While we don't think Mark Cuban will ever own the Cubs, we have it on good authority that PickupTrucks.com has been purchased by Cars.com in a deal that makes absolutely perfect sense. There's no doubt that there are few better sources of Truck-related news on the web than PickupTrucks.com, and there are also few automotive websites that spend as much on television advertising as Cars.com, meaning that the combination of the two is a match made in heaven. Fear not as Mike Levine, the site's editor and longtime Jalopnik super friend, is going to maintain editorial control of the site until Rabbi Dave of Kicking Tires stages a bloody coup later this summer... but perhaps we've said too much. A press release officially announcing the deal will probably drop tomorrow.

As long as my PC doesn't get a virus from Crossovers.com, I'm good.

I am going to start Jewlopnik.com and oddly enough Wert is the Editor-in-Chief over there as well.

Just some good ole' Jewish boys talking about our cars...

It will be the best Jerry, the best!

@Red AuerБЯд╒╒: Isn't anything ending in -nik already Yiddish enough? Not that you can ever be Yiddish enough...

I think I'll register old-n-busted.com and sit on it for a while. Who knows?

No, there won't be a bloody coup. I prefer the bloodless kind anyway.

I'm also not going to write up an announcement on KT tomorrow. I'm just going to run this verbatim.

@Novaload: That would be the guys on Top Gear ragging on the BMW X6. "It's not a bloody coupe..."
