C’mon man, you have to own your comedy. “Jaropnik” was worthy of a star but the backpedaling just ruined it...

This was funny, but when I saw the title on Twitter it really god my hopes up that he had been fired.

Now if there was only some sort of government standard to get morons to turn OFF the DRLs and turn ON the head and tail lights when its dark, rainy, foggy or snowing out......

Unless I grossly misunderstand the situation, the vehicle is perfectly legal to drive. You don’t have to turn it in. This agreement is not because the vehicle is suddenly illegal but that VW lied to people buying them so is forced to buy them back if the customer wants to give it back. I don’t recall ever seeing it…

This confirms Jalopnik staff can always find something to whine about.

Hillary is way more of a mainstream republican than trump ever was

Yeah, I know, the way the LA Times wrote it up is just bad. But Florida doesn’t count votes before Election Day.

Here is CNN’s write-up of the same stats: http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/05/politics/florida-early-voting/

The numbers you’re quoting aren’t votes — they’re based on turnout. So far 7,000 more Democrats than Republicans have turned out to vote. The votes haven’t been counted yet. If significant numbers of Independents and/or Republicans are voting for Clinton, the margin will be much higher than 7,000.

You’re mistaking the 2016 republican party with the Eisenhower era GOP. Trump is the personification of today’s republican party, and there’s no way Hillary can fairly be included as being a mainstream republican any more.

“A solid portion of Democrats have committed to vote against Hillary as well.”

I disagree that any sizable percent of Dems are voting against Hillary.

I fee like people are completely ignoring the fact that their is a solid portion of his own party that has committed to vote against him. It’s not just columnists, look at the counties surrounding Philly. It’s hard enough to win a republican with 100% of your own part voting for you.

Too bad they don’t do this in rural America. There are too many assholes with their fucking ‘fog’ lights on - not high beams though still very annoying.

False. Was not in ALL CAPS.

Really? Then maybe some Republicans will actually read it since it’s in their preferred format.

And most people do get on with their lives. Replacing a charging cable (or headphones) shouldn’t cause actual strife. If $12 for a cable is expensive for you, that’s not the company’s fault - especially when cheaper 3rd party cables are a thing.

“It also put into perspective exactly how amazing Tesla’s development has been and just how much hell Musk and Co. must have gone through.”

Your statement would be valid only in the case that Apple has committed same amount of resources (money) and focus to building a car.

If they did I am quite confident they would…

Do you want free gas for your $30,000 car too? What else are you entitled to?

Buys $900 phone.....cannot afford a $12 cable.

Summarizing the reasons provided above for why this makes sense as “not liking him” is reductive bullshit. Those are facts, not feelings.
