You are reading Jalopnik. You are expecting too much. I allow myself to get sucked into reading this zine because there aren’t many alternatives any better.

One time I want to read a morning shift that is not wrought with personal bias, but an objective look at the goings on of the automotive world.

China already has one. It's pretty great. 

I’ve always wondered-does the driver stay in the cab while the truck is tipping?

To me, research is for its own sake, so I don’t care if I get paid for this. Science is ultimately what is going to drive progress. Out-tech everyone and you win the game.

Maybe move out of the crappy blue state taxing you to death?

IDK where you live, but in Michigan, $79k is a respectable wage. It’s certainly enough to purchase a $150K house (which would be a pretty nice house around these parts), lease a couple of new vehicles or purchase something a few years old, and still have plenty of money left for bills and savings.

Mitch Albom remembers those seats, sitting there last season next to Ernie Harwell, Bison Dele, and Ty Cobb. Read all about it in his next book, The Bullshit I Made Up For Your Great Aunt to Believe.

I actually expected to wake up and find the Lions had somehow been disqualified and forced to forfeit the game.

Leave it to the Lions to get murdered by the Jets, yet somehow beat the Patriots handily. I fully expect them to exhibit signs of competence going forward while narrowly missing the playoffs because they couldn’t beat the Jets in the season opener...

Yeah, your arguments do not back up the assertion you want the best drivers, in the most sophisticated cars ever made...to race on the most boring track one could think of outside of a drag strip.

Elon says “like” a lot and it gets painful to listen to. I’d think he’d be more well spoken in everyday conversation about the line.
