Over my many years if aimlessly browsing car sites, I've found patterns in the comments. Here's a quick how-to on how to comment on certain sites.

Autoblog:

1. Provide comments of absolutely no value to the discussion.

2. If the article involves GM, say Government Motors and mention Obama as much as possible.

3. Mention Obama as much as possible.

4. Be generally 14.

5. Open multiple accounts to repeatedly troll.

Jalopnik:

1. Malign the lack of a manual in everything.

2. Malign the lack of a diesel in everything.

3. Malign the lack of brown in everything.

4. Malign the lack of wagons.

5. Never actually buy the car you crave when it's actually built.

The Truth About Cars:

1. Nobody actually goes to TTAC.

On Any Site:

1. Talk about how X brand has lost their way for Y reason.

2. Talk about how awesome you are for owning X car.

3. Talk about how if manufacturer X would just build a manual, stick, wagon, with no A/C, they'd sell like hotcakes.

For TTAC, complain how every manufacturer sucks in reliability compared to Honda or Toyota.

Answer Miata for everything, including the question, "What car that isn't a Miata...?"

+100000000000 for the jalopnik one.

The lotus strategy of having an entire lineup of manual transmission race cars does NOT work - just ask lotus how their bottom line is doing these days.

Omg. Very suggestion. Much forgotten.

Side note, I saw the Jayhawks game on TV yesterday and instantly thought of you.

I'm touched. Hopefully you imagined me yelling and throwing things, because that would be most accurate
