10 Reasons Car Scoops Thinks Jalopnik Sucks

1. I won't even watch this video, because I already know its stupid.Of course Modena is not ur everyday car, it's sportscar. Very low, wide, loud and rough, only 2 seats... It's like 2+2.

2. Stop posting stupid videos, please.

3. "When asked "What car would you buy if you could afford it?" I bet nine out of 10 would answer "a Ferrari" without hesitating for a nanosecond. " I don't think so.

4. Such a stupid video. Ferrari is a sportscar, not an everyday car... Everybody knows that.... lame.

5. I didn't even bother reading the article or watch the clip, just like I didn't bother to read it on Jalopnik. Morons like De Muro are the reason why I read Carscoop instead of Jalopnik.

6. I'm already aggravated by him. I hope this is a sarcasm and cynical approach and not actual issues. When you buy a car, you buy the car for yourself.

7. Rich people problems.

8. I cannot stand this guy. He has made probably 30 posts talking about this car in the year since he bought it.

9. All these godawful videos are are just one gigantic excuse for him to brag about the fact that he (likely) financed one of the cheapest Ferraris you can buy.

and finally, the number 1 (10) reason Car Scoops Thinks Jalopnik Sucks:

I don't see any indication in that article that points to Carscoops hating Jalopnik.

You're not enthusiastic enough.

Read the context clues. Subtext. Read below the surface.

If the commenters have nothing to do with the website why does everyone try to fit in so badly around here?

Raphmoe, everyone knows I am the biggest bitch around here when it comes to Doug's Ferrari articles, but even I have come to the realization that I actually enjoy the content as annoying as it can be. I am not one to begrudge someone who wants to daily something that is in effect, a big expensive dong extension (one that doesn't work for much either), but he is a good writer, and his other posts are worth the drivel. Just let it be man.

1. I have no sense of humor.

2. I take myself way to seriously.

3. I think anyone who doesn't take themselves to seriously is stupid.

4. I have no sense of humor.

5. Sarcasm is a foreign term to me.

6. I get really angry about things that don't really matter.

7. I have no sense of humor.

8. See above.

9. I'm an Internet commenter, I hate everything.

10. See number 5.

well, not every Jalopnik writer can be as good as the others; if someone was in charge of the site then maybe it would make more sense.

I'm not arguing any of that. My statement was and shall remain that this list is not a series of gripes held against Jalopnik as a whole. But rather merely a list of why some one dislikes Doug..

These guys seem to miss the point completely.

Sure, Demuro is not the best writer (he doesnt have to be), but his articles have a few good points.

1. You could DD a sports car, have fun and not regret it.

2. It is reasonably practical.

3. It is not out of reach for people who like cars and are relatively financially stable.

4. It keeps the dream alive for some people who are thinking about it.

Yet you also said CCC is shit because it allows people who don't have the money to own these cars to be able to take them out for weekend drives or whatever else they're looking for. So, go buy your own suitable DD exotic car, and show us better!

My SL600 Sport puked a tensioner pulley when I left a C&C yesterday morning. It's in the shop now getting fixed. Made one hell of a bang! I'd say it's slightly more practical than Doug's 360, but also has a lot more motor, so that practicality is brought down by gas mileage (sort of).

Raphmoe > JGrabowMSt
11/24/2014 at 17:37

huh?

This list is direct quotes from Car Scoops and does not reflect the opinion of Raphmoe.

I think it very accurately reflects the feelings of Raphmoe.

Raphmoe > JGrabowMSt
11/24/2014 at 17:41

Why?

JGrabowMSt > Raphmoe
11/24/2014 at 17:49

Because for some reason unbeknownst to myself and I'm sure many other people, you have very strong feelings for people who outwardly display having more money and the ability to buy more expensive things and use them often. You hate CCC, for some silly reason that only you fully understand....

I mean, the whole article is about why DD'ing a Ferrari isn't practical, yet you feel the need to spin that towards Jalopnik....

Raphmoe > JGrabowMSt
11/24/2014 at 17:54

Did you read the comments in the linked article?

I do not hate CCC at all. It is a great rental car service and place to hang out if you can afford; not everyone can. This is a fact of life.

Please work on your reading comprehension and actually read what I say instead of making up your own narrative based on nothing I have said.

JGrabowMSt > Raphmoe
11/24/2014 at 17:55

I don't care about the linked article, that's certainly not how you were responding to me the last time you decided to put words in sentences about CCC.

Raphmoe > JGrabowMSt

The link is in my post to "read more here".

He is the most important member of Jalopnik, officially. He occasionally writes articles and converses with 'us'. He is a nice man, though he is not perfect, as no one is.

Nothing was plagiarized.

I linked to the source.

You need a dictionary or at least a better grasp of the english language because you use words out of context and it is very confusing.

JGrabowMSt > Raphmoe

You linked the source but lacked a single set of quotation marks.
