You knew you were broke when you clicked this article? 

There’s never been an expectation that everyone should be able to afford the top trim of a vehicle, much less easily.

“I will not pay more money for the privilege of having a worse car.”

As opposed to the mountains of green Jeep has been printing for years?  Nahh. 

The point is that Tracy or Collins should have written or edited this. 

There is constant talk of impending doom and how the auto market is shot. I’m simply suggesting this as a means to drive SOME level of additional business - knowing that yes, it’s probably not as good as what it would’ve been in the good old days.

Only further reinforcing the stereotype that the vast majority of car sales people are predatory/sleezy

Not driving it doesn’t change the fact that the lessor paid for it so that you could drive/not drive it.  They’re just looking for their money back.

Because in both vehicles you will be sitting in New York traffic getting 0 mpg, so get the one that hunts down pedestrians. 

So your telling me that if I had $40k to spend, its great to buy this Mustang that seats 2 humans and 2 mini humans and gets 15c/25h mpg but its TERRIBLE that I buy a F150 that is $40k, seats 5 to 6 adult humans, and gets 21c/28h mpg?

This. I really wish David or Andrew were writing all the content here. They seem to be the only balanced automotive viewpoints of the writing staff. Its like everyone else hates cars or car culture. I have always loved Jalopnik for its irreverence and counter culture attitude, but it seems like most of the writers…

This is a Truck Yeah article right?

They’ve heard the dude (and it’s always a dude) coming in with the spiel about how they turn wrenches too bla bla bla a million times and they know the type. Just tell em what needs doing and leave so they can do what needs doing.

And how will that magical ‘other country’ get its act together faster than the US? OH RIGHT! By doing the PROPER things NOW and not needlessly prolonging this pandemic.

And where would the money come from?

Um... one problem with your logic. If no one is working, where does the unemployment money come from? I realize this may be the beginning of the socialist utopia you’ve always dreamed of, but eventually you’ll have to wake up and realize it’s not sustainable.

Good question.  Maybe deBlasio doesn’t want it there.  Doesn’t want the reminder that Trump sent it to NYC.  Ask deBlasio.  While you’re at it, ask him why C19 infected were mistakenly sent to the ship.  That wasn’t supposed to happen.  Isn’t deBlasio responsible for everything that happens in NYC?  Just like Trump is…

I’m not sure what the point you are trying to make is. Does any industry care about people? Industries exist solely to sell their products or services, why wouldn’t they want people to purchase those products or services? 

All the Jalopniks will blame the Republicans for their laziness. 

Easy. Bill Clinton sent all their jobs to China. This guy’s trying to bring some of those jobs back.
