This is a Member’s Only Post, if you’d like to read about who the automaker in question is, if you’d like to read future “Exhaust Leak” stories about the auto journalism industry, please consider becoming a member right here. Regardless, we thank you for being here.
Your inability to recollect what you did in such a weird situation hits home. In hindsight the situation is even weirder, but I just roll with it and forget the details.
My wife and I attended the Electric Car Expo 2 years ago in Austin TX at Circuit of the Americas, and I drove a Pickman truck. Pretty sure it was CEO Joseph Chu repping the company at the expo. We even spoke fondly about Torch’s Jalopnik article.
Got to drive around in one a bit. Neat little trucks and would work great for a small ranch, farm, or even as a “slow moving vehicle” here in Texas if the speed is limited to 25 MPH.
They only invited you because…duh.
You can have spaghetti, or you can have a shower. What’s it gonna be, Boy? I can wait all night.
So, is it pronounced “pick-man,” kinda like Pac-Man, or “pick-mun,” kinda like Bricklin?
Bricklin! I remember being so impressed by it when I saw it the Bricklin’s SV-1 at the 1974 New York car show at (I think) the Coloseum. I was nine years old. It might have been the first car I ever saw in person with gull-wing doors.
Thanks for the memory Jeff! 🙂
Hey you spelled the name wrong only once. Congratulations! I wonder if the fancy pampered auto journalists skipped the event due to the lack of shrimp, accommodations, and directions? That is not our Jason but ones from other sites seem like Prima Donnas.
Rumor has it a few journos are still roaming the desert of southern Utah, looking for a cabin and some shrimp.
communal spaghetti dinner
How did you all fit in the shower?
Lots of olive oil.
Mamma mia!
I’m not eating the spaghetti unless it’s green (which is magical) or served to me in the shower, sorry.
I’m beginning to notice a spaghetti theme to this site….
This would be my preferred way to Press Trip, as it’s how I road trip when it’s just me.
When it’s time, Scout should just set up a bunch of Yurts and have everyone do potluck meals as part of the experience. Power everything off the Scouts.
Or just have Jason Schwartzman making a giant Paella like the movie Wine Country.
This is the reason Jason carries a can of emergency clams.
“So, you wanna make that spaghetti (raises an eyebrow) Vongole?“
Operatic bivalaves, (try it in your most operatic voice, all together now, “Vongele, VONGOLE, vonglele spaghetti Amore)
Don’t be too picky with Pickman.
How is there a tag for Weird but not Spaghetti or Shrimp?
There should be a tag for weird spaghetti at this point
Communal spaghetti is the best spaghetti. Everybody knows that.
What about communal shower spaghetti?
How good that is depends mostly on the company.
Much like nude beaches it’s never the ones you want to be there.
well, that’s certainly a kink I haven’t heard of before in my many years on Al Gore’s Internet
They still link to the Jalopnik vid you did with them while there, scroll down on this page:
Shop Pickman Inventory
Pickmans in Red Lodge? Really missed not locating in Roscoe.
You know, it’s been a while since we’ve had an update on the Changli. Is it still functional? Are you using it regularly? How’s it holding up?
It’s in the nonfunctional list in Jason’s profile box at the bottom of the article.
Boooo.
Needs more chainsaws
I’m not sure we update our bios enough for that to be accurate. I’ll ask him. 🙂
Communal spaghetti, hopefully not eaten in a communal shower.
What happens in Zion stays in Zion.
I somehow managed 48 shrimp-less hours, but I did!
*Note to self: Next time pack a couple of cans of shrimp.*
Jars of potted shrimp, canned shrimp is the sort of idea that can lower the tone of a whole website.
Not if you package it properly:

Or how about 3 bags of crispy dried shrimp cheeks?
*Pairs well with sugar free gummy bears.*

An aquired taste one supposes.
