Read the test of the thread, wherein I responded at length, genius. Also:

This wallpaper is not egalitarian enough, I demand a properly artistic rendering of a diesel Chevette immediately. No no no, I kid, I'm not signing up for any more ritualistic spanking!

I answered every single one of them in an even and rational manner. I'm not emotionally involved, for me it's just a question, a point of exchange. Like Blueprint said, "only the guilty is catchin offense."

I don't disagree with you. If you come here and read most posts erryday, I'm certain you'll agree there is a missed opportunity for a slight skew towards more long-form on what real people DO with their cars. I'm not begrudging all the posts on supercars, people are interested. I'm merely suggesting the ratio of

Lmao, relentless assholes of the world, Unite!

Yeah, I may be a victim of my own small-minded reverse classism. I certainly learned something today. Excellent point, sir.

Great post. I can afford a 50k car, max. You are right that I'm questioning the efficacy of a posting agenda which includes so many really unattainable models. I'm certain that they've based this on clicks and ad revenue and I'm demonstrably wrong. I just felt an injection of introspection would be a healthy

Yes, a suprising number of you have chimed in! I was verbally dog piled on this one. It was my original question and now I have some suprisingly affirmative data. I'll admit I misjudged the readership, I'd have thought the wealthier guys would be doing something other than surfing blogs on a Saturday afternoon. Ya'll

This is the best response I got out of the whole enchilada. I didn't set out to troll anyone, just wanted some thoughtful debate. I knew that post was flame-worthy and I thank you for your thoughtful response. You get it. I'm not suprised at the vitriol elsewhere though, it's like Kipling said, "better to rob a tiger

I'm not classically educated. I'm an auto didactic. I haven't opened a thesaurus in twenty years. I appreciate your feedback regarding my writing style. I'm also able to communicate in incomplete and unpunctuated, emotionally-driven sentiments topped off with trite memes. I just didn't feel like it today. I am, for

Can you not see my responses? I don't feel that they are childish, I'm not throwing any rocks even in response to poor attitudes. I'm sorry you can't find the fortitude to engage in civil discourse.

So I've realized. That was the question I asked in my Op. I'm suprised at the ratio. Apparently I'm in the wrong place and the preponderance of posts on Halo model cars is a reasonable one.

I'm not intending to whine about this post in particular, but I can see that's precisely what I did. I own that. My motivation was the unending parade of posts concerning vehicles not really applicable to the lives of a huge majority of readers. I'm finding that sentiment is rough going here! Those who can buy these

Nice assumption, they're not big words to me. Careful selection of the words I use to convey exactly what I intend to communicate is an indication of my respect for the value of the discussion. As is my civility and restraint from insults. YMMV

Gorgeous. I'm glad this post was germaine to your interests. I admit I may very well have misjudged the demographic and am the only blue collar person making close to the median American wage in this corner of the Internet. What percentage of posts do you consider beneath your interests, as I consider so many above my

It's the Internet, of course I'm not serious. I'm merely provoking an interesting discussion about illusion, proportional representation and the psychological drivers of totemization in this community, all of which I find vastly more interesting than a warmed-over Audi model.

To the contrary, I can and do enjoy it. However, my interior fantasy life is not strongly affected enough by these cars to feel the connection necessary for me to read a preponderance of posts about what for me and 99 percent of Americans, are unreachable Halo models. I think what I'm seeing here is a pretty strong

Good for you, I have nothing against hard work and success. Maybe I have drastically underestimated the income of the Jalopnik readership. That said, I'm a little disappointed in the space devoted here to vehicles very few Americans can afford and am suggesting the possibility that the readership could be better

Not at all friend, I'm merely suggesting the preponderance of posts seem to be covering vehicles which I know, empirically, can be afforded only by the top one percent of income earners in the US. I'm agitating for a more democratic ratio. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Now that's the kind of witty repartee I come here for! I'm sure you are late for your symposium on organic chemistry as related to the alchemy of genital enhancement products.
