That’s right! It’s been 20 years since Jalopnik first hit the internet, and in all that time we’ve managed to avoid getting our own Wikipedia page. But who’s bitter?
Yes, the forgotten red-headed stepchild of not just Gawker, not just Gizmodo, but the entire auto enthusiast news industry is made of powerful stuff. We are all survivors. In the event of nuclear war, Earth would be ruled by cockroaches who read the latest posts written in our underground editorial vaults in [REDACTED].
Over the years, great writers have graced these hallowed pages. On that most sacred of holidays (at least for a union shop) Labor Day, we’re giving our regular crew a break to revisit some of our favorite Jalopnik moments from the past two decades.
Many of these stories are very old. Some are old enough to be voted down. They come from a different era of the internet, so be prepared for missing images, broken links, and outdated language. It wouldn’t be Jalopnik Classic without some weird Kinja issues and inappropriate humor, right?
We are so grateful to have shared all these special moments with you and to have been a small part in bringing joy or information to your lives. We hope to be able to do so for another 20 years.
So join me, will you? In this re-visit of the adventures of people like Ray Wert, Neal Pollack, Patrick George, Alanis King, and the always great Jason Torchnisky and David Tracy. If you have some suggestions for your own favorite Jalopnik moments, let us know in the comments! Jalopnik is always about talking to our readers.
