Title is self-explanatory.

I feel pretty down this week. Post Puffalumps.

Stef you won’t get details about upcoming cars by shoving microphones into faces. You need to build a rapport with your sources.

Hopefully you feel better soon. Get some brisket.

Why do I turn off ad blockers on jalopnik dot com if Patrick isn’t going to send you to the Los Angeles Auto Show?

No puffalumps here, but Bear says hi.

Also, we got to the 24 cafe for brunch. It was fab, so thanks!

He sent other people!!! They’re licking the cars on my behalf. Maybe. Maybe not, since I proved licking cars tastes bad that one time. You get what I mean.

TBH, I’d probably just screw it up like everything else I’ve touched this week. I’ve been feeling pretty worthless. I don’t know how to dig out of that and not feel worthless, but here I am.

You produce great reporting and don’t misspell Alfa on Car of the Year announcements. That’s not worthless.

I’m only posting a Juke since Nissan is taking a great thing away.

(That’s Jack Baruth driving a manual fwd Juke at Sebring for an article at TTAC)

I misspell other stuff, though, and I haven’t been able to write as much as I know I should lately because I’m just down, exhausted and don’t know what to do with that beyond sink into an extremely bleak depression hole, and not be able to get any sleep, apparently.

Heckin’ to the yesies. Track all the Jukes.

The future of regular USDM cars looks pretty depressing, not going to lie. Never drove the Juke, but I appreciated that it existed.

You’re right it is a type 3! Probably a 1600 squareback.

Is it bad that I’m starting to think Puffalumps is starting to look like you?

Good Chicken. Good Dino-Roar.

I hope it’s not the other way around, but it sure does feel like it lately!

Also, my userpic is actually a Puffalump.

Dino-Roar, the host of The DFL Show, is slowly growing on me.

Yeah. It’s complicated, though.

Weirdly, a couple folks I knew through autocross were the biggest complainers about that Miata piece last year, and well, you know how nasty that got. Somehow, a few people took an article about the wider cult of a car and all the reasons why I decided it wasn’t for me personally, and then got super-personal with insults back at me. (Never mind that nearly everyone rags my cars all the time, but apparently can’t take being on the receiving end. Or that I’m pretty supportive of driving whatever the hell you want, as the wider body of my work is all about that. But I digress!!!)

I can’t hold a couple toxic folks against the wider group, but I also don’t want to even be around folks who let loose with what they apparently really thought of me when they had the chance. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

I do suck at autocross, though, and would love to do it more, but...IDK.

IDK. I’m hoping to catch up some on longer projects/rest this weekend, maybe, hopefully.

Hopefully you can accomplish what you need to! At least you always have Oppo if you need cheering up!

Shit Stef, I’m sorry to hear that. Fortunately I’ve never had to encounter that besides being called, “Literally Hitler (personal favorite considering my Jewish heritage)“ and others a few times on here for moderating people who proved that they didn’t belong. But don’t worry about what those assbags say, because they really are just jealous fucks. Also remember that you have friends here and elsewhere.

Yep. Also, we’ve got the good cars.

True story: I actually wondered if I squoaaaar’d the squaoooor too much the first time the Dino-Roar was nearby while recording. Then someone complained about it and I squaaaaoooor’d extra the next time. ENJOY YOUR FREE PODCAST.

I am now saving the squaaaoooorrr powers for when it’s most effective, though.

I can put a word in, but he does what he wants!

(Hopefully Jalopnik staff aren’t to annoyed with him)

There’s some things about the show that have been annoying in the past, like Pat’s audio levels being wayyyyy too high and Eric’s idea of what is and isn’t a Touring Car, but Dino-Roar is certainly not one of them.

Also, tell him not to take our beautiful F1 red cars away. They are.......the right color.
