This is done on the excellent* Queen Rock Montreal DVD (full title: Queen Rock Montreal and Live Aid).

Good luck with Mr. Wand if you want to do the underside.

Right, just let all that salt and crud stay on till spring’s sunny blooms arrive.

Very funny, well-chosen stories. One request would be, no spoilers in the pre-story blurbs.

Admittedly this can’t be argued with. After all, we are talking about the same populace that has brought us Trump and Clinton.

Jesus H Christ, it’s a car blog that used to be enjoyable but is going to the dogs fast. I’m not butthurt, I’m suggesting that the writers here step up their game a bit instead of continuing down the path of sucking.

It’s not this joke specifically, it’s dropping an unnecessary and distracting attempt at humor into a generally non-humorous piece. And it’s doing so in a derogatory style instead of an inclusive style. I’m calling out the shift away from a more professional/adult editing style towards current snark-at-every-turn and

It would be funny if it wasn’t a) for the umpteenth go round and b) copying a faux autojournalist hack’s insipid “style.”

Doesn’t matter one way or the other, he could’ve been joking about sheep owners/lovers. I’m really tired of DeMuro worship and his crappy joke style seeping into every other Jalopnik writer’s tool box. I was extremely glad when he left, and yet...He Will Not Leave. You Will Not Let Him.

And since Edits are Frowned Upon, “they may be crap” was tongue in cheek; i.e. they may also not be. I’d be curious what percentage of Jalops are VW owners, particularly with the GTI being consistently one of the easiest ways to get into German performance.

They may be crap, but no need to go all DeMuro (hint - he sucks, to be frank about it, quit trying to be like him*) and drop the pointless VW jab in for yuks.

I get tireder and tireder of Jalopnik, maybe 10% of the content is now worthwhile, which is currently just enough to keep me coming back. So then there’s an

Like a Wild Horse?

“How this Nissan Skyline wound up crashed into the side of someone’s garage, we do not know.”

Um

Not to mention, the linked article quoting Doug DeMuro. Get over it, Jalopnik - DeMuro is a hack, not an expert.

Can we quit quoting/paraphrasing Rohrl out of context please? He did not say the C-GT it “frightened” him generally. He said he took a PROTOTYPE out in the WET, and found THAT to be scary, and that he ADVISED THE ENGINEERS it needed wet and dry modes for the TC.

Sadly, this level of journalistic integrity is par for

LOL I shoulda read the comments first, just fired that off. The Motorcyclist (Motor Cyclist? MotorCyclist?) magazine review in the current issue is VERY favorable.

Then there’s this.

I love 944s and dailed one for 10 years, but understand that some are pretty minor on maintenance, some are horrific. Mine was horrific as it turned out. The belts, touched on by Stef, need replaced every 30k and the adjustment checked every 15 (and 1.5-2 after replacement). Without running through every possibility

I’m just gonna go out on a limb here (I suppose it is possible they use these dogs for something else) and say what we have here is 12 more victims of the drug war.
