Hi there, I'm Stef Schrader, and today I put my $5 Winnie The Pooh toy on the 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwa- what do you mean I can't!? It's a Jalopnik tradition! Get your hands off me you misogynist pigs!

I'm a woman and I constantly write about being a woman despite not wanting to be treated differently. I'm so cool. Look at how many nice cars I have that are decrepit and falling apart in my back yard. Look guys, I'm one of the boys but I'm a woman. If you don't like this you're a misogynist.

To be fair, it's clickbait. The point is to get the most people to click by appealing to their views. People interested in cars are interested in high end cars with loud engines and no technology inside them, so they give them that. People on the internet are drawn to little animated shit so they serve them moving images.
If they calculated that the average person from their potential viewerbase is a guy in his late 20s, either driving a miata or dreaming of buying one, scolding anything that doesn't have a clutch pedal, dreaming of owning a porsche or any other desirable car with a reasonable price tag, interested in having a project car to work on and fix (without never actually doing so - it's easier to watch people on the internet do that), enjoying shows for brain dead people and capable of spending 10 minutes watching a gif that loops well, the writers will make shit that panders to this demographic. Basically any piece praising any modern tech is likely to be paid by a manufacturer, either directly or through advertising.

jalopnik is clickbait with a mission though. they circle jerk about all that shit, but ultimately they're desperately commercial. you can see this in their constant apologism for crossovers ("they're just tall wagons guize") and the like.

I found a thread made this week that seriously questioned, out of a choice of two possible options, whether people would own their dream car but would have to have a 1:43 version of it lodged in their rectum at all times. A disproportionate number of people picked this choice. If anyone could archive/screencap it would be much appreciated.

FUCK JALOPNIK
AND FUCK MILLENNIALS
>But only a fool would begrudge anyone driving a little drop top boring. Sure, it wasn’t the best car available, but it didn’t have to be! The roof folded away, the wind blew in your hair, and the engine buzzed away happily around you.
http://jalopnik.com/only-a-fool-or-a-miscreant-hates-the-2017-boring-124-spid-1743280763
I love (hate) seeing this faggot try to write about shit he doesn't understand. It makes me so fucking buttmad to see this faggot spout off about how the original 124 was good because it was a convertible. Is this how retarded millennials are? Is this all it takes to sell them something. Because racecar, because convertible, because turbo… really are we this fucking stupid now?
The original 124 sport spider was a great car because it was designed from the ground up to be better than the sum of its parts. It was designed to be Ferrari like in its dynamics but much more affordable. It was designed to be happiness in car form, a little friend whose favorite place was to be whipping through the countryside. It was all the things that modern cars have lost.
This is the standard the new 124 must be judged against. The original was not twitchy for the sake of perceived sportiness. The original had a motor designed by the head of engine development for Ferrari, it was not compromised for the sake of cost. The original was incredibly easy for the home mechanic to maintain.
FUCK GOD DAMNED 20 FUCKING 15 WHERE BRAIN DAMAGE IS THE NEW NORMAL.
