So you Jalops realize just how solid of a dude you have at the helm, on the day this news became known, Rory took notice of a comment I’d made asking the editors to help us save OPPO and replied asking me to email him. A few hours later he called me and we had a long conversation about how much we both cared about the…

Long live OPPO, indeed.

That argument about copyright has me worried the comments are next on the chopping block.

The 6 tubes on top are missile launchers, not engines.

Just gonna clarify something because it comes up every time these things are mentioned. This specific ekranoplan is not the Caspian Sea Monster. The Caspian Sea Monster (officially the KM or Korabl Maket) was the first ekranoplan prototype and was absolutely enormous. It crashed in 1980 and now sits at the bottom of…

“Technological innovation”? All I see is technological hubris—a combination of features as silly as the Boaterhome:

David Tracy embraces the jalop ways even if how he does so is a little weird. 

It’s little esoteric nuggets like this that keep me from completely losing faith in Jalopnik.

You can also use this method to determine the age of any U.S. Air Force aircraft, as the first two digits of the bureau number on the tail indicates the year it was manufactured. This F-22, for example, was built in 2001.

The gaps on the door are better than what Tesla’s got

Where’s the link to the GoFundMe page to buy more foreign shit for this guy to analyze? Seriously, that dude is entertaining as hell just due to his sheer joy at this thing.

I’m a little disappointed that Mr Munro agreed rather than corrected you when you called the coil-over a MacPherson strut. It’s not a MacPherson strut.

“LOOK AT THIS SHIT!”

I feel like it might be a combination of ‘excess designed production’ - those stainless steel tubes might originally be naval in origin - there’s a lot of excess capacity due to Chinese ship-building being overbuild and under capacity - and ‘subsidized elements’.

I can’t help but think that labor costs have something to do with it.

They believe in freedom - specifically their freedom, and if that tramples on someone else’s freedoms, well, too bad!

The same people that argue being tolerant means you have to tolerate their intolerance. Classy bunch.

Ah yes, conservatives. The folks who champion personal responsibility until that responsibility is “don’t be a prick.” Then it’s everyone else’s fault for being annoyed or upset at their behavior.
