Begs the question, would the Aztek look better with a wing at the top?  If you move the wing to the top and run the light across the rear you could fix the Aztek.

Below is my stream of thought, in the end I lament to loss of a website that was easy reading and not pushing any agenda.  Simple stories about cars and the people who love them.  Today’s Jalopnik forces us to think more and that is probably a good thing, even if I miss the old content that was easier.  

How is my desire for a car website to stick to cars impacting society?

I tend to agree with you, BUT my point is I come to Jalopnik expecting car stuff and I really like the electric car stuff, but recently the site is half political garbage promoting some odd BS future. Give me 3 more articles about the odd shaped tail lightbulb in a rare French 6 wheeled city car and less cars are evil…

I have now read this article twice, because I am trying to figure out what the point is? Trucks have drawbacks, but people like them. Are we supposed to feel bad about wanting and using a truck? Does the author want the government to put in deterrents to truck ownership to counter their negative impact?  

I am not sure I know who you are calling thin skinned, my response makes an assumption if it is the wrong assumption sorry.  

So where exactly is the line? McDonalds is bad for society, should we ban them? It is not my god given right, it is the right that the US government allows. I can’t drive a tank, but the government says it is OK to drive a truck.

FYI you are on Jalopnik version 2020.  This used to be a website dedicated to automotive culture.  It is now political clickbait with cars.  

I mean technically you don’t NEED anything other than air, water, food, and shelter to live. Maybe the government should eliminate all other products since they create risk to the society in some way shape or form.

FYI, your expectation of this site is off, you are remembering 5 years ago. Please read everything here with a liberal bent. You should feel bad about all the pedestrians you ran over and the pollution you emitted that is killing the planet. Articles like this are just as bad as the garbage Fox News puts out there, 2…

I had a silver one on black RX-8 wheels it was a dam near perfect vehicle.  You could sleep in it and it was actually fun to AutoX.  Plus it made cone set up and pick up amazingly easy.  The low ride height combined with a sliding door is perfect for such work. 

Then they don’t have to, but are allowed if they choose. You can hold a trademark and not use it.

Gene is an emotional guy, this fits his personality. If I remember correctly there was a team owner who said “a burnt Nikki is faster than a healthy anybody else.” Almost the opposite sentiment to Gene, but both are valid. 

Just an FYI for anybody interested in buying one of these. That fucking silver shit all over the interior, it is very reflective and will blind you while driving on a sunny day. I have a Lariat F-150 and Ford never does enough brushing on their silver trim turning it into a nightmare. It might be OK for year 1, but…

I almost bought a convertible M3 in that color. I was shopping for a dark grey one with red interior. The guy searching for me offered a yellow one with light grey interior for around 5K less than any of the others he could find.  I passed on it.  Then I saw it a few weeks later and it looked really good.  

My question about this thing is: how much turbulence is created behind it? That diffuser and the fan are going to suck the car to the ground, but what is left in the wake? Are other cars at the track day going to have issues being behind this or will it passing create aero issues for other cars?

In Jalopnik’s defense half the staff are Brooklyn hipsters who have never owned a car and who think mass transit is the answer.  The other half somehow have not yet been fired, but I give it a few months before the completely ruin the site.  

I had a dealer not give me my car keys back once. It really pissed me off and they unsold the car because they were total dicks.

Does anybody remember when politicians would make vain attempts to physically solve problems like this? I feel like when I was a kid in the 80's politicians didn’t fly to Cabo, they grabbed a shovel and started literally digging. Of maybe chop some fire wood. They sent a message that look I get it there is a problem…
