Anyone who has ever left a meeting with 45 has evidenced surety that it went according to their lights. Only to be radically disappointed, later.

If you believe enough people need the real race reporting and it isn’t being offered, go do it yourself and build a following. Complaining about the content you voluntarily read is moronic.

Why glorify an event where every year someone dies? Jalopnik has not come out and said this needs to stop (though I believe it does), but they absolutely do not have to report on the races. Like many of you have pointed out, the riders supposedly do it for the thrill and bragging rights and many of the most successful…

I have a question: Does Jalopnik purposely only report the injuries and fatalities from the IoM, in order to avoid encouraging people to try it? If so, bravo. If not, why don’t you cover it more thoroughly?

I mean this isnt even the most deaths in a year for this race. There were 9 deaths in o5. If it didnt stop them then, it most certainly isnt going to now.

Probably time to make some adjustments to this race.

Really! Whatever happened to just being thankful. So much hate in these comments.

Guy walked to work was story I heard. Now he drives in a nice little midsize sedan with low operating costs. Guaranteed he’s happy with a very thoughtful thank you gift. I see no problem, only a blessing for a good Samaritan.

Gifting someone who makes $30k/yr a $100k luxury car or a $1M luxury house will actually fuck them over with taxes and maintenance that they cant afford past the first week of ownership. You would ideally get them something dependable and cheap to maintain (corolla, versa, etc)... an Altima would be considered a nice…

Counterpoint: have you ever considered what the taxes on a brand-new vehicle would be versus a used one that has depreciated?

While it’s not a “brand new” Nissan Altima, I don’t understand all the negativity in the comments.

A lot of people would do what Coleman did without expecting anything in return. I help people just to know I did something nice. He got a car out of it. Yes, Offset apparently has a lot of money, but he did something he…

Nope! Doesn’t matter what gender, a person wou does something like that is awful.

It should raise some major red flags that he’s filing a civil lawsuit over what would clearly be a serious criminal felony if true. Did he go to the police? Did they not find his evidence compelling? Or did he skip straight to ‘give me money?’

This guy is a malignant narcissist in a narcissistic rage. Do I believe him capable of making this shit up because he’d rather burn down the whole fucking city than feel butthurt over being dragged for keeping his wife’s heirloom? Hell, yes.

Hmm, I not inclined to believe a person who would keep a priceless heirloom of their spouses deceased father because it was a ‘gift’

There are centuries of combined experience of auto OEMs setting up assembly plants that says his planned timeline is far more than ambitious, but rather foolish, ESPECIALLY considering their cash situation. Part tooling and assembly tooling takes years to design, make and tune-in, and that’s assuming a fully or nearly…

That’s a whole lot of hyperbole.

The problem is they’re hiring rocket surgeons who have never built buildings or assembly lines before. They wan’t people who think out side of the box so they don’t hire people who’ve ever worked inside that box so they make stupid mistakes that everyone else learned not to do years ago but they don’t have 101…

Corollary, Any intelect sufficiently advanced beyont the limits of the observer’s own will apear to be insanity.

At what point would it be more accurate to describe the timeline as impossible or a flat-out lie rather than insane or overly optimistic?
