JUST THINK OF HOW BADLY IT WOULD SPANK AN ELEMENT OR EVEN A RIDGELINE O SHIT SON

But why is that a valid reason for this kind of thing? I think we should hold ourselves to higher standards instead of writing everything off to creeping, unstoppable stupidity. If that's the outlook then we should all just stop right now, pack up America and call it quits.

They are similar, but the distinction is that libel is when it's done in print and slander is spoken.

Maybe so, but I still think it's important to understand the meaning of a word if you're going to use it, especially when it involves srs business.

You're definitely right, but the thing that bothers me about the use here is that the guy is probably not sure that there's a difference and might be using the word because he heard some other time and it sounded kinda fancy/important

They can, they just use a different alphabet where X makes all the same sounds as E+X. It's literally twice as efficient! THIS IS SOME NEXT-LEVEL WORDS AND SHIT RIGHT HURR

The mechanic wasn't interviewed. Nobody talked to the mechanic. Carl Stevens Sr, co-owner of XRC is who Jalopnik called for comment, and the guy who didn't know the difference between libel and slander. Read it again.

Haha seriously. At least spray paint the twine black!

Ah. I always forget that part.

Yeah. Something like that, the owner would notice some positive difference and the shop would still be rolling in profit from fraudulent services and imaginary hardware.

I wonder why he didn't make for the shoulder. Looks like he had room after passing that last car.

Exactly. But if you're going to refute this kind of thing, it's going to fall into one of those two categories, and most people don't seem to know the difference or that libel even exists.

I have to wonder, assuming this is as it appears, what's the point of even opening the thing up if you're going to do this poor of a job?

"It's slander," the elder Stevens said before hanging up. "The other shop, whoever worked on it, is slandering my name. I have an attorney working on it and that's all I can say right now."

Yeah I know, I just wanted to use that GIF because I'm a butthole.

I agree the Coupe is silly, but the Roadster is the Convertible they should have made in the first place. Why would you drive the Canvas Goitermobile when you can stash that hunk of material under a panel where it belongs? It looks so much better with the top down.

Begun, the Transmission War has.

Yeah I think someone went off the deep end a little bit.

I think it's still leaf springs but honestly I'm not sure.
