Maybe during this sad time for this area of Michigan, y’all could just... not shit on a dude’s lifetime of passion thats been lost to a disaster? Just spit-ballin.

Kit car base?

Rust? Try finding an MR2 without it...

Just a combination of “I hate car things” articles.  :)

Well thank goodness for that. Hopefully, this will kill truck sales, allow us to stop cars from coming into cities, and FINALLY stop people from driving to work.

I was a lot boy at a Toyota dealership when the first of these arrived, and when it came time for a run to the DMV, did I sign one out? Why yes, I did.

I think it's the eyes of the car's a.i. looking wistfully into the middle distance

I just need someone to explain what the heck is going on here:

Agreed. Crisis is our new form of entertainment, and the 9/11 response is largely to blame (the media). That was a key turning point where we needed info, the internet was starting to mature, and news became all about ratings. A bad combo.

First gear: Stick to cars. Stick to cars. Stick to cars. Stick to cars. Stick to cars. There are PLENTY of places to get the same critical, politicized perspective. Stick to cars. And also, stick to cars.

For YEARS writers across many car mags and websites (Jalopnik especially) kept saying “when oil goes back up, people will move away from SUVs and trucks in droves”

You missed the mileage section regarding Tesla’s and big wheels apparently.

I’m siding with Bubba here. And for context, I’m an automotive engineer. tall and short sidewalls have their place. It isn’t so much that one is better than the other, its that each has pros and cons in different context. tldr: its application dependent.

sigh...

Yes, when the title of an article claims something is quantitatively worse, I expect quantitative data to back up that claim. I wasn’t aware that was such a controversial position.

“Saying “citation needed” isn’t a shortcut to smart.”

No, it’s a nice way of asking the author to back up his claims with evidence. …

I mean, it is a girl’s car...

Really not sure why people latched on to the word ‘Vette. Me thinks they have some trauma in their life they need to deal with. “Where did the ‘Vette touch you?”  Next time I mention it, I’ll be sure to leave a trigger warning.

...it means I fact check things rather than just believing anything and everything that gets tossed my direction. It means I value evidence to support arguments, not just believing whatever pops into someone’s head because they happen to write a blog. It means I critically evaluate data to determine where people are…

Because this isn’t facebook? I realize Jalopnik isn’t MotorTrend or the L.A. Times, but I expect better. Otherwise what’s the point in visiting the website? I can read rants with no citations on FB, or on youtube comments or some other cesspool of misinformation anytime.

When everyone, including you, resorts to ad hominem attacks, and can’t formulate even a basic rebuttal it doesn’t really challenge my argument, now does it? Really just shows you to be an internet tough guy who can’t carry on a conversation with people who don’t believe exactly as you do.

How sad for you.

Its a true story. My dad had a lung transplant almost 11 years ago. When he started going into rejection a few years ago I happened across a rough, but running and driving, C3 Corvette for next to nothing. He was supposed to get his ‘Vette after surviving the transplant, but life got in the way and he never ended up…
