Yeah, my thoughts exactly. This could be a really bad precedent if enforced. Fuck them, but I don’t think this is the way to go. 

Nothing like “emergency powers” being used to take people’s private property without recourse.

this smug ass response is like the icing on the cake for me leaving. i was already out the door anyway, but i kept coming back for torch and tracy. but this attitude right here seems to be taking over the culture of the writers at jalopnik and i have to think it’s souring the taste of many who might still read this…

I told them that they’re Jalopnik now. They are, and if you want to be, so are you.

It’s not just David and Jason leaving man. It’s the broken comments system. It’s the constant listicles. It’s the lack of proof reading, the lazy reprints/links to other outlet’s articles, the ill advised hot takes like the “It’s okay people are robbing trains because they lost their jobs” article from a few weeks…

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.

I was always under the impression that you simply couldn’t open those passenger / emergency exist doors while the plane was in flight. Maybe the plastic cover of the door moved a couple inches, but I doubt the door itself did.

“NOooo the air conditioning is on! Jesus,  Ernesto!”

All I can say is at least we have MotorWeek. My dad introduced me to the show back in the 80's and I have been hooked ever since. I grew up about five minutes away from Maryland Public Television’s HQ (they were the station that has produced the show since it started in 1981) and every once and awhile we would see…

Tanner’s ego was too big to fit on-screen; I preferred Rutledge Wood. Even so it just didn’t gel the way the UK show did.

“The English colonies in Canada did not join the Revolutionaries’ cause back then the Queen of England was considered the sovereign of the country.”

You are all missing the point because you can’t see the slant of the media’s coverage. Jalopnik is not about cars anymore. It’s about how cars fit into left wing ideologies. The protests are being supported by the vast majority of the country. They are taking place in every provincial capital and cities and towns…

It’s been really unsettling to watch liberals react to this basically the same way that the right responded to the Floyd protests. People love the cops as long as they are directed against those that they perceive as their political enemies.

So the owner is an idiot who didn’t do the maintenance he was supposed to and is lamely trying to get public sympathy in the hopes he’ll get a new engine out of it.

“self-centered “driver” who is too oblivious and too cheap to pop for a tow truck”

“Value is pretty much bullshit”

I’ll take, individual who needs to pick up a book one time in his life for $200, Alex

“The one fallacy of our capitalistic market system — one that enables and allows individuals to (bafflingly, at least to me) charge more for something that is in short supply — is the arbitrary notion of assigning value to goods,…

I don’t see how this is the county’s fault. It’s pretty basic knowledge that you don’t leave your vehicle in a snowstorm. Sounds like the family is lashing out because they don’t want to recognize their son/brother made a poor choice. Sad stuff for sure 

Im pretty sure Jeremy Clarkson speaks for all of the UK and he likes right on red.
