...I'm grey on the Front page. Reading the comments is a nightmare. Its such a shit show on some articles. In glad it usually isnt like that here. Everyone is so opinionated and doesn't care how much of a Douche they look like in conveying their opinion.

I was grey earlier and it went away. I assume you are still followed by Jalopnik?

The ones I hate most are when people (usually Opponaunts) share stuff about their personal vehicles, and then people trash talk that car or ask why on earth someone would want that. Yes, we know you don't like it. But you don't have to be an ass and tell someone they are wrong and stupid for buying a car you don't like.

I hate that too. I also hate how adamite people are about how 'shitty' GM is and how they're evil for killing people. Its like GM purposefully killed them. People don't take into effect what those people where doing when they died like driving drunk, texting, not wearing a seat belt. Its this ignorance and readiness to just blame the "big evil corportion" than use common sense. I'm not saying GM has no blame but its not entirely their fault. As someone who grew up with GM products it just pisses me off as I've always liked them. Yeah you might not but still. I like all of the big 3 and I don't really have a preference between any.
Sorry for the novel but I needed to vent.

Ok well the whole thing changed with the rape gifs and when they changed it they made everyone who isn't followed by Jalopnik Grey on the front page again. I wasn't followed but got followed and got out of the grey but earlier today I responded to a grey comment and became grey again even though I was still followed. Kinja has been super shitty today.

Im still grey because I've only been here since around the beginning if June. Too new to really be followed by Jalopnik.

Yeah, I'm one of the rare that didn't lurk before becoming an author.

Most of the GM stuff is ok, but its very easy to take too far. I'm very cautious when I get into GM Conversations

Just keep in mind that the part in question cost's 10 cents. Let that sink in. Also they had to recall 30 million cars, 95% of what they've sold since 1999(?). On top of all that, their quality is so lackluster, they just had to recall one of their recalls. I used to be a GM person, now I wouldn't buy one after the year 1999, even if I got a killer deal. Even then, I would probably spend more, just to get something else if the GM product did not have an Atlas engine.

You still can't blame just the manufacturer and not take into account to what the state of the person driving was at the time. Also no manufacturer of any product is perfect either. Many companies had issues, yes not this big, but still have had sizeable recalls.

Yes, but this isn't the first time GM has pulled this. Also, you can't pull their state of mind in to this. They could have lived if they crashed an the airbags actually worked. Also, remember this problem was known of a few years before the car was produced. They knew someone could die, but they didn't think it was worth 10 fucking cents.
