Thank, you that’s the point. We’re definitely taking a page from our friends at The Wirecutter. Read more

It’s my favorite, for sure, but that’s the point of these types of tests. We have the Jalopnik review, this is a chance go give advice to everyone. Advice you can give your mama or your cousin. Read more

You sure? I might pay for them: matt@jalopnik.com Read more

I'd maybe buy one. I'm possibly in the market soon and looking at a Renegade/CX-3/HR-V sized vehicle and the Santa Cruz would fit nicely. Plus, I miss having a truck in the family. Read more

I’ve known both, but most exotic car owners I’ve met are similar to what you describe. I have nothing against exotic car owners, quite the opposite. Read more

I’m not a huge fan of the Bullrun scene in particular. If people want to do it and they do it responsibly that’s their business, but historically the responsibility part has been lacking. I don’t know him personally, so I can only judge from his online/rally running persona, but to me the gaudy, throw-money-around… Read more

I don’t particularly care to have a front row seat into his lifestyle so... I don’t think there’s much of a loss. Read more

Last year, when they said it was weather, it seemed to have really been weather (as it improved so did sales). Read more

Didn't even consider it, but seems possible. If so that's hilarious. Read more

Everyone in the enthusiast media is a hypocrite and the best we can do is shorten the distance between what we describe and what we actually do/believe. We also aren't against all illegal activity. If you want to do a burnout in a safe way where the risk is only hurting yourself then fine, go do a burnout. If you get… Read more

Bolian would have had his 15 minutes somewhere else and, my fear was/is, that he'd have had it somewhere far less critical than here. Read more

I find it encouraging that much of the audience thinks we could go harder on this than we do. It used to feel like the audience generally felt we were too anti street racer. Read more

There were two big drafts of the story. The first one was a fairly straightforward "here's what this guy said he did" kind of piece. The one that got published (I begged for as much time as I could possibly get to report it out) provides a lot more context. Read more
