Jalopnik used to be my midday getaway from the annoyances of modern life. The most annoying of which is the endless injection of politics into EVERYTHING. And FA was this awesome little digression into warships and planes and various badassery. But now here it is, ever lurking, just waiting to shit up my feed and…

Looks like the ass end of a 59 caddy and my grandmother’s toaster had a kid.

With Maxine Waters? 50-50.

So you’re telling me that there isn’t a dyno with a never-ending line of Kia Rios waiting to get their individual HP rating?

I would love to set up a live feed at the Spirit counter at Oakland International just to broadcast to the internet all the travelers losing their fucking minds when they realize they’re 50 bucks into a single carry-on bag.

“That thing is shaking around like some fine imported booty”

The commonality is the human pilot. The difference is that one is surrounded with metal and redundant safety systems in an environment designed to suit his mode of transportation, while the other is on a “vehicle” thats barely removed from jogging in traffic.

When everyone is a Russian spy, no one is a Russian spy.

Thanks for pulling the “I’m talking to a retard who assumes MUH RACISM” ejector handle a paragraph in to a fuckin 14 page long shot-from-the-hip dissertation.

Go tell that to the 4000 US soldiers deployed to the the Polish border a couple weeks ago, or maybe the 30,000 in South Korea. Or maybe a hundred years of Russian aggression and a thousand of Chinese aggression are somehow failings of our security policy. And lets not forget the million little fist fights that we…

Cool complete lack of proof, Ahmed. Want to come to the White House?

“NAFTA, a nearly quarter-century old agreement”

Inexplicably successful? What person with a pulse wouldn’t find things like global intrigue, shady backroom dealings, and potential global conflict interesting?

The best city commuter bike I ever had was an SV650. A little torque to pull it up the San Francisco hills and launch past all the Ubers at lights, and narrow enough to lane split easily. I put an Akro pipe on it so people could hear me coming but it wasn’t loud-loud. Excellent city bike.

We’re gonna have to wait for the Russian judges’ score here at the Oppression Olympics. A high enough point value awarded for being proto-trans and it just might outweigh the whole “Nazi torturer” thing.

The ellipsis on the end of your try-hard response makes the entire thing sound trepidatious in my mind.

Does flying into hysterics help with other facets of your life that you find difficult?

Here in SF I see some. But for every young guy on a sportster theres 10 on a KTM, and zero on a Fat Boy.
