His compulsive, almost oppressive need to entertain us may have turned him into a simulacrum of a human being who no longer can relate to other individuals in any meaningful fashion...

So did this part just wash up on the beach, or was it found inland? If it just washed up on the beach, given the ocean currents and storms and everything, the rest of the wreckage could be anywhere.

I agree with those who say there’s no way a 112-year-old global company can act like a startup, but at least they’re going at it a different way and actually trying to be innovative (doing experiements?) instead of GOOGLE HAS A PING PONG TABLE WE MUST HAVE A PING PONG TABLE AND THEN WE WILL BE GOOGLE like so many…

For those who don’t know, taco soup is basically chicken tortilla soup, except with beef.

I’ve only gotten one CD in a car I bought. It was a burnt copy of The Slim Shady LP. It was my first real exposure to secular rap music, especially Eminem. It kinda blew my mind a little bit. I think the CD is still in there, wherever that car is.

Question: I know the roundel is widely recognized as BMW’s symbol, but would the i3 and i8 be as recognizable as BMWs without the grille? In my opinion, the grille is just as much a part of the brand aesthetic as the roundel itself, and without the grille the i3 would be just another little electric car. Obviously up…

The CEL on my Sonic has been on for the past few weeks. It’s showing a lean condition, I’ve tried cleaning the MAF and replacing the air filter, but I work 5 minutes away so it doesn’t bother me that much, though the rough idle is annoying when I’m at a stoplight. Plus, the only dealer I trust (the dealer in my town…

This...actually isn’t that crazy. Obviously, the Jalopnik Mainframe, housed deep within the basement of wherever DeMuro keeps his pants, didn’t have any input on this.

I’m referring to GMG’s refusal to do a challenge with Roadkill. Despite what it would do for his visibility, and the fact that it would be fun, and his fans would probably enjoy it, Rawlings doesn’t want to do it because there’s “no money in it.” Trying to make money isn’t bad, being a complete mercenary is.

So now we know why Koenigsegg has such a weird name. It refers to the shape of his head.

Oh, Richard Rawlings. Willing to do anything car-related for a dollar, and not willing to do anything car-related that won’t directly make him money.

I think the discounts on F-150s are driven more by the fact that the Silverado is being heavily discounted, and Ford knows that if they don’t do the same, they’ll lose buyers. If they really needed to give discounts, they wouldn’t have so many restrictions.

My son is 7, almost 8 months old. I know he hasn’t a clue what I’m saying yet, but I’ve already said about half of these at least once.

I own two shirts and one pair of cargo shorts.

So...why does everyone have to be paid the same? Anywhere else, if someone else has been there longer than someone else, the more senior employee is paid more. Period.

The current union contract expires Sept. 14.

Please, please please don’t sign him. The Thunder need all the cap space they can get to sign both KD and Westbrook to max contracts next year. Plus, you don’t need a mediocre backup center when you have a better-than-mediocre one in Nick Collison.

My parents take their ‘09 Equinox to the dealership to get the oil changed, because they have one of those Millennium “extended warranties” that only apply if you’ve had everything done at the dealer (it came with the car when they bought it used from a private seller). It has at MOST 30K miles on it. Every time they…

And the best part about it? It comes in dark green.
