While I understand the idea and how some of these connections where made. I would say you may want to take a look at Disney’s older work. Music was always a big part of their brand and there are even cartoons that depict similar if not larger scale combat with notes and scales. I am in no way calling to question your

Firstly Jeremy, I didn’t know you were going to make it a race issue, I’m quite disappointed to be honest.”

Welcome to Kotaku?

Sorry, who are you?

I didn’t think I’d see a comment being the personification of the Principal Skinner meme about the kids being wrong, but holy shit did you nail the energy.

That’s the part that makes this even more frustrating.....Rory doesn’t have to address all the issues with Jalopnik brought up here. Yes, we are all using this as an opportunity to vent/mourn. Here is a perfect chance to step in and praise what Jalopnik still is and can be, and to push the talent that still works

I know you guys are starting the first Changli dealership in the US and will be waiting with anticipation for it to open. Will we pay extra for pre-rusted cars?

This is not a movie where you can round up the Bad News Bears to go out and win the championship or train the Karate Kid to take down Cobra Kai. Look around. You don’t have anyone left on the bench with talent, moxie, or grit. There are no more lovable goofs that can express the joy of discovering, fixing, and driving

Rory responds by first attacking readers. Rory is the editor in chief. Rory gets rightly called out in comments for attacking the readers.  I think the criticism of how he handles this is well placed.

I’m sure there are going to be a lot of people in the comments saying things like, “That’s it, I’m out of here! I’m never reading this site again!” First, grow up. Millions of people read this site, if you want to stop, go with god.

After reading many comments along the lines of “David and Jason are the last good writers remaining” on this site recently, I suspect that Rory had his strawman argument all prewritten for this inevitable day. Sadly, he seems to have missed the point (which you articulated quite well), and I think that’s emblematic of

It’s always sad to see the end of an era. Sure, there will be others with rattling deathtraps they keep running on hope. And somebody else can write about taillights. But we won’t have these two. We won’t have taillight enthusiast bathhouses. We won’t have David Tracy’s fleet of rust here, no matter what piles of

You are right about one thing, sometimes it is time to go and pursue your dreams somewhere else. It looks like they are finally going off to form a new site that is more in line with how jalopnik started in the old days, before it became a cesspool of clickbait and ads.

Ah yes, a “site for us” that is consistently broken, and many content writers who just appear lazy and/or don’t give a shit. 

First, grow up. Millions of people read this site, if you want to stop, go with god.

If your first reaction is “Grow up” then you are missing the point. Here is an opportunity for you to step in and reassure the folks who frequent this site that while you are losing two unique voices, you have many more that are committed to continue on the tradition of what made Jalopnik great: unique and irreverent

No one will admit to it, but I assume their leaving is due to their active refusal to use slideshows.

Somewhere, deep within the steel and concrete labyrinth that is Troy Michigan’s Zoning and Housing annex (Inspections and Enforcement wing), a grizzled man slumps into his chair. Tracy, D. - case file TM - 18-22/JP-Fe2-O3 had meant so... so damn much to him.

I would suspect Jalopnik would not link to a competitor

Oh... I, uh, don’t know if I’ll still come around anymore much after this.
