You’re absolutely on point.

That response was the most corporate reply I’ve ever heard. They’re marginal editorial staff at best and complete shit at lying to your face.

There has been talk about another automotive publication finally launching a Jalopnik like site...I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop then I’m out of here like it’s Digg.

I’ve been a reader here since 2008

You can immediately judge a project car by the rims. 1000% CP

How about an actual appology and some real explanation about how you’ll prevent this in the future?

Jalopnik has been going down the tubes and fast due to articles like this. You don’t have much time left to steer the ship. This falls directly in the lap of your editorial staff.

If you want to be real journalists you’re…

Jalopnik pushing an anti trump story? Why I never!

Honestly surprised it’s not a Felton article.

So much of the FCA talent has jumped ship, they’re in a really tough spot.

Drives me nuts but I guess it gets those all mighty clicks. Ugh.

Probably more than you want to spend but this is a fantastically slick system for dealing with this type of issue. The Ferrari guys love it because it’s all but impossible to tie one down after it’s in the trailer never mind get out of the car.

With engines made right here in Trenton Michigan!

I bought my e38 750 for much the same reason. The e38 is still european style “narrow” compared to the modern versions. I was driving a friends new S550 and it feels like a significantly more massive vehicle. I think the e38 feels big partially because of the recirculating ball steering box, they never feel sprightly…

Did you drive them out on the open road?

In the city they feels cumbersome like a pick up but once you’re out of that east coast hell they’re perfect for a transcontinental jaunt.

I hear this argument all the time. You act as if the low skill labor force is useless at adapting in anyway.

You’re missing the whole point of automation, the jobs where you don’t need the amazingly adaptive skills of a human shift to automation and humans are left to do jobs they’re inherently better at. In those…

Because the labor costs per ton/mile are already so low. Trucks are significantly more expensive per ton/mile without even factoring the local last mile delivery costs.

On a train you’ve got two employees moving 10,000 tons, in a long haul truck you’ve got two guys hauling 11 tons (44k lbs) max.

These guys obviously don’t work in manufacturing. It’s humorous  to see a journalist screaming about how the sky is falling then pivoting to basic income B.S. because they have zero real world experience.

I work in and around automation, people in the industry are not concerned for the fate of the common man, you know…

You have no perspective based on history. You act like this is something new.

Automation has been replacing human jobs en mass since the 1820's. There’s nothing new here. Automation simply lets humans perform the asks they’re better suited to. Automation is very expensive and very difficult to have behave flexibly.

The…

Why not just winch it? Then you don’t need to worry if it’s raining.

Let me tell you a story.

It was 1976 and my uncle had gone into the local VW dealer to look at a Beetle. He had just got off work at the local auto plant as, he was young stamping engineer.

That VW dealer paid him zero attention to this slightly grubby younger man, he paced around a bit and eyed the Porsche dealer…

I hate your kind of setement.

When you’re out on the road are you only thinking about how rear/uncommon your car is? Not how well YOU enjoying the driving experience.

Don’t give a damn what the perception is, drive what you love. It could be an old brown ‘86 Jetta or a V8 GT Mustang that crawls over every square inch of…

Looks have nothing to do with the EV drivetrain, we’re in the “Look at me I’ve EV” styling era, soon that’ll change and you’ll have your Mustang/Challenger machismo with an electric powerplant.

The Tiers of Detroit are working with Tesla at a frantic pace like I’ve never seen.

They’re asking for ridiculous timelines and getting them but they only get one chance to burn their suppliers before part shortages/ supplier quality issues cause them massive problems on an already fragile rollout. People are already…
