Oh my fuck.

So...would saying “DRUNK College Student...” as a more accurate/less clickbaity headline make it less funny, or just less clickbaity?

Sorry if I missed this in the replies already (skimmed but there’s lots) - “Plus, if owners are attached to their cars, and neither want to have them fixed or sell them back to Volkswagen, they don’t have to.”

I’m under the impression that in most places that do emissions testing, they are no longer legal for road use…

“We must do it together.”

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.
