I miss the original Jalopnik, when it was just one dude who loved crazy old cars, and he just posted the greatest photos and rambling content about shops he visited, cars he saw on the road, and Coop's art.

It was the last of the great "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I do it really well" blogs.

And then Gawker bought the name and turned it into ... shit. "Ford told us to post this photo, so here is your ridiculously awesome Ford Mondeo wallpaper!"

Gak.

Cheezburger buys things and makes them suck. Gawker bought things and made them evil.
