Also a Jersey girl, but from much farther south, popping in to add that most families in Watchung would probably be able to pay their kids’ way out of a situation like this anyway.
I’m pretty sure that for graphical artists working at Pixar slaving in front of a screen to produce a movie that is an emotional work of art *is* what they love.
I’m a Jersey girl from that area, though I moved away quite a while ago. This story doesn’t surprise me in the slightest. Watchung is wealthy area full of entitled people who know that there are no real repercussions for “youthful indiscretions” like this. My guess is that the parents didn’t know, but likely wouldn’t…
I love how we’ve reached a point where a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 326 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque is prefaced with ‘only’
Gorgeous car. Now, is the “Polestar 1" graphic on the fenders for the intro/demo, or is it going to be like tags on the sleeves of an overcoat or suit coat that some wearers never remove, instead keeping them on to flaunt the origins of the garment (or demonstrating that they stole it off the rack)?
I’m so happy we have SNS this week because I wanted to thank all the SNS contributors who helped encourage me to get married in a hurry. I guess it was four weeks ago that I posted saying that my boyfriend of 10 years and I were thinking of finally getting married while my father, who is declining rapidly from late…
Dry brush? 60 grit on a belt sander or don’t even bother.

I had a deposit check in hand for a 2000 Accord coupe. Spec-ed the way I wanted it, local dealer didnt have one but said “we can get it, its on our available manifest”. OK, no problem!
Damn, I walked into a Mazda dealership 3 weeks ago to drive a brand new Miata, and after a quick peek at my license, they handed me the keys and told my BF to feel free to ride with me.
Take your star, knucklehead.
There’s a limit to how much repair a manufacturer can do to a car and still sell it to the public. Cars that are on the wrong side of that line are the ones that end up going to driving schools and reality shows and race teams, with flagged VINs and no MSO. We got one from Mazda once that was right on the line, it…
I had a similar experience last year. I got a quote via email from one local dealer but they didn’t have the car in stock. I went to another local dealer to test drive the car. In consideration for that, I gave the dealer that spent time with me the opportunity to match the price. Despite the car I drove being a model…
At 6', 200# and broad shoulders, I don’t fit well in many convertibles. I went to Audi just to see if the A5 was comfortable even before I’d start to think about affordability. The saleslady asked for my license, and handed me the keys. That’s how you charm a potential customer. Granted I’m a 50 year old with a…
Thanks, Diana and Dave, and all of the crew. Been coming round for ~14 years. You have my 24 clicks a day (you have to have some addictions if you’re not on social media). Never got out of the grays on this burner here, but that’s okay.
Writing as someone who posted sporadically but read voraciously over more than 10 years of this site, I just wanted to inscribe my “name” here on this picnic table one last time. Deadspin editors and writers, may you and the great work you began, and the great jokes you perpetuated, find new homes soon. This interweb,…
I’m not into sports... still spent quite a bit of time reading articles here.
I’m going to go against the grain re dealerships. My wife just bought a new Volvo s60 T6. She did test drives at two Audi dealerships (A4 and S3) and she also test drove a S90 T5. Everyone was very pleasant to us, the test drives were fun and informative. We bought the S60 on the last day of the month, and we came in…
It does seem like a smarter move to wait until after you test drive to talk numbers. Make sure the potential customer wants the car, and hopefully falls in love with the car, then let them negotiate.
