Yeah, no thanks. Go ahead and keep posting inane stories about the divorces or balding heads of people you don’t care for - bc we all know personal attacks are the way to get in tight with the likes of Orlove and Shilling, the detritus of this site. I hope Mercedes and Emslie find their way out to better pastures as…

Scroll through the comments, maybe there’s a solution for you?

Question: was DT around when Peter Thiel curbstomped Gawker?

It’s so hard to break a decade long habit. Though we all knew this was coming. See y’all on the flip side. 

I look forward to seeing what you do. Aside from Tom’s occasional car buying insights, yours were the only bylines that still excited me. I enjoyed Doug’s writing here, time and ago; Kristin was fantastic. Matt, Travis, Stef.

Wow, I’m beyond bummed about this. I started reading Jalopnik in 2008 (when I was 16), not long before the infamous “I’m pretty sure that’s a Lambo dude” joke took off after the Bugatti video. In the last 14 years, which for those that are counting, is nearly half my entire life, I’ve seen some of my favorite writers…

Does he still write for here...? 

Whelp, I’m out. I can’t say I’m surprised. G/O clearly has something else in mind, and if its latest round of recruits is any indication, these two legends are too good for it. I can’t wait to see what these two have in store for us, because it’s bound to be better than what’s happened to Jalopnik and it’s been a long…

Remember when Raph used to write stuff other than a monthly blurb about an old 80's road bike?

Well said. The comment section on this article is basically a wake for the Jalopnik that once was.

This will also be my last post here.

Oooh upcoming slideshow - your favorite ex Gawker writers.

Two of three remaining worthwhile writers are leaving the ship. It will be hard for Mercedes to steer the Jalopnik off that iceberg.

The Autopian. Next Month.

Yeah... this is the last straw for Jalopnik on my daily visit radar.

Wow, the two best remaining writers are leaving the site, this is a sad day. I’ve been following this site since 2008, and it’s been sad watching the quantity and quality of posts go through a steady decline, especially over the past ~5 years. I realize this isn’t the fault of the staff, but it’s incredibly sad to…

It also feels like they’re the last two remaining “car people” here. It feels like there’s been a rotating door of writers, some of whom don’t even have cars and are more interested in injecting their activist views into everything that I’ve just been ignoring articles from names I don’t recognize.

I would suspect Jalopnik would not link to a competitor

Finally, this may be the push I need to stop visiting this site. You guys were the only ones that made it bearable. Best of luck in your future endeavors! 

Well, time to remove Jalopnik from my bookmarks. I’m looking forward to what you guys are up to next. And fuck Jim Spanfeller.
