East LA would be MS13.

This is getting crazy. Everywhere I go people are shouting UDMan. I know that already, I just don't know why they keep shouting it. Whatever, let's get back to my super-sleuth detective work. Pleco, who's full name I can't reveal (I'll give you a hint, he places his trust in hoons), has been hanging around with pauljones-Jo Schmo's saintly and opposite twin. Now they're a bunch of lightweights, but still, all in all, nice guys. The problem they came to me with is that they managed to rub a gang the wrong way. I mean some real Cognitive Friction. Dr Danger and the Masters of the Jalopniverse are searching high and low for these guys and I got to somehow diffuse the situation. Apparently they were injecting SpeedWagon, got hooked, started jonesin' and because they're broke and tool around in a Saturn, they were forced to rob Dr. Danger's stash to get a fix. Anyway, they ditched the Saturn and started cruising in a veedubu, smart move, but they'll need to make many more if they don't want to get killed by Dr Danger's Asian hitmen, "Tanshanomi" and "AdamHoang." All this sh*t is going on and still my assistant Novaload Misses Murilee. And he had her dead in his sights. He claims that he would have hit an innocent bystander as well. Personally, I don't care for innocent bystanders, or hyper-milers for that matter. I'll be back soon, leave a message. I'm gone fishin' with eggwich del fiero.

It will also very likely be COTD.

Maybe it's the fact that I'm feeling sick, or that I have a midterm dealing Laplace transformation and Fourier series, or that I still have to complete a lab report that was due on Monday, or maybe it simply has to do with the fact that my name is Pessimippopotamus.
No one messes with my endurance race posts.

Mr. cannoli: You do realize that that statements about Pete Gaines peeing sitting down might be counterproductive in your quest for a star, right?

Not wishing to be a nuisance to Jalopnik, the Jalopnik Commentariat, or the editorial staff, consider the threadjacks over.
As far as Pete Gaines, he ribbed me in another post, I was just ribbing him back.

I think most of us are enjoying the story. It's a good read. I just have my concerns about the copycat contingent.

I don't want to be banned. I have decided the only way I'll continue is if the site moderators give me permission.

I found it amusing.
I was a little uncertain about the chapter with Leeena in it, but she seemed to find it amusing as well, so whatever. It may have had nothing to do with cars, but I think that it had everything to do with Jalopnik, as we, the commenters, are what make Jalopnik what it is, and he was having fun making a play of our names.
And yes, there will invariably be copycats. That's how so many of our memes came to be. And you know what? I, too, am guilty of copy-catting. Someone once won a COTD for a song adaptation, and then everyone else starting popping out with them, myself included. Oh well. As long as its fun.
But I thought that what the guy did took a fair bit of creativity, and I give him due credit for that, regardless of whether or not it is deemed COTD worthy.
Now we have the poor guy afraid that he is going to get banned. I don't dare guess or comment about that, as it is not my standards that run this site, except to say that I feel bad for being the cause of this with my above comment.
I'm sorry for that.
But, sometimes, I just can't help but wonder why I open my mouth. My above comment and this comment are examples.

I'm still laughing that they took the car shadow out of the pictures and just left the camera

If he had followed his satnav he'd have been in the kitty litter by turn 2.
