So that gives people carte blanche to be assholes? People need to grow up.

That first sentence, rock solid, bud. I mean, I couldn’t have been more owned if you had said, “I know you are, but what am I?”

What is with the aggressively angry comments on jalopnik lately? The comments were always my favorite part of this site, but lately it’s been inundated with a bunch of pissy people just looking for a fight with the authors.  If you’re so upset with everything jalopnik publishes, then go somewhere else.  It’s free…

If you’re shopping the current generation, I can give you my impressions. First and foremost, if you opt for the automatic transmission, it sucks. The engine doesn’t have enough low end torque and the transmission is always trying to shift up as fast as possible. I would accelerate from a stop and after about 25 mph…

According to KBB.com the trade in value dropped $3,000 the last month I had it.

I just returned my leased Tacoma last week.  I was a bit concerned because I had heard of the stories about refusing to take them until you lease something else, but I had no issues.  The salesman just politely asked if I was leasing something else.  I told him no and he processed some paperwork, had me sign it and…

Get a grip.

The “tell me why you’re selling it” is a big one.  You invest this much time and money into a project car and then want to get rid of it after 1,000 miles?  Either something is FUBAR on the build or it didn’t come out like you hoped and now you’re giving up on it.  And with the previous potential sale falling through…

No, I didn’t miss the point- entirely. I was addressing the second criticism in the OP’s post.

Eh, probably not. Referencing a 43 year old movie just to connect a role he played with his piloting incidents seems like lazy writing. I know, people are going to say that using profanity is a lazy way to get shock value/attention, but I use that language too and don’t have a problem with it. It’s kind of normal…

Oh, excuse me, I didn’t know I was talking to a movie jock. Yeah, I lack the sophistication to pay a high school kid $10 and sit in a dark room with a bunch of strangers while another high school kid presses play on a projector. You got me! That’s high society right there.

We use it for profiling purposes.

In high school I had a job washing cars at a used car lot (in Northern California.) In the morning we had to break the ice out of the hose to get it to work and by late afternoon it was too dangerously hot to work outside.  You could spray a car and watch it turn to steam within seconds.

Ok, now I realize you’re about 13 years old because you think watching movies around people is “sophisticated.” Also, not every extrovert has to be around other people constantly, just like introverts aren’t shut-in hermits. Yes, ALL people enjoy time home alone, just like ALL people like social settings. The fact you…

I went into my local HD dealer a few years ago multiple times and sat on the same soft tail I was interested in each time.  Not once did a salesman approach me.  I wasn’t some teenager kicking tires.  I was a middle age adult that drove into the lot with a newer model car.  I could have bought that bike, but I wasn’t…

The best part of this lockdown situation has been watching extroverts melt down and throw temper tantrums.  *chef’s kiss*

I clicked on it because of the funny headline.  If I saw it was just an aviation article I would have skipped it, even if it did involve a celebrity.

This is the exact reason I don’t like going to the theater.  Somebody kicking my seat, crinkling plastic and loud munching on popcorn, sticky floors from jerks dumping their soda out, people talking, coughing, laughing annoyingly, the cellphone checker every 10 seconds, etc, etc.  I resisted going to the theater to…

Reading comments on this site over the years I was under the impression the roads in Michigan were on par with Baghdad’s in 1990.  I thought you’d need a Trophy Truck to hit some legitimate speeds up there.

I felt this way whenever I would watch Top Gear and they had an American car on there they didn’t hate.
