I didn’t make the claim that job difficulty is linked to compensation. You’re compensated based on how difficult it would be to reliably replace you with someone who could perform your job as well as you or better. In the CEOs case, it becomes difficult to find a reliable replacement with a proven track record when…

Yes. I was actually thinking about that with the 1st Gear. Raphael recognized that the CEO’s job is going to suck and be challenging, and admitted it’s a job he wouldn’t want to do. I bet he still thinks the CEO is over compensated though. 

Have you read any of Jalopnik’s other economic analysis? “Anyone wealthier than me is evil, unions are inherently good, everyone should pay more taxes so things I personally care about are better funded”.

1st: Raph, There is a difference between 38 DIRECT reports as they mention and 38 DAILY reports as you interpreted. They are not saying that he is given 38 reports every day to read. What they are saying is that he has 38 employees that work directly for him (as in they “report” to him directly).

Agreed. Lots of plastic all over the front end and lower panels. Taillights and trim mismatch and many other bad choices. Thankfully the 2013 refresh corrected most of the errors.

Since BMW has already been mentioned... Ferrari 512TR to 512M

For the record. I am not a DSM fanboy. I respect the cars, but have never owned one. With that said, this was the beginning of the end for Mitsubishi.

LIGHTNING

They could have straight up screwed with Tesla while harkening back to their most well known car and called it the Model T.

I wached Seamen while I was on lockdown, fretting about job loss, wondering just how far behind my ASD son was going to fall because of all of the services he was missing due to school closure.

 I wish I could give you SO many stars right now...

A-freaking-men.

You’re thinking of the old, dead Jalopnik my friend; the one you and I started reading a long time ago.

Isn’t that what’s become of Jalopnik?

I remember when Jalopnik used to enjoy and encourage car culture 

Lifestyle merch of the car brand tends to be reserved for people in a tax bracket I probably won’t ever be a part of, and so I won’t ever truly understand that mindset.

However, I do have a pretty good smattering of automotive themed shirts both from my old side gig in Mexico Racing League, and other collabs I’ve done…

Nah, it won’t rev or sound the same and that is all the difference. The Voodoo Mustang GT350 is the LT5 C4 ZR-1 of our time.

plus those voodoo engines do not have a good reputation for reliability.

I can’t imagine making this my criteria for a sports car.
