A lot of ink has already been spilled on this subject, but the Dodge D series —> Ram in 1994. Damn thing did not just reinvent the truck itself, but the ENTIRE 1/2 ton+ truck market. Regular Car Reviews nailed it in one of their earliest videos: “Up until that point, trucks were a square thing that rattled and smelled…

Elon Musk figuring out what Republicans have known for decades: The best bad-faith arguments are the ones that actually kinda make sense.

Somebody had a very aggressive tweet recently read: Cars a and watches being intricately related is purely a construction of journalists who only hear each other’s opinions.

Welcome Steve. You’re WRX take is indeed preposterous, but it wouldn’t be Jalopnik if we all didn’t believe in something completely insane, like Torch’s belief that anthropomorphic cars should have their eyes be in their headlights. Dying on pointless hills is good and people should do it more often.

There was great running joke that the express is basically just the box an LS swap comes in.

Short people: They’re not to be trusted.

You kid, but I feel like I have this conversation with myself when 90% of new car models come out:

It’s a lot more of the fake-overland style than the bling style. Less 20 inch rims, more 40 inch tires. I also think the ratio of trucks that are compensating for something vs. ones used for work leans towards the latter more than the Big 3

Toyota in particular is the worst offender. It’s like they just took that Lexus grille that everyone hates moved it below the headlights so it looks more like an actual mouth. 

Yeah, Tacomas and 4Runners definitely tend to get the worse bro0dozer treatment. 

I knew I wasn’t the only one that saw it. 

With all the hubbub about this thing, all I’ve been able to think is that it doesn’t look as bad as the Silverado. Which is about the lowest bar one could possibly have to clear. 

i did not know these existed until right now. holy shit

Levine can be really annoying. When that famous picture of an Super Duty next to a 90's Tacoma was going around, he tweeted out a comparison of the fuel economy of both trucks when new, and of course the Tacoma’s was garbage.

I went to Michigan State after growing up in Chicago, and I’m convinced a Buick Verano has never sold outside of Michigan.

I hope as many people like this for the sly reference as they did for the point he was making. 

I don’t know if you did this on purpose, but it’s a fantastic Norm MacDonald sky-point regardless.

Erik’s Neutral: It’s always a shock to see what percentage of cars on the road are from the big 3 when you go to Michigan. I swear to God, I had no idea so many Pontiacs were still on the road. 

hell yeah, I needed an excuse to listen to this
