Some of the mods are just unnecessary busy work. Why was there a need to swap in that whatever LSX engine, which required a firewall cut? Why is there a need to swap in a dash from a 2016 truck?  Why couldn’t they just fix what was there?

I’m going to go a bit out of character here and advocate for the giant corporation:

Musk isn’t dumb, he is acting dumb. The guy knows his orbital physics, for instance, which is a lot more than you or I grasp. I’m not a fan of him either, I don’t like a lot of his choices, but his IQ isn't sub 100.

Yes. We need to call out the shit articles so Static Media (Jalopnik’s new owners) can weed out the bad writers 

Snarky, Brownell.

Yes, it’s awesome to find an AM radio broadcast of Coast to Coast AM during a night drive down a dimly lit country road. It’s the best way to consume tales of sasquatches and alien visitations.

AM radio turns any night behind the wheel into a trip.

The definition of ‘sunk costs’.

I had the experience of driving a rental Tesla Y recently. Some things were done really well, but other things were done so poorly so as to overwhelmingly cancel out any positives.

This is also a public service announcement that you should not let a 70-yr-old grandmother drive a 400-500hp car (with a 0-60 time of ~4 seconds) unless she knows what she’s doing!

Not sure how this can be changed....lender charges high rate due to high risk of non-payment; precisely what occurred here. High rates as a result of bad credit as a result of not paying what one owes on bills is an adverse but necessary societal situation required to incentive people to pay others appropriately and…

I’m not really sure how the city of Seattle will come back from such a massive tourism hit like this one.

This guy would find a way to get it done.

Any story BEFORE slideshows (which unironically this will become) and those with over a dozen backlinks to mostly unrelated content.

It’s like a V8, but like... two more.

Bigfoot is still cool, even many years later. Living in Colorado, I see tons of hugely lifted pavement princesses, and most of them end up looking like Bigfoot when it’s on transport tires.

So, to the ban everything guy, why are you at a car site again? Most of what you hate is perfectly harmless. You’re getting your blood pressure up over nothing. Oh no, flame decals, someone call the authorities!

I’m counting down the days until Jalop ceases to exist.  What a great automotive blog it used to be.  Glad Jason, David and Doug got out when they did.  

How about getting a young FBI agent with blonde hair and a nice smile to go undercover to infiltrate the local scene of outlaw drivers? Maybe he gets a job at a parts store that sells NOS cylinders and intakes?
