Want to reduce traffic collisions? Make driving and using a cell phone as big a crime as Drunk Driving. Until idiots start looking at the road and what they are doing instead of their screens collisions will continue to happen. No that one thing alone wont stop them, but that IS the primary cause for collisions these

Does she have pointed suggestions or is this just general complaint/statistic pumping?

I enjoy the tone of these farewell posts, but holy shit is it depressing to see the list of talent that has moved on the greener pastures!

‘Open everything up!!1!1!’

must be nice to make ignorant generalizations about an entire work force.  do you do the same for religions and races as well?

Scroll through the comments, maybe there’s a solution for you?

Say, that looks like an interesting read!

This is not a movie where you can round up the Bad News Bears to go out and win the championship or train the Karate Kid to take down Cobra Kai. Look around. You don’t have anyone left on the bench with talent, moxie, or grit. There are no more lovable goofs that can express the joy of discovering, fixing, and driving

This is a last straw, not a reason to leave. This site and the comment system are actively hostile to use. It was mostly to worth it to fight through to get to special content, but I’m done with pop-ups, an unusable comment section, no mobile support and pages that routinely fail to load.

Really??? Your response is to attack the readers after losing two beloved writers, both of which had far more to do with the success of this site than you have? If you actually give a damn, read the comments. Why is it that so many people specifically mention how good Mercedes is in their comment? What is it about her

this smug ass response is like the icing on the cake for me leaving. i was already out the door anyway, but i kept coming back for torch and tracy. but this attitude right here seems to be taking over the culture of the writers at jalopnik and i have to think it’s souring the taste of many who might still read this

You spoiled the surprise party!

This will also be my last post here.

Better yet:

Jason: you’ve always been a stellar dude on this site, writing the most absurd nonsense, and your passion for everything has always been apparent. Your writing constantly kept me coming back for years. I hope all the best for you on future travels.

I follow both on Twitter, I’m sure they will give updates there. Damn, this sucks, but looking forward to new project. David and Torch are the reason I have stuck around here, not saying I won’t still pop in, but damn, they will leave a big void.

I hate the whole we are leaving but won’t tell you where yet. Like come on, at least wait until you are ready with that to drop the bomb.

Well, time to remove Jalopnik from my bookmarks. I’m looking forward to what you guys are up to next. And fuck Jim Spanfeller. 

Will there be a Jalop article pointing us to where you two have gone, or do I just have to remember to google your names every few weeks?
