Unrelated to this story, but this is my last post on Jalopnik for the time being and I wanted to say goodbye to everyone. I’ve absolutely loved my time here and I’ll miss my coworkers and the commenting community a lot. I’m sure you’ll eventually see me here again at some point, but stay tuned to Road & Track where…

Bye... I did this when you met me. MAYBE if you present a plan instead of an ultimatum we can work.

It turns out that love remains one of the best motivators when it comes to changing behavior.

One thing to look forward to in our future with robot umpires is that they are not likely to go nuts on propaganda and load up on assault rifles to wage civil war.

He’s governed by arrogance in the guise of principle, there’s nothing refreshing about that. If you disagree, that merely means there’s something wrong with your mind. Most principles, and most people guided by principle, are not good. And your aversion to money is, well, weird, especially while arguing on behalf of…

First of all, great story with good reporting. (Although as others have pointed out, there seems to be a bit more out there about the father’s past that adds some possible depth here.)

“as Christians, they relied on God’s direction for daily direction who function after praying on God’s word in scripture. Their decisions weren’t based on man-made background but from thoroughly praying.” And once a path has been decided upon, it wasn’t easily changed. “Brad and Jennifer would say we’ve thoroughly…

Star Wars: not shot in outer space.

Accuracy?? It is a movie, so entertainment is ahead of accuracy. HOWEVER my main peeve in racing movies is gear shifting. I get the idea behind drama in cinema, BUT one movie I was watching showed this head to head race around a stock car track (a very unshifty type of racing) they change gear about a million times…

Came here to say exactly this.  Movies are entertainment.  If real life is a little boring, sprinkle a little Fast and Furious in there to liven things up a bit.

When a joke isn’t funny, it is important to keep telling it. It is this persistence that will someday get me out of the grays.

What’s the old saying? Give me power to accept the things I cannot change? In a lot of cases, you just can’t change stuff. You’re not removing SAFER barriers, because insurance says no, the tracks say no, the budget says no, the CGI people say maybe but then you see the budget and it turns out that the producers say…

Fuck details and accuracy. Give me a good story. If I want to see what Daytona looks like at speed I’ll go drive Daytona. 

Is it a documentary? No, then get over it! Stories are stories. Stories BASED on historical events are still stories, not history.

Me. For whatever reason, I always loved the look of this car.

David Attenborough. Richard only commentated on dinosaurs.

For the same reasons that they’re already declining. Who the hell can afford a $30,000 bike? A few boomers sure, but they all want to ride “real Harleys” and cosplay as homeless vets after leaving their dental practice 

It’s like I’ve always said: if you eat a stranger’s ass in the parking lot before the game, your mouth will probably taste like ass afterwards.

I don’t have eyes in the back of my throat, champ.

Pederasts can get it too.
