Kinja'd!!!

This is the most click-baity title this article could have used. The car is crazy expensive to begin with! Depreciation happens as a percentage! The car actually depreciated at a similar (or lower!) percentage rate as most luxury vehicles do, but that isn’t enough click bait for him I guess...

Doug has it made. I feel sorry for the other contributers on the site. They’re stuck reviewing shitty German vans.

I mean he’s a hack. Really the other guys deserve the good assignments. But you know how little patience I have for his attention-seeking, clickbait style writing.

I like Tyler Hoover. He’s the one with the 248k mile 996. I think his vehicles, and the fact he actually does stuff with them, entertaining. Doug gets to test drive cool vehicles, but there’s nothing more than that. They’re fluff pieces at best. You can only write so many “This is why ___ is worth ___” or “Autotrader Finds” before I lose interest.

I would be quite happy if Hoover came to the Jalopnik family. His articles about his time in the used car dealerships industry are entertaining, and his vehicles are weird. I think he’d fit right in.

I honestly didn’t think he was allowed to write on Jalopnik after Autotrader gave him a column.

Well, I was pretty sure I read an article written by him last night but now I can’t find it.

Sometimes they throw some old shit the related stories. Could that be it?

Probably so. I hate this non-chronological crap sites are doing now.

In his videos he always says. “To read more of my thoughts on X go to autotrader.com/oversteer.” Every single video.

I thought I was alone in my dislike for him...you are very right, he’s a hack. I’m glad he’s no longer a contributor here.

Every once in a while one of his old articles gets shared. I think you saw the “what it cost to own a Ferrari for a year”
