The “Kinja Commerce team” probably won’t try get to us. With their sponsored posts, video ads, giant banners and other nonsense.
Side note: I sorta want a WRX, white Oakleys, a Monster flat bill hat and one of those douchebag shirts.

I requested a Vegas hotel and a Maserati Ghibli, all I got was some vending machine sushi and a Mitsubishi Mirage.

There’s a post out there, which I’m too lazy to find. All in all, some dickheads ruined it for everybody.

It had to have been pretty serious for Oppo to just be jettisoned into the unknown.

Just from what I’ve read they tried to say they were a journalist for Jalopnik to get special test drives but was just one of us on Oppo. People have also bitched at jalopnik for us oppos using photos and shit without permission but it’s just a blog and they tried to hold jalopnik responsible

I feel like after so many years of nibbles and redesigns we are kind of set free. If we don’t get much advertising I will be happy.

That is true. It’s probably been either a buildup of events, or just a decision that was randomly recently made. I still can’t find that one post and it’s starting to bother me now actually.

If I’m not mistaken (I might be) I think all sub-blogs went from .whateverthemainsiteis to .kinja. In our case with Oppositelock it might’ve been more necessary since some people were being idiots.

I wear an Aussie cowboy hat (Barmah) in my WRX. I think it confuses some folks... I dunno.
I’m just glad Oppo wasn’t shut down.

Yeah I found it... though the whole “requesting cars claiming to work for Jalopnik” thing seems to absolutely dwarf the other issues in terms of severity.

*cough*IDRIVEACLS63AMG*cough**cough* probably had said he was a writer for Jalopnik elsewhere on the Internet. ;-P

Oh, whatever. Jalopnik is full of sexist, homophobic, racist shitlords anyway.

Well, there is a lot of material that I would consider “touchy” or “edgy.”
All in all, I’ve been noticing Jalopnik decline since I started reading a few years ago. There’s certain writers who are extremely biased on their personal opinions and make no hesitation to make that know and I make no hesitation to let them know.
I miss a lot of the former authors though.
But especially on other Kinja sites, there is a lot of edgy shit that goes way beyond normal stuff.

It’s a blog, not an NPR news show. Opinions and agendas come with the territory.
Also, “edgy” is just a code word for bigoted asshole.
