I’m pouring out an ice cold can of Rich Energy tonight in your honor. You will be missed. Read more

Good luck Elizabeth! Your writing is superb and your research of content is so obviously superior to so many. You are an inspiration for those of us who aspire to write for a livelihood.  Read more

Good luck. Your best work was your airlopnik work: Read more

Your number is off. Approximately 30% of the population rents, which makes charging difficult. Another chunk owns but doesn’t have off street parking. Another chuck requires longer driving distances, load carrying capacity, towing, etc. So your 80% number is too high by a minimum of 10% and possibly quite a bit more. Read more

It’s nice to reach that stage in life where you can afford to have BOTH nice shiny new cars that work, and a few old crocks to play with that maybe don’t. It sucks to be at that stage of life where you can ONLY afford the old crocks. Read more

You guys need to do a Top Gear style show with the budget Jalopnik can provide. The group of personalities you have is a goldmine here, and yes, I did watch the one that you guys did get to air. Read more

DIY’ing even on its most basic level can save time and money. I feel that brakes are very easy if you know what you are doing, yet it scares a lot of non-wrenchers. Once you can do your own brakes correctly, I’d say you can call yourself a wrencher. My bar is low but I feel that if you can tackle brakes you are ready… Read more

4th - so let me get this straight. White collar criminals convicted of taking bribes, corruption, or obstruction of justice get pardoned or shorter sentences. But a union official gets a longer sentence than prosecutors requested? Read more

NASCAR has shown itself an ever more increasingly stupid exercise in excess and recklessness in the “hold my beer” culture. Time after time, they can’t seem to end a race without tremendous wrecks, suggesting (unfairly) that their drivers can’t drive worth a fuck. Guiding a poweful brick-shaped billboard around a bowl… Read more

As a kid of the 70s and 80s, I was into NASCAR and totally oblivious to political BS. Now as I get older, I often think "WTF was I thinking?". I have more fun watching my son race in Mario Kart than NASCAR. Read more

Neutral:

I think 2nd gear is the bigger of the stories here. With the sale of the Rayong plant, GM is essentially giving up on SE Asia, which has one of the largest growth opportunities as half a billion people move into the middle class. Holden is a sad demise, but it impacts a market of ~30 million people, which is peanuts… Read more

The loss of Holden is sad, but it was already a husk of its former self. It reminds me alot of seeing Pontiac killed off. It was a great brand that made some legendary cars but like most things that Mystique GM touches, it eventually withers and dies. Kudos to Ford Australia for tweeting a very classy farewell,…
