This was a fun read.

Now THAT’S a Jalop story!

Always a thrill to see an article about the Ridley Scott Superbowl commercial.

That’s a pretty good Nissan ad. Probably the second greatest Nissan ad ever. After this one:

Their lawyers definitely are. In fact, they’d prefer you just leave the Sienna in the garage while you reread all of their warnings in the owners manual.

My Favorite use of the “Professional driver on a closed course. Please do not attempt.” is on a Sienna commercial when the family drives out of a fog bank.  Is Toyota telling me I can’t drive out of fog.

No shit they complained. Not once in that ad did I see “Professional driver on a closed course. Please do not attempt.”

Let’s be honest, you’re not reaching out to every automaker that has a customer with wheel alignment issues, has fallen asleep at the wheel, or has defective panoramic roofs. Your reaching out to Tesla because a response from them would be clickworthy for you. Most of your email requests are of the un-slick tone...…

This is absolutely true. There’s no way that auto manufacturers can take Jalopnik, as a automotive website, seriously anymore. The hot takes, personal bias, and political rants of some of the few who have stayed have dragged this website down.  If I was Tesla, I’d tell Jalopnik to go pound sand too.  Heck, Nissan gave…

I know any time you question the ridiculous excesses of late stage capitalism (post modern capitalism at this point) you get labelled a socialist who wants Stalin-style gulags and collectivization, but how can you read something like this and not laugh your ass off at the absurdity of this economic system?
