many doors as an XJ.

Not as good of a car, though. You get marginally more cargo space, but no more passenger space. It’s slower, less fun to drive, and has an older interior than the more refined and luxurious 3.
