We did too

Carry on, good sir. You are, by far, my favorite writer on what is left of this site. Your ability to see nuance in varying piles of shit is truly mesmerizing, even if confounding, to the rest of us. Keep up the good work.

Danger Zone is reserved for the F-14 Tomcat. I believe the correct song for this was “Nothin’ but a Good Time” by Poison.

NP - Time for an engine swap or electric conversion.

Read or listen to anything by the CDC or any other reputable organization and they clearly state this is about keeping you from spreading the disease to others, because you can be asymptomatic and still have and spread the virus. It is a case of where we protect each other and it stops the spread. They are marginally…

Considering my point was that the difference in the drop in sales in trucks and the drop in sales of other cars can be explained by people buying trucks because they need them, yes. Keep in mind the author of this piece once posed the question asking us whether or not he should buy a new car because he had basic…

Given the drivel he has written in the past, I don’t share your confidence.

I hate HOAs. They are terrible, and I would not buy a house in neighborhood where they exist. However, it seems that the homeowner is being a bit of an ass to contact the news station instead of contacting the HOA first. How are they supposed to know why she was needing it? I work in a hospital, and I can sympathize…

The point of this article is that truck sales did not decline as much as cars. My point was that is probably is due to commercial purchasing not stopping purchasing trucks, which would mean sales would decrease less. This is not hard to understand. My argument has been for trucks. There are a lot of plain white work…

Makes sense. Now I will just buy a tractor, wagon, and a van to do the job I could do with a pick up.

Please proceed to tow a trailer through a muddy field with a front wheel drive van and get back to me on how that works out.

You know they make other trucks, right? No one is arguing that everyone that buys a truck needs one, but a hell of a lot of people do and that would explain why the sales have not decreased as much as other vehicles, which was the point of this article.

A chunk, but not all. My guess is the sales figures did not drop off as much for trucks, because most of the industries are classified as essential. That would explain why import truck sales were down further than domestic too.

Grew up on a small farm. The only thing a farmer does is take his crop to market? We raised cattle, so we hauled hay (square bales) to different fields, cleared manure out of the barns and near feeding areas, installed barbed wire fencing, cut trees and hauled out the wood. Maintained ponds far from any road, just to…

Hauling loads of mulch? Horse manure? Tow ratings on vans are less than trucks, and contractors need to be able to tow equipment. For some contractors, you are correct, but not for everyone. It is just easier to throw dirty stuff in the bed of truck and hose it out. By the way, I have actually worked these types of…

You do realize that a lot of people actually work for a living and need trucks, right? That Kale salad you are eating was grown by a farmer that needed a truck. That structure you are living in was built by contractors that needed a truck. The internet you are using to post was installed by a person who was driving a…

Nice car, but it is not worth that price. It will always suffer from“It’s nice, but it would be cooler if it was the GTI” and that will probably keep it from every appreciating significantly in value - CP price, but cool car.

Well, this completely sucks for us. I hope it is a good move for you. You are a great writer, and even when I did not agree with your take, it was always entertaining and engaging. Good luck!

Hey, Jalopnik actually hired a car enthusiast to be a writer. What a great idea! I thought they had forgotten that was something important when hiring someone to write for a automotive blog. Welcome, Toni!
