That was the year I started watching F1. It’s a shame what happened to Grosjean’s career.

Why would they? This is their agenda and it’s so blatant. Really detracts from otherwise good stories, and this is by far my favorite site, but the blatant straw-grasping/adding fuel to the fire, is really offputting

Wholeheartedly agree. I cant believe the blatant stupidity this site exudes sometimes. You’re absolutely right its like they’re angry there was no racist involved, and so they have to add fuel to the fire SOMEHOW. I mean it predated the dude even having the garage, talk about looking for anything. 

There are a lot of pschological studies dealing with how people, even after they are proved wrong, continue to believe the same point.

You’re awfully level-headed and reasonable for this part of town. 

Sometimes you need a good Theiling 

By making much ado about nothing? Okay

> you may be surprised to learn that the term “cracker” is used as an ironic honorific by Floridians and Georgians of long standing.

And you may be surprised what word people of color use as an ironic honorific.

“Wallace himself is still furious about the situation, as we all should be, making the excellent point that there was still a fucking noose hanging in a NASCAR garage stall for nine months before anybody thought there was anything weird about it.” Justin, come on man, there was no damn noose - just a garage rope with…

...the FBI is not necessarily a reliable authority on crimes against Black people. The organization who harassed and surveilled Martin Luther King, Jr for years, has determined that this is a harmless, non-hate-crime noose.

And here we are, making racial slurs in 2020 against white people. 

Yeah, I think I’m just about done being told how racist I am by this website. Goodbye jalopnik, I'll be over on thedrive.

All this for a garage door strap that’s been there for months... modern outrage culture at it’s best

“So the current “explanation” going around my racist family is that it was the pull handle for the garage.”

I may be swimming against the current here — wouldn’t be the first time — but I’m never comfortable with someone’s expensive custom project that they almost immediately put up for sale. Fresh motor -- 150 miles WTF? -- and paint redone. Usually that’s a sign there are unexpected problems or unfinished parts of the…

I just thought that was a just some guy being flicked away, but I guess we have to point out a person’s race nowadays, do we?

I do service calls in all 5 boroughs. This is a pointless nightmare.

I guess the deliveries come before 8am or after 8pm?

Wasn’t the point of the street closures to give people room to walk around while socially distancing? Seems like having nightly block parties kinda defeats the purpose.

i still don’t completely get this. sure it’s nice on the surface, i love being able to walk in an empty street. but isn’t local traffic like 70% of the traffic on these minor streets that are getting closed? how is a car, let alone a delivery truck, going to navigate the street in the header image? and now you have…
