I think at least 30% of the comments here now are complaining about the place, too! Ah well, it was a good run, until the Hogan/Thiel/GMG implosion. I’ve been avoiding Autopian because Tracy and Torch were some of the least interesting writers on Jalopnik at the time, but I guess I may well have to check it out more…

Pretty sure celebrating Jalopnik’s 20th anniversary with nothing but reposts tells the only tale that matters, there...

The Frog was one of the best of that era of Tamiya’s cars. It had the upgraded transmission from the Hornet, and a better frame and suspension setup.

Getting hilarious close to the era where every word of the “article” is going to be a link. How tangentially related (or even unrelated, other than by a word) the linked pages are is twice as hiliarious. Only 4 of the sentences longer than 4 words in this entire article don’t contain at least one link...

Just following the time honored tradition set by GG Allin...

No, you’re misunderstanding me. As is, if someone finds my phone they can go into the emergency contacts and call my partner or my father to get it back to me.

Nobody needs to see my address or legal name, if I happen to lose my phone, or it gets stolen. 

This is something that’s bothered me the whole time Progressive has had me with their “digital” ID card.

I owned the early 9th gen Civic. It was that bad. It wasn’t a car, it was a transportation appliance. No character, no driving feel, just...If over-smooth mashed potatoes had 4 wheels and an engine? They’d be that car. It’s a car for people don’t care even a little about driving, or looking good while doing so.

Ice and snow aren’t always the biggest hazard to visibility in Michigan - a lot of the time salt is. Sure hope they’ve got a workaround for it building up on every surface!

Mind you I’m saying this as someone who wouldn’t volunteer to serve in any branch, but uh... Wouldn’t being mad that the NG gets to go home to civilian life be more anger by the full timers at themselves, for being dumb enough to sign on full time? Everyone was getting sent to the sandbox equally during that whole…

Pardon me if this sounds like I’m challenging you, but I have a question out of genuine curiosity on the subject of the NG getting ragged on by regular Army and the like.

Well rest assured, your company backed the better horse

I work for a nearly exclusively Esri shop, and I am jealous that you get to work with the superior tool. We have this philosophy of, “the college kids in urban planning schools are learning Esri, so we should be using it.”, and it’s been one of the biggest pains in my ass as the IT Director, the entire time I’ve been…

If he can wrangle Esri’s miserable software stack, it speaks well about his ability to navigate the obtuse complexities of geopolitics.

That’s a party bus, not an RV... I’m not sure what looks worse underneath it, the expanding foam, or welds that look like I did them (for reference, I’ve never welded before)...

I’ve adjusted by just not reading full articles. It’s driven down the amount of times per day I check on any of these sites, because I’m sick of them deciding what I wanted to do when I came here to begin with. I’d imagine their analytics data has a hilarious cliff right around the time they implemented that...

Hey Jalopnik Staff,

Certainly closer to military experience than Roger Penske...

That’s always been weird, to me. Some of the most valuable moments of my career were when someone knew so much more than me about a subject that I felt like a completely noob - and they were valuable because I can learn so much from them, and it helped remind me to remain humble about my own knowledge, however broad…
