Dude, some times I wonder why you write for an auto-blog site. “I mean almost any new car today will be... fine!” It isn’t like poeple ONLY go to a dealership make sure the car isn’t a shit-box.

No, don’t let him do his thing.  He should not be writing articles on this site because his opinion is garbage and we all know it.  

I’m starting to think that people like you and me may not be Jalopnik’s target audience anymore.

If that’s his point, it should have been stated more clearly.

Again, it’s an article from Erik... he thinks the epitome of cars is the Honda Fit.  Just let him do his thing.

are you sure you work at an auto-enthusiasts site?

Exactly! Purchasing without a test drive seems awfully foolish. Would anyone purchase a house based off the Zillow page alone.

I’m sick of the SUV hate. They sit taller, your legs are at a more comfortable angle and get almost the same mileage as cars these days (crossovers, not full-size SUV’s) 

Except to verify that the car you’ve been lusting after doesn’t have some big stupid gargoyle jutting out of the console that jabs the side of your kneecap at all times (lookin’ at you 8th gen Honda Civic with your poorly placed e-brake handle) or that the headliner in the sunroof-equipped model doesn’t present a 1/2"…

LOL, drive a GT350 or a Corvette or a Hellcat or a Raptor or whatever, then tell me Japanese cars are less boring.

Reliable Toyota to VW. What could go wrong? 

Don’t do it. Seriously. Of those I’ve known who’ve owned VW products, fully half wound up having major issues with them within a few years.

It's called a "negotiation yacht" and it's integral to the bargaining process.

You can count on it.

The next level is the UAW executives will charter a cruise ship, stock it with expensive food and cigars and cruise international waters until this blows over, all paid with union dues of course

If IndyCar and NASCAR were smart, they’d get in touch with iRacing and run televised simulator races the next couple weekends. Not for points of course, just exhibition with reasonable prize pools to put something on those TV timeslots.

I know our resident NASCAR writers are gone now but honestly, it’s a little surprising that the site hasn’t mentioned anything about the next two races being postponed. Same goes for Indycar, only it’s the next four races.

On what basis is you calling prison labor abuse?

How is this abuse? they are simply making hand sanitizer.
