It’s good to see you, here. My personal opinion of Jalopnik notwithstanding, I will enjoy reading your content here when I visit from time to time. We briefly kvetched earlier this year, on Discord but... well shit I don’t even know what year it is any more.

Funny enough, it’s going to be only ONE EGT, in probably the next few short months.

It’s been difficult to get “capacity” of commenters over that way. It ebbs and flows over at TheDrive.

If TheDrive had a way to hide or a “Dismiss” button like Kinja has (the Dismiss button being, perhaps seriously, the ONLY redeeming thing about the platform...) it would be better off.

I agree with pretty much all of this.

That has spilled over to the automotive side, as well.

To be perfectly frank, with everything going on, I wouldn’t be surprised if DT stayed in Germany indefinitely.

What do you mean?

Oh, should I have Dismissed him?

Overpowered by hubris. What a shame, for him.

But you’re so blind as to blame the LEFT for everything, you’re also part of the problem.

LOL Shame? Really? Sure, that’s possible dude but uh... PHYSICAL HARM is usually the #1 thing on a non-straight person’s mind. You know?

A self-hating Right-Wing Log Cabin Republican Ratfucker named Peter Thiel was shot one.

I would argue that while hot takes and such have been PART of the decline of this website, it was the 1-2 Punch of Peter Thiel that started the real decline, and the current incompetent-malevolent hands of G/O Media that has just drove the stake deeper in. TO ALL the sites, not just Jalopnik.

Unfortunately, when you live a public or semi-public life, these sorts of secrets have a way of making their way out.

Outing someone can, in some (or many) cases, completely destroy their life. It’s equivalent to Blackmail, if not worse.

Part of that being the fact that the current generation Jetta is (finally) on MQB along with the Golf. So a 2021 is in a sense, back to “Golf with a trunk”.

2022 Tucson is coming in 2 different wheelbases, though I imagine the US and Chinese market are getting the LWB option by default. But still waiting on final verdict.

CVT is my #1 disqualifier for any vehicle. Which is a shame, I did like the Civic and would have considered a CR-V. (no manual; fucked up left foot)

Well, I mean, the S15s are veeeery close to being legal to import into the US, so....
