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

I wish someone would actually publish PLPD and full coverage quotes on the vehicles he's been offered in his zip code. I worked for an insurance company in SE Mich over 10 years ago and our Detroit rates for auto were laughable. And by laughable, I mean we would routinely laugh OUT LOUD when we plugged in the zip Read more

I'm with you A-Foley, it's impractical for him to go drop a ton of money on a house. Read more

You know what would be great? A Jalopnik Detroit* article about this. Read more

Yes, yes "T-Shirt and panties", still one of the best. These singers today still can't touch the sexiness that song exudes. Read more

Detroit just put a lot of money into updating Cobo Hall. At least the carpeted front area is beautiful now, this is the atrium that overlooks the river.

Nice work by Mallory (there's a reason this woman's my girlfriend!) to call this to Jalopnik and Travis's attention. I would agree and say this is everything that's wrong with "automotive journalism," except I don't believe such a thing exists. Read more

THANK YOU. My Facebook thread on this got pretty long, but here's the gist of it for those I'm not friends with online. I'm not a journalist by background. I worked for years in the design industry before ever writing a word as a contributor. But I was shocked and disgusted once I got in to see that this ugliness is Read more

They have one, its worse.

Hi, Aaron. You darn youngster, you... Well, if you know me, then you know someone who's used Detroit City airport, and not just a little bit, either.

As a dream cruise fan who's made the 4 hour drive to participate 4 of the last 5 years, in happy to see car enthusiasts of all stripes participate. I hope the classic 50's and 60's cars remain visible, but I have no problem at all with imports and even modern muscle and Supercars. Read more

when you're in your teens and 20s, you'll fight over what is better (and it's always what you drive, unless you were me and you hated your car more than anyone else hated your car).... but still, as you get older, you like specific cars for specific reasons. So who cares if there are imports there? some people will Read more

Hey Aaron! I don't know why I never thought of this until now, but have you ever come to the car "meets" on Woodward the weekends before the cruise? Have anything worth taking? Read more

I'm fine with this, 27 and I'll be there w/ my SRT. Read more
