Used to do Jalopnik Detroit when that was a thing. Now just kinda here and there.

Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams. Read more

Now playing

Can't forget Mercy: "Lamborghini, Mercy./Your chick she so thirsty. I'm in that two-seat Lambo and your girl she trynna jerk me." Also, not specific, but this line from 2 Chainz: "Rain. Pourin'. All my cars is foreign."

Those commercials were kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. Everyone knew GM shit the bed with their mid '80s downsizing - even GM, as evidenced by how quickly they attempted to add extra length to the Cadillacs after a few years by sort of stretching the front a bit. Read more

When it comes to a car commercial, most of the point is to make people aware that a car exists and give them any reason to investigate further. Chances are that you aren't going to convince someone to spend $15-100K on a car they had otherwise not heard of from one spot. In that regard, clearly these commercials are Read more

Meh. Still not as good as the ads he did for the Dodge Stratus.

Another excellent article Aaron. The News article was one of the best I have read on Detroit. I thank you for the insightful, in depth articles you publish. Read more

I live not far from where this took place. When there's cars parked on both sides, there's only room for one car to go through, and you can barely see the sidewalks. Read more

Thats it. Instead of yelling I am going to start deploying spike strips !!!!

That was uncalled for. Just because you're in a car that doesn't give you the right to speed anywhere. Especially if there is kids playing in the area. Being a father myself, I would've done the same thing and yelled at the driver. Read more

I'm sure there may be more details since it's just one side of the story, but horrible none the less. I just don't know why people have to get violent over what people say. What has society come to where this seems like an acceptable option? Read more

I'm quickly becoming a Kia fanboy. I like that they plan to add an EV option to the Soul, rather than creating some vanilla hatchback just because of a low coefficient of drag. The Soul is a great looking car and has a very useful interior space. The length of my commute makes an EV impractical, but I'd prefer this Read more

The Czech Stop in West, TX has gas right? If not, Woody's Smokehouse in Centerville, TX. It takes forever to drive across Texas so it makes sense for gas stations to have good food when they are the only reason to stop in most towns. Read more
