I love how multiple people keep asking "why do WE hate Jalopnik again?"

Wow, that's a big glass house they are launching stones from. If you are going to criticize another site, at least keep your internal bickering to a minimum. They are obviously very well read on Jalopnik. Who's Matt again?

They just can't handle anything outside of their stance-bro hugbox, their hate is understandable.

I have lots of issues with the way things run on the FP, but VWVortex is literally the last website in the world that's allowed to criticize or dislike anything. That is the worst little slice of hell on the internet.

I spend a lot of time over there, and often share stuff back and forth. I've already contributed to it.

I don't understand why some of those guys hate Jalopnik to much.

McMike has things there. Things he hasn't shared with us here. Like a thread full of Danzig fanart .

Maybe it can be third, but first is 4chan and then Gawker.

Oh and I figured out why they hate Chris Harris (for the handful who know who he is). They see him as the guy that drifts cars. You can't drift FWD. :)

(I have a FoST, I know you can lift-throttle-oversteer FWD, I've done it)

"Chris Harris was never about handling. He is about pointless drifting."

He is "about" incredible car control paired with finely nuanced opinions about motorcars and a great sense of humor.

I unfortunately own a mk4 and just today I "left" the BurnAllTheMk4s fb group because I could not stand what was being posted there

Are you sure it's not all? I'm pretty sure that's what the vortex says in it's forum registration rules. Then again, I always did struggle with their pronouns.

All this just makes me saddened by the VW community online. I guess it is the audience attracted to them. I have looked around for something in person but most of the local stuff is all air cooled and while I am sure I would be welcomed by them, i would still feel like i would be imposing.

Because the entirely of the world automotive enthusiast community hates the Vortex.

Vortexer 1: "I don't even know who Chris Harris is, so..."

Vortexer 2: "He's a whole new thing."

*slow clap*

edit: I'm enjoying this a little too much. Also this exists...
