Kinja's main mission is population control: Only those really enthusiastically engaged with content can be bothered to put up with it.

You’re just wrong:

Opportunity missed to explain how Ferrari adds a Trabant worth of power...

Browsers crashes, autoplay videos above the videos you actually want to see, half-page blockers with content users *knowingly* scroll past, the need to manually load comments, no proper way to sort comments, disincentivising new comments above a certain threshhold by hiding them in an abyss of irrelevance...Kinja has…

I finally bought myself an exotic car again in May, after ten years with sensible vehicles in the driveway. I had forgotten how expensive this hobby is.

Things change. Imagine you had made a countercyclical investment and bought auto and tire stock in April. Then you would be confused and rich now. The best kind of confused.

Kepp It Classy for president!

Fun facts from Norway: Over 50% of new cars are EVs due to heavy subsidies, but there’s an end in sight and I’m not sure how that will work out once the “no tax”-system and other goodies run out. New car taxes of different flavours add ~100% to a new car’s price.

Whut? You're not really in Sweden, are you?

Would have been good in 1990...

Wait out the crisis, put it on bringatrailer.com and watch the price of this coffee table piece soar.

“Do you have anything in your garage that is not a relationship red flag?”

My garage was designed for a Beetle. I can get the Camry inside and do an oil change, but I barely get in and out. My Centennial...I don’t know if I dare trying.

The Freedom To Not Fly Under Bridges Act says so*.

Nissan can't keep up with demand for the Frontier? What is this, 2005?
