Came here to say essentially the same thing. Kind of a ridiculous take by this place.

Well, with the exception of one or two scribes here, WE are the enthusiasts, not the staff. 

The Jalopnik style guide seems to currently be: find something interesting and then find a way to absolutely SHIT on it.

Owning people who bought: 

A Dodge Journey, likely priced in the basement, and still coming with a full factory warranty is not as bad of a choice as people pretend. It won’t be great, but it’ll get you to work and school if you need a car. 

Yeah, no. That movie is a goddamned classic. It was a Spielberg/Zemeckis/Gale production, the same team that went on to make Back to the Future.

No matter what your opinion of the movie is, I would say that it is not a ‘car movie’. It’s a police film that has a famous car chase in it.

Who’s stopping these “adults”, as in fully-grown people, from going to the bathroom?

GM are the masters of building mechanical cockroaches.

A certain somebody is green with envy they didn’t think of this first. This story is being optioned as we speak. Be watching for Ken Block’s Gymkhana Eleven: Texas Twister Teen Tricks

Just proves the old saying that a beat up GM vehicle will keep going longer than most vehicles will go at all.

I don’t understand this. If that had been my car, my socially inept self would not be able to setup a go-fund-me account and get actual money out of it.

It’s beautiful, but I think it would be better without the giant fucking infotainment screen hotglued to the dash. 

This one is on the higher end of the price scale for these at this mileage, but the condition also reflects that price, as a lot of them are pretty beat up - when you can find them at all, as the pickings are slim.

They are a cool performance SUV that have loads of potential and can tow 6600lbs. We have one nearby that…

Is this on par with using a vehicle to commit a felony, traffic drugs, or other instances where civil forfeiture is common place?

Love all the libertarians who are mad about property being taken to cover the cost of law enforcement managing this nightmare.

Again - it was not a “freedom” convoy. Those domestic terrorists had nothing to do with anything related to actual freedom and in fact, they denied basic freedoms to the good people of Ottawa.

I support it in this instance, but only because of the way they were protesting. If you chain yourself to a bulldozer, the chain is forfeit. If you break a window with a crowbar the crowbar gets taken away. If you block a road with your truck, you lose the truck. Seizing a tool used in a crime does make sense.

“Gutless” and “chickenshit”? Maybe it’s not cowardice. Maybe they just really don’t enjoy wasting their time over bullshit with some fucking salesperson. There are are plenty of things I don’t like that I pay others to do for me - I’m not a fan of cleaning my bathrooms, so I pay someone else to do it for me. And some…

Fact: Buying a car at CarMax is a much better experience than buying from a dealer. CarMax’s success lies in identifying the market value of that premium. And honestly, 12% (or $2,500 in this case) might just be worth it.
