I feel like there is an experiment going on at Jalopnik right now, to see who can get the most views/comments by simply asking questions like: show us your most popular automotive opinion, Tell us something we don't know, etc. This was kicked off by the "two tone paint" thing, which...although a valid article... seemed to get such a strong reaction that its now being used as a beta formula.
In which case in an act of solidarity I'm following suit, with this post which I will now turn into:
Tell us the next easy crowd sourced comment bait Jalopnik will post?
Small wheels are outdated and stupid, here's why.
What is your least favorite wheel?
Mountain Dew is the only appropriate drink for a Subaru owner.
Take it away folks!

I should point out that that I know coming up with daily stuff is actually quite a challenge and that this is really a lighthearted jab/tongue and cheek and not any kind of real criticism. I like those FP boys and girls and what they do over there.

Slamming and stancing is ridiculous/awesome!!!
BTW, nice job making people think you were going to lecture them about post quality, then instead creating just such a post.

I'm also quite aware that there are influences for producing this type of content at gawker...but I don't want to make this a political thing. However given that Oppo contributes about a 1/10 of the oppo content on the weekdays and about 1/4 on the weekends, I feel like we are entitled to poke fun here and there.

Its less for them and more for oppo. I don't like FP bitching with the kind of bile I've seen here before. just making a stand on the fun side of the line.

That doesn't feel like a question or an article....hmmm...im not sure you've got the idea here.

Much like this .gif......context is not really needed in Oppo....that's why it exists. Sometimes cars, sometimes music, sometimes real content and sometimes, it's just dog shit.

Generally speaking your right, but I think there is still a place for the naturally aspirated small car engine.

Why do you people always complain about Porsche, anyway? It's not like any of you can afford them.

I trash talked performance/luxury wagons. I had 1 or 2 people agree with me and it's turned into a name calling shitfest from people that don't appear to own either a wagon or a nice car.

I think you mean Dewitos. Gosh man, get with the this-week-on-the-internet times.

I honestly thought Dewitos was a joke...and still not convinced that it isn't. I mean I know its really out there, I just wonder if it was a bad joke that happened to get picked up and green-lit by some clueless exec.

I think it's probably a genius viral marketing scheme. I mean look at all the people giving free air time and column inches to Mountain Dew and Doritos haha.
It's like the McRib, ol' Ronald brings it back just long enough to build tons of hype and get a bunch of free advertising, and then they stop serving it just before everyone remembers it kinda tastes like feet.

I think you hit the nail on the head. On the other hand, I can't believe that the Doritos tacos became a thing....a well received thing. For me and my dew, its green or GTFO.

The thing I'll never understand about people, is their insistence that everybody must agree with them, and everybody who doesn't is an idiot, and needs to know they're an idiot. The internet brings this out loud and clear, but I find people do it face to face too. It's stupid, we don't all have to agree. I love performance wagons, even though I know they're stupid. I might even like them BECAUSE they're stupid. But I have zero shits to give about what somebody else thinks about them.

Should Oppo produce all the Oppo content?
![]() 11/12/2014 at 14:29 |

it should. (its doesn't oddly) but I meant Oppos - Jalopnik.

- Small wheels are a good thing. The tires are less expensive, they ride better than larger wheel alternatives, the are more durable than larger wheels (low profile tires), etc.
- My least favorite wheel is that one.
- I have no opinion of Mountain Dew consumption and Subaru ownership.
