The cost to the manufacturer on that stuff can go deep into the millions for even a single variant, and that’s assuming there isn’t anything to fix.… Read more

I don’t know how to take that. Thanks? Read more

And now I feel like a total ass because I totally missed where two other people very kindly recommended the same stuff. AND said really nice things about me. You guys are really nice. I am an ass. Read more

God, how did I miss the energy-drink thing? That's fucking genius. Read more

"Candy-eating Alfred E. Neuman motherfucker" is the best compliment I've ever received. Thanks, Matt. At the risk of sounding like a smoke-blowing asshole, I'm honored to have been a part of this place. Working here genuinely realigned how I think.

(Especially that time where I put a Gulf Blue ______ in a ______ while ______ with ______.) She had far more patience with me than I… Read more

Yes. My colon is still angry. Read more

Well, neither Krewson nor I have worked for the Jalop in years, but... it's nice to know you've been paying attention. Gold star. Read more

Candy > Not Candy Read more

That is one hell of a good comment. And that's all I've got to say about that. Read more

Yes, that's me: DeVito: short, bald, waddles. (Or not. I say Charlie Day and YOU get DeVito. It's Always Sunny in Gawkerdelphia.) Read more

Allow me to be more specific: New cars that appeared at Chicago before appearing anywhere else, Captain Sarcasm. There will be no debuts at the Greater Cleveland Auto Show.
