There was a lot of self deprecation going on in the ‘70s and early ‘80s. Call it a precursor to hipster irony, but this ad seems like an attempt to get young Boomers to ditch their land yachts for tin can shit boxes. It reminds me of Philadelphia’s ‘70s billboard tourism campaign, “Philadelphia isn’t as bad as

I hate Texas but I love that it’s there. It’s like that one gay bar all the bachelorette parties go to. Sure, it’s awful and I never set foot in it, but it keeps all those bitches out of the good bars. 

You failed to mention the Debbie Downer reason behind most of these cars: millions of people pass through PIT every year, and a handful of them inevitably die.

Apparently they just hired a bunch of BuzzFeed leftovers who only know how to think in lists, like children. What’s worse, PIT holds this auction every year and it’s so un-newsworthy Jalopnik never bothered reporting on it in the past. 

Texas:

Take your damn star!

First Morrison’s, now OCB? When Golden Corral goes I’m walking into the woods never to emerge again. 

I don’t buy it. Sure, a Tucker that’s little more than a VIN would probably still be worth $1M, and this is an exceptional customization. But I think it’s all it is, and the dealership is trying to pass it off as a far more valuable original. Being that the doors would have needed to be enlarged and the seats adjusted,

If Silverman is suggesting we all need to stay in our lanes, maybe she should start with sticking to comedy.

Sure, the Catholic or other Christian religious comparisons don’t exactly line up, but there are plenty of straight men playing gay men and my gay ass never kvetched about it. In fact, I think it’s insulting when people suggest only queer people play queer people, as if our community is so fragile we have to hoard all

I look forward to not opening this slideshow tomorrow. Remember when Jalopnik used to peddle in automotive journalism, not just superfluous content driving eyes at Amazon ads?

I don’t doubt for a moment this is real. It’s far too common to bother staging. In fact the only thing uncommon about it is the Lamborghini. I also wouldn’t really stereotype Lambo drivers, they’re too few and far between. This guy’s calm because he knows he didn’t do anything wrong, and has insurance. She’s irate

He might never get charged with a crime but there are up to six civil suits that will make sure this piece of garbage never affords those college aspirations.

I’m officially old if you and @mfusion honestly didn’t get my reference. 

True, but in China, Hongqi would just build a cheap plastic clone and then pretend they designed it themselves when they’re accused of copyright infringement. 

Itzkoff just got called a dork by James freakin’ Bond and doesn’t even get it. I guess I’m in good company never having heard of this meme.

30 Rock’s been off the air so long all of Liz Lemon’s business ideas finally are coming to life.

I’m almost always on board with Jason’s “so ugly it’s cute” take on automotive design, but I’m sure there was a way to cram all that tech into the face of this truck without it looking like the bucktoothed mug of a Bond villain. If BMW wanted to reinforce the stereotypes behind its drivers, they’ll certainly have

All this sounds delicious, but is everyone in Appenzell genetically immune to the side effects of cheese? I’m not even remotely lactose intolerant, but just reading about a nonstop feast of cheeses gave me gas.

I was going to say. The Christmas Village in Philadelphia every year has at least three kiosks with hipsters making it. I think it’s like brie or sushi in the ‘80s: they started out as these fancy things only yuppies ate, now you can buy them at gas stations. Give it a few years and someone in Brooklyn will start up a
