I just listened to her interview. Sounds like a bit of a double standard going on here. Men say things like this all the time. No really fair. What she said is part of why I enjoy womens soccer. They don’t bull shit around. They play hard, they don’t dive, and they wear their heart on their sleeve. It’s refreshing to…

I mean, I get all that. But $120 for one of the most important parts of a vehicle is quite cheap.

Oh I hear ya. I personally don’t think $120 for a new gear set is an arm and a leg. What would you be willing to pay for a used gear set?
No, I don’t have one. ;) :)

I feel like that’s a little penny wise pound foolish. Sure it’s a 10th of what you bought the car for but the car is useless without it. And it’s only $120. What’s a reasonable amount of money for an integral part of a car these days?

The robber had a real Neapolitan complex.

The crowd really banana split up when he arrived.

Someone who has had a rocky road in life...

Idk, I wouldn’t buy the lancer either, but I certainly wouldn’t run out and buy a WRX. Talk about a car that gets beat on.

I’m whining? Or the other person is?

Your last sentence is exactly the point of all three of these cars. How they drive. I too own a Focus ST and you couldn’t pay me to drive a VW. No hatch for the WRX and it’s considerably more expensive. Infotainment on most cars is mediocre. My wife’s Honda crashes when switching from podcasts app to the music app on…

So, just because? You haven’t answered the question. What about the Focus lineup is stuck in 2012 or what makes it’s not competitive anymore?

What about the Focus is stuck in 2012?

And what happens when a Chevy, Ford, or Ram does the same course? None of these trucks are for “off-road.” They are for towing their 15ft fishing boat and hauling Timmy’s t-ball bat.

You’re proposing a fallacious argument. The fallacy leads to your hypocrisy.

Ok, so what it comes down to is you can’t bear to see someone have a different opinion than you and you make fun of them for it. Got it. You must be a pleasure to be around in real life with. Get over yourself. Aside from the people who are obligated to, nobody gives a fuck about you.

The logical fallacy is you’re…

And to your last point about “some readers.” If this were a republican president sending $400M to Iran at the exact moment 5 POW’s get released, the article would be completely different. Furthermore, I never expressed any opinion on the article’s topic. I just think it’s funny Ballaban feels the need to interject…

You don’t get to tell me to ignore something/silence my differing opinion by doing the exact same thing you’re denouncing. According to your logic, your position would be better demonstrated by ignoring/not commenting on it. It’s a logical fallacy. You can certainly disagree with me, but you don’t get to tell me to…

I’m not going to argue the semantics of what jalopnik.com should be. I’ve done that before. I’m fine with it; I just think it’s an odd way to classify things, and I have the right to feel that way.

That said, I’m sorry you lack the self control to let me have my opinions as well. It goes both way, Alf. Plus, how am I…

Careful what you say! I’ve said something along these lines twice around here and got everyones panties in a bundle. But I am with you. This is a website that ends in jalopnik.com, why are they feeding us political bull shit, regardless of which side of the aisle you, I, or Blaballon, I mean Ballaban, is on?
