    Well, before everyone gets too wound up about corrupting the purity and innocence of a thirteen year within the realm of Jalopnik, a quick review of the MarketPlace ads in the back of the current issue of Car and Driver reveals ads for:

    -- Penis enlargement

    -- Viagra - Cialis - Levitra

    -- Pheromone-laced aftershave promising to increase your sex appeal

    ...and some website entitled "Charm Her Socks Off.com", along with lots of T&A teasing photos. At least the "mature audience" aspect that occasionally crops up here isn't trying to dun anyone out of money...

    Nuts, I hadn't thought about kids reading this page. For that reason alone I'll clean up my language choice.

    @Unevolved: Well, when you consider what other stuff he could be into, I'd say Jalopnik.com is hands down better for him than a lot of the alternatives. When I was his age, I seem to remember certain publications that I was not supposed to be reading that I spent too much time on.


    Like 'Hot Rod' and 'Popular Science' and anything else that an old guy named Smokey Yunick had articles in.


    Stick with it, Andrew. Mr. Wes is right.

    That was awesome not only for the qualitative analysis - good call on the smell - but because it makes me remember so vividly how I used to evaluate cars all those years ago.


    Well, not that many years.

    Cool, Andrew! Thanks for writing. I never realized this site had many younger readers.


    PS: Be sure to tell your mom that this site never posts bad words or anything about "booth babes". Alt-F4 closes down the page immediately--way faster than the mouse! That might save you from getting in trouble over some of the pics that Brazil Reporter posts.

    Glad you mentioned the smell aspect, Andrew.


    The 2009 Kia range smells bad.

    @Rust-MyEnemy 20v Turbo: Holy hell!! I've always held (well, openly shared too) the opinion that all Kia smell like they were made from cat skin, soaked in formaldehyde...


    Best way I can express it.

    @Rust-MyEnemy 20v Turbo: Our '01 New Beetle smells like crayons. Older VWs (German-built, mostly) have their own smell, too, but I have trouble describing it.

    I just remembered that Detroit Auto Show hasn't happened yet. With all those manufacturers pulling out, somehow my mind thought it was done already. Pah.

    Can we just choose the Genesis and Jetta as Cars of the Year, and ignore these bloated dick-waving trucks and this jacked-up station wagon entirely?
