Kudos to that pilot. The stress that comes with losing an engine makes landing the plane anywhere very difficult, much less on a highway. Good job.

You might want to check but your chest-pounding assertion that you’d tell the dealer to “get fucked and take the thing back” would be met with some serious laughter. That’s not how warranties work, your demands notwithstanding. If your car breaks, they have the option to fix it. They don’t replace it just because you…

Regarding ‘“the driver was also not licensed in the proper class to tow in this combination,” which sort of implies there is a legal way to tow in this combination, which I sort of doubt.”’, you have apparently never seen a truck towing dual trailers. Which I sort of doubt.

This will become a more common problem as today’s cars become older and their owners are faced with digital displays that stop working and outside LEDs that cost $1000 to replace.

Only since you did it more than once. Apostrophes are not used to indicate plurals.

I don’t see it. A cheaply built car with an oversized engine selling for less profit than if the owner had put the money in the stock market.

And brake calipers that match the body color

The truck did an “honest day’s work”? You do realize that trucks don’t actually do any work, and honesty is a human characteristic, right?

You seem to like to pepper your prose with cliches. You used “across the pond” and “The Powers That Be” at least twice. Your writing might improve if you start using some more originality and avoid shop-worn phrases that make your writing comparable to a high school essay.

As people build their personal wealth based on their personal success, there will always be those who have done neither, but are happy to offer advice as to how it should be spent.

“There’s a whole plethora”. If you’re to use words like plethora, you don’t need to use “whole”. It’s like saying “oversaturated”. Words, and their use, say a lot about the author.

Your article is self-defeating. If you don’t want people to pay any more attention to Omarosa, maybe if people like you stopped writing about her, there would be less to pay attention to. N’est ce pas?

Just curious why a publication that is ostensibly so current and relevant would continue to allow the use of such banalities as “interwebs”. Words like that haven’t been clever or cute since the GW Bush administration. Sorry, I just expected more from Jalopnick’s editors.

That is one strong-ass bridge. Didn’t even flinch!

I’ve owned 8 Hondas. Had to have rotors machined/replaced on 7 of them. And it’s not my driving. Dealer says it happens all the time.

You’re making a generalization about malls based on reading the news. Malls may be somewhat on the decline, but many, many are thriving. Your assumptions are based on anecdotal evidence at best.

So, litterbugs are “disgusting cunts?” Hmm, I think a little proportionality might be called for here, since, in the grand scheme of things, the world is filled with people who do things considerably worse than litter, (rape, drug dealing, murder, child molestation etc, you know the routine), and I fear that you might…

You’re correct, and I think that it will lead to what Volvo is now doing with its subscription program. People will be subscribing to cars, much as they now do with phones and simply returning them after the warranty runs out, so that this type of repair expense will be borne by the second owner.

Drivers in the US? You have apparently never been to any other country, have you?
