The Towering Inferno from 1974. I was 9 years old, my parents brought me. The theatre had an intermission, and I was shaking from seeing people burned alive, I had to talk my mom into staying. I wish we left but damage had been done. To this day I have had a severe fear of burning alive, and of fire in tall buildings. …

Flying sux because people suck. Lucky me, I have experienced flying from the 70's to late. What used be fun, exciting, even enjoyable is now ruined. Flying pro’s have seen the change in quality of passengers, who by attitude and ignorance, care only about themselves. Unfortunately this is a representation of a broad…

Like my name: I had an Olds LSS with the L67 with a cat back exhaust, cold air induction for a awesome loud whine from the blower. I easily beat auto 5.0 Mustangs. Bankers Hot Rod that blended in with the traffic until I matted it and the whine would turn heads. Very underappreciated car with not a lot of car mag…

I am old enough, (57) and Blessed to have flown on many planes and airlines before 911 when flying WAS stress free and exciting. From Pan Am 707, Eastern And National 727, Texas International DC 9-10,15's. etc. I say keep these ASSHOLES off the plane and let them ride the DOG!

The whole Don Whittington Brothers drug smuggling thing or other racers that smuggled drugs like John Paul SR. Randy, Randy Lanier, Gary Balough. Or just drugs.

Hey, this alows some people {not me} to drive buzzed with more confidence they will make it without crashing or getting stopped. And this will happen to be sure. I am sure some Tesla drivers already do this.

Happy, Happy, Happy! Glad to see one of my favorite Jalop writers STILL at Jalop. Keep on rolling.

Wow! another one. After reading Jalopnik for 6 years and the only Car bloggy-thingy that I read every day, if Torch leaves I am gone. Thats All.

Again another story by Jalops Mr No Fun. I really do not know why you write for Jalop. All your opinions indicate you are NOT an enthusiast and do not get it about the different kinds of performance cars and activity’s out there. why crazy cars can be fun cars also. Or driving fast occasionally on public streets is…

If this story involved an actual dead human, then yes this would be a tacky line of humour. But it did not, so STOP being so sensitive. It is funny, and no specific person is being hurt. Have some fun, lighten up.

It is a ridiqulous trend, go watch Whislindiesel on youtube to see him pretty much destroy one. Funny stuff. “This truck means nothing to me”

Happy, happy, happy, Torch. As a reader for the last 5 years now, I have very much enjoyed your work. If you were gone from Jalop. I and probably most readers would not bother reading Jalopnik any more. Yes David E Davis would have you working for him I am sure. Peace.

WoW! What a dramatic response to this article. Thanks for sharing. I really liked all the European detail thrown in.  I do not think I will drive again. (in Europe)

Git's fun! Write for a non enthusiast blog.

Bbecause its fun!

Ok so " you may have have illegally street raced" Screw you, mr. cars do not need to go faster than 80. You are hypocrite. You should NOT write for this blog. I find most of your work boring and uninteresting. Go work for consumer reports. This space is for car enthusiasts not lameos that are afraid to admit they…

Yes.

You sound like someone that has never truly had fun and lived. I am 55 and have done incredible things, had awesome fun, flirted with danger. I am actually lucky to be alive. I regret almost nothing. I am now, and will be in a nursing home until?, but there is nothing that I could have done to prevent this. I am…

Good for you! It is a crime though the money it costs for your wife to have a “normal” life. I lost a leg and a hip. Now at 55y.o. this car car guy-see name, is and will likely be in a nursing home for life because I can not afford better care. This is a wonderful nursing home tho. I read, watch youtube, car stuff all…

What did it cost for the registration? How much is diesel per gal/litre? How fast can this go on the autobahn? Will Bitch Mcconel get covid along with the rest of the repubs that already, will get covid.?
