Holy crap, congrats on the contract win! Here’s hoping it ensures you guys can do what you’re good at with fairer treatment from the higher-ups.

Ah yes, the man who was crazy enough to let me write about my 944 IN PRINT is Getting/Out. Congratulations! I’ve spun “Can I write about the Porschelump?” into a periodically recurring thing, all thanks to Autoweek giving me a shot at it a long, long time ago.

Not gonna lie, I really, really want a sorta-beat-up G-wagen to off-road the snot out of. Just publicly shame at all the regular Gs around town that never see dirt. Bonus points if it’s a Puch G for the extra U.S. confusion factor.

Well, we’re readers, too, and I was a comment section troll long before I worked here. This is just me returning to form.

Ah! Yes, yes, then. I want to see who else in the automotive world has a soft spot for GWAR!

I’m pretty happy where I am on that front. Besides, I already posted songs about pee and farts on here.

If we don’t see a) a diesel Chrysler minivan ‘Ring time and b) Jason actually trying Apollo-style pooping **in space** come out of this, I’m disowning you both.

Helllllllla late comment, but y’all need to bring back Traffic Jams. I miss seeing how weird (or not........hello, Patrick) everyone’s musical tastes are.

Seriously. I’m so tired of having MY rights to move freely and enjoy things without getting sick abridged by covidiots.

Level of surprise that the same gross people sell an “it’s okay to be white” shirt: 0.
