And it sounds a lot like Jake is butt hurt that a Corvette is not actually a car anyone wants to buy outside of 70 year old baby boomers.

It’s funny you mention that. I have a background in dealer ops management before taking up a career in building software and interface experiences... with a couple OEMs as past clients, and one of them was a certain Detroit-based make. So yes, I do have an idea.

Nah. Not one bit. I just have fun giving GM a hard time for not liking Jalopnik in general. You’d understand the snark if you knew the history.

Thank you for explaining what people can and cannot be for or against all the while completely confusing what Dr. Hill was against.

Dr. Hill was unjustly fired from CNN for speaking out about oppressed people—further illustrating that even someone who has risen as high as he has, is still an oppressed person.

Given the nature of politics surrounding the state of Israel in the American context, Prof. Hill should have known that black intellectuals, politicians, clergy, activists and entertainers are not allowed nuance when criticizing Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. For black people you are either pro-Israel…

There’s a turn in my neighborhood where people make illegal u-turns often because of the way the traffic signals operate. I saw a person make an illegal u-turn, then turn right into my neighborhood, driving at the speed limit (25mph) down the street. Keep in mind there are lots of pedestrians, since it’s a…

I think the point is: it doesn’t really make a difference to an innocent bystander whether the car that uncontrollably smashes into you has flashing lights or not.

Weird - American law enforcement is usually so restrained.

Driving in a naked Jeep and driving naked in a Jeep are both possible, but I’d strongly recommend against combining them.

Forget the screwdriver, you need a pistol, and training. If men endured anywhere near the risk of sexual assault as women, the concealed carry rate among men would be 100%. 

Oh and to boot... Irv Gordon, the man who drove 3 million miles with his P1800 has also died.

I worked closely with Kat at USF before she transferred to FIT. She was on my FSAE team for a while and we had most of our classes together for a couple of semesters. I’m absolutely heartbroken.

I love ‘em.

I’m an avid white wall and white letter tire enthusiast and it’s damn near impossible to find both in modern tire sizes. This really is the only option besides coloring the letters yourself so I’ll allow it. The more these things sell, the better chance maybe some tire manufacturer comes to their senses and starts to…

I was a corner volunteer for a stage in the 1984 RAC Rally in the UK (yes, I’m old). It was the era of the Group B cars and I can still remember the craziness of Hannu Mikkola, Ari Vatanenen, and Stig Blomqvist coming straight at us at 125 mph plus (we were well protected by a couple of old tires and 5 minutes…

wait..canadians...unamerican.... you may be on to something ; )

Ya know, if those street racers were just louder, the people they’d potentially hit would hear them coming.

Raph, I appreciate you trying to find the journalistic side of a topic that’s rarely covered and so strongly opposed by the staff. This has shown exactly why it gets little positive coverage here - the street racing/drifting/stunting scene is juvenile, poorly organized, egocentric, and ultimately dangerously reckless.
