He wrote a lot of stuff for Jalopnik during their clickbaity phase and I could never make it past the titles. He also seems to still make boneheaded statements that get him called out by his "peers".

That car looks to be a winner in the tallest top hat competition.

Considering how often jalopnik used to pick up stories that related to something we were talking about, it wouldn't surprise me if he trolls the forum looking for interesting stuff. And the van is interesting.

Everything to do with the Rover and CarMax though, has been pretty much golden. To the point CarMax has made changes to their warranty policy with certain unreliable vehicles.

I saw he moved to AutoTrader from Jalopnik. As long as he doesn't ruffle any feathers in the sales department they will let him stay wacky. He's entertaining at least.
