A BMW that costs BMW money that doesn’t have a longitudinal engine is something to be indignant about.  

First of all, the title says “quantitatively worse”. Quantitative means by the numbers. If he didn’t want to provide numbers, he should have chosen a different word. There are plenty in the English language to choose from.

Second, you don’t believe anything to be false based on what? Do you have intimate knowledge of…

Because this isn’t facebook? I realize Jalopnik isn’t MotorTrend or the L.A. Times, but I expect better. Otherwise what’s the point in visiting the website? I can read rants with no citations on FB, or on youtube comments or some other cesspool of misinformation anytime.

Regardless if whether any of us agree or disagree with his opinion, Bubba is correct that this is a very poorly (non-existently) cited article. It reads as more of a rant or opinion piece. And throwing ad hominem insults about him (Bubba) and his choice of cars is lazy and a poor excuse for debate.

I read it perfectly fine. The only paragraph in which you provide anything resembling numbers gets caught, as I said, in the “correlation does not equal causation” trap.

“For one, they’re aerodynamically inefficient. If you opt for the largest wheel on a Tesla Model X, your range is reduced by about 10%. This is true…

“Production cars often imitate design elements of race cars to make them look sportier, but fat sidewalls have ruled in the top levels of stock car and open-wheel racing for decades.“

Yes, because the rules limited those particular classes to a small diameter wheel. Large diameter wheels have been used in every other…

Proof that not every part of the new supra is ugly

It definitely takes them longer than that.... an entire F1 pit stop lasts a mere 2-3 seconds, 4 tires on and off, back on the track. Of course they also can jack the entire car up at once and have 3 people PER TIRE during this operation. One to take the old one off, one to operate the gun to loosen and tighten the…

I recently re-watched Falling Down with Michael Douglas the other day - such a good movie that holds up. But there’s a scene with him shooting up a phone booth, and there’s inexplicably a giant Sir-Mix-A-Lot ass in the background.  I never noticed it as a kid but I have questions now.

All the Jalopniks will blame the Republicans for their laziness. 

How is it so bad?

They can’t though. People decided to make a job out of the gig economy, when it was originally suppose to just be a quick way to make a few bucks for beer or gas for the week. When Uber first launched, that’s how i used it. I didn’t quit my job or some other nonsense, I just did 3 or 4 rides and made enough cash to…

What else are they supposed to do, exactly?

Uber’s not a full time job though. At least it shouldn’t be. If you choose to make it a full time job, that’s on you, not Uber. When my wife gets sick and stays home from work, she doesn’t get paid. She’s the boss, and sole employee (I don’t count as the live in IT guy). If you want a job that gets sick pay, get a job…

What is your suggestion? There are a lot of part time jobs that don't offer paid time off either, especially in food service. I would hope those businesses are giving the same advice to employees, but I don't expect you to go off on them for it because it's trendy to bash Uber.

“Readers” is a strong term. These choices look like they were made by illiterates.

At some times in human history, irony was more prized. 

I’ll give you a dollar if you sleep with the Audi guy in return for a 6 speed manual (or maybe that Porsche 7 speed?) option in the S4. Trust me, I’m good for the money. (I bet a lot of that misogynistic mail would evaporate if you took one for the team, so to speak.)

I’m not sure what your point is. Seems like you are using environmentalism as a cover to mandate that everyone adhere to your preference for smaller vehicles. Why stop at a fuel tax? Just give a short list of cars we should be allowed to drive if you had your way.
