Wow, I guess I've been missing all kinds of mature dialogue here.

I don't really know what you're talking about but I think I like it.

"All of us here at Jalopnik have worked our asses off to be seen as a journalistic endeavor, casting aside establishment perceptions of internet journalists as nothing more than a pack of illiterate, chattering Internet gibbons. We like to think we're proven, hardened journalists who've broken stories of corporate greed, automaker safety problems, and the successes of building good cars and trucks."
Yeah, right. Nice try. Keep tooting your own horn.
"If you're going to call out a fellow journalist about a conflict of interest, why not go out of your way – if you respect him, his peers or his outlet – to drop the editor a line, ask what's up and then report on how the situation was handled?"
My sentiments exactly.

I can't seem to post a comment of my own, so I'll try posting it as a response here. Good comment by the way.

Hey Spinelli, you're probably right that what Jeff did was a conflict of interest, but the way you called him out on it in public like this is a bit low, even for Jalopnik. You've effectively cost him his job over something that should've been between him and his boss. And the way you've written this up makes it sound like a trashy gossip article rather than a car blog.

I'll come out of my commenting semi-retirement here to also call bullshit on GM. I definitely can't afford a new car right now, but I'd at least look at an El Camino if it was available. I'd rather have a 5-door wagon on the Monaro platform (with a manual, natch) but truck-cars are cool too.

Oh, and the new Gawker format sucks. That is all.

Thanks for all the wonderful writing, the spray-painted t-shirt, the LeMons kickbacks, and for generally being a classy lady. Maybe I'll have to get around to buying your first book so I can get my Murilee fix.

Keep on truckin'
Discontinuuity

PS: I'll probably have to change my handle on here again, maybe to something Orosz-centric? We'll see Monday.

@FromaBuick6: Now with more 5.0: I did driver's ed in an automatic PT Cruiser, which is basically a heavier, slower Neon with worse visibility. Merging onto the highway was quite a challenge, as was parking.

My dad's '86 Accord, which I learned manual on, was infinitely better in every way I can think of.

@LandofMinos. Wonders why F1 has a garden gnome walking around shaking hands before each race: I see him offering up a choice between 20 different variations of the Nissan Skyline.

@Bad Juju and the Axle Tramps: Looks like fun. Is that a solid go-kart axle?

What a wonderful collection of extremity-mangling hardware.

That M&M logo reminds me of my school's mountain monogram:

There's a similarly-awesome Volvo junkyard and repair shop on Lipan, near then Breckenridge brewery.
