Eye-rollingly awful as this headline is, please consider that the AVClub is apparently now sunsetting its older content. Just try to pull up - say - season 8 episode 10 via their internal architecture. I work in the business, and this is what we call a garbage website.

There is an old episode of Top Gear where he is interviewing Jaguar’s then designer, Ian Callum. In front of them is Jaguar’s lovely new XK, and Clarkson is clearly upset that he can’t bait Callum into a rant that the EU is demanding(!) new cars include pedestrian impact safety measures. Brussels, Calrkson says, like…

The AVClub really missed an opportunity to turn this story into a slideshow, somehow.

My gf - who works among people who actually listen to this stuff - identifies it as music for pregnant teenagers.

I can’t think of another act that has so thoroughly trashed their reputation with actual musicians, thanks to their money-at-all-costs value system, and yet still remains unsoiled in whatever passes for journalism in the realm of music these days...

Fortunately, her Dubai payoff will help this poor, unheralded and - according to her own self-created imagery - messianic figure cope with any award snub.

The last time my musician friends talked / laughed about this person, it was to ask if her attorneys were still threatening women on Etsy with economic ruin because they dared to use the word ‘Feyoncé’ on merchandise.

God, these lists just make me believe Jalopnik people have zero clue about classics. Let me rephrase: they have negative-clue. Thanks to this nonsense, you get more ignorant and yet more sure of your opinions. If you’d have bought a decent E-type in the early 2000's (like I did) for $18,500 and drove it for ~40,000…

When I think about all of the original screenplays and stories that this done-to-death content (because that’s all it is - content) will push out of the way and scuttle, it kinda’ pisses me off.

Indeed. I couldn’t believe the amount of money that went chasing that plan, and it is - apparently - actually happening now.

If you want to know what happened to the stylish convertible market, a good place to look is online, where you’ll find all sorts of men - who are fat enough that their testosterone levels likely need medical attention - opine about how open top cars are: ‘not for purists’ (Car and Driver, Road & Track) ‘hairdresser…

I’ve put a combined 300,000 miles 0n various Jags over the years. It never fails that some know-it-all sees me parking my car, and then asks me about its supposedly crap reliability, only to argue with me when I explain how its never broken down, or done worse than have a window that refuses to go back up because a…

Despite what they claim, Consumer Reports is still trying to figure out that cars are not appliances. Give them another 40 years and they might answer your very important question.

A bit off topic, but the 296 GTB is the first Ferrari in years I genuinely covet.   That combo of hybrid + V-6 and that body?  YUM.

I started watching the 3rd Mission Impossible movie, even though it stated ‘directed by JJ Abrams’ in the opening credits, like a “we dare you to smell this shit” moment. He also, apparently, contributed the script, as if that wasn’t enough.

While considering a former Texas car (I’m in Colorado), my mechanic found silt in some of the crevasses in the engine bay. Yup. Flood car. Very clearly...when you looked.

I vote for a ‘Thief’ sequel with Scott Caan leading a crew of all plus-size (sexy) women into various heists, culminating in crypto currency take down of Victoria Secret’s annual fashion show. Costarring: Lizzo and whoever played Huell in ‘Breaking Bad.’

They make a big show about enforcing a trivial matter in hopes people won’t notice their larger failures.  Rinse and repeat.

100% agree. Perfect example of how successfully manufacturers’ marketing departments have essentially turned automotive journalists into press release conduits.

Congratulations, Musk, for making the most expensive 4-20 joke in the history of the world.
