perhaps in the markets where they aren't preempted they could run sports jeopardy as agreed but in markets where they have been preempted they could run a special segment where athletes with concussions try their best to play jeopardy.

dude, you could drift one of these with nothing but a boost adjustment accomplished with pliers.

I really think he meant to say that while donks may well be the dumbest shit on wheels the people who build them have genuine passion for cars. It's too bad an episode about sideshows would cost this theoretical show its production bond for sure, because those people are fuckin' hardcore.

I applaud your effort to help this animal. I suggest as a further means of supporting needy animals that we consider visiting a rescue agency such as http://www.rocketdogrescue.org/ in the SF bay area or any similarly reputable agency in your region to look into fostering or adopting a needy animal. I'd like to…

It goes nicely with the term 'commentariat.' So is the plural of jalopnik jalopnikyi? I would be ok with belonging to the jalopnikyi. I think the moderators should be called mechanitchiks after the format of apparatchik.

Does corolla mean anything? One of the first products to be named with the modern methodology using a portmanteau of words selected by focus groups and brand strategists was quaalude. It was meant to suggest 'quiet interlude.' I think quaalude would be an excellent nickname for the corolla.

So do we know how his dad died?

I think what irritates us is not specifically that our sound advice is ignored entirely, but that we are being used symbolically in a ritual designed to help our friend gain confidence in his own judgement. It seems disingenuous to us that a seemingly straightforward request for information is actually just an…

does that say "super bugger?" Completely innocently? like a real life ANUSTART?

Good point. Is there going to be a market for put options so I can take a position against his knees? Even ladbrokes won't let you bet on a player being injured, though I'm not sure there's a specific legal reason why they couldn't.

doesn't the fact that it only has one parking permit despite being 20 years old make you wonder if it's run anytime recently?

It's a typo. He means "gawker Media, nee Jerkblogs, cannot prepare..." Meanwhile, are our blogs prepared for the task of documenting new corvette drivers leaving us up to our knees in jerks?

porsches are for the anal, in that porsche owners are hella anal.

If I were him I would have just said it's a dealer extra that they throw in with every bentley that's ordered in red. Perhaps they started giving them out because people kept 'losing' their key fobs.

he had to go out and buy one that was the size of a thumb. If she had slammed her whole fist in the door he would have had something ready to hand, I'm sure.

Would hot exhaust be produced in sufficient volumes to provide lift if the engine were kept running in flight to power some sort of propeller driven by the engine output? Steering would require a further solution, but of your car generated enough pollution then an air sac and an auxiliary drive shaft off the…

I agree that it's difficult to extricate his top gear persona from his own beliefs, especially considering that he's become a one man media and publishing empire and most of his public activity is in service of the top gear brand. Some of it must be put on, right? Nobody could really be that big a tool all the time,…

You know his politics are embarrassing, right? like john derbyshire embarrassing. He's a bit to the right of attilla the hun. If he started talking about politics it would become difficult to talk about his automotive journalism publicly. Our girlfriends would throw out our top gear mags. It would be like eric…

I think your reference to Roland Barthes may be particularly inspired. I would suggest that his concept of the scriptor as distinct from the author is also relevant. Where the author produces original texts, the scriptor simply combines existing texts in novel ways. His scriptor is the equally valid descendant and…
