There's no possible way my parents would ever do something like this to me.

"They're gonna call me because I'm the AAA dispatcher in this area and I'm gonna tell them three clowns are here and they're gonna try and get a junked car towed and I won't let it happen."

Dear Gawker Media, LLC,

keep drinking the kool aid

But I'm also not too surprised that when you take a group of adults in a common profession and put them in the same "forum" - online or otherwise - where the popular belief is that they won't be held accountable for what they say/post - they'll turn into assholes.

At an event a few years back, a few of us scuttled down to the hotel bar after dinner for a few more drinks. Folks were waiting for a PR person to show up, so I decided to just order a round for everyone (about 6-8 of us).

To be fair, Mallory had the balls to post it. God I love that woman. :-)

Why are you saying this here, and not in the thread when you had the chance?

Yes you did. It's ok, no hard feelings Sir_Stig.

I go camping with my dog.

Why would you guess that? No, not at all. I am just a lady who likes cars and reading about cars; I read Jalopnik because it isn't the usual "buff book" nonsense.

lol Jalopnik..

The follow up story to this story should be the screenshots of the group talking about this story....

That is interesting; what do you do now if you don't mind me asking?

This is why I love Jalopnik. No bullshit. No paid sponsorships that will change your judgement of a car or car company. Bravo for posting this Travis. Your article is everything that is right with Auto Journalism.

Wait......you copied and pasted a private conversation on an invite-only facebook group.....and you're questioning someone's journalistic practices?

Why I'm no longer a car journalist, summed up in one Facebook post.

I think I'm ok with that.
