    They should do a British version, but looking at the chart a couple of those descriptions seem to apply here!

    Japolnik writers: homophobic snobbish cavemen who think they are smarter and cooler than you.

    I was thinking about doing a piece on roadside litter.. I.e. crushed pack of malboros.. thrown out of some rednecks truck. Old flat tire.. fell off an old farmers tractor. Old road and track issue from 1985 with receipt from Hertz rental in Newark... thrown out of pinto by road and track editor.

    I applied for a job with Jalopnik, but they turned me down because I can write.

    I think at the time, it had to do with who could put up with Ray Wert.

    I'm friends with him on Facebook - not sure why, not sure how it happened. I've occasionally tagged him in something, or commented on something of his, but he never responds.

    The F150 one is stunningly accurate.

    I like our politicians more than Jalopnik.

    It's a satire. Pretty funny... don't be so thin skinned. It's what the rest of society thinks of Ferrari owners... who cares.

    I agree, I love satire - I think we all do. But Jalopnik seems to obsessed with only Ferrari satire. And to always be so anti-Ferrari; well, that's just weird.

    Yeah but that's "the Jalopnik reader".. A young male that has a car that he likes but doesn't love who doesn't think he will ever be able to afford a Ferrari and resents people that do. You know the type, the ones pissing into the car and putting it on YouTube and the guy that would scratch, key or dent your car if nobody was looking.

    Oh wait.. Did I just create a stereotype? ;)
