Justin was an integral part of our team, and we are greater for having him here. He'll be sorely missed but we know he'll do amazing things at Yahoo! Autos — as he creates the new biggest auto blog. But, although we lose one Justin, another Justin rises to join the automotive Wolfpack. More »

It's 11:00 AM. If you don't get your fix of Answers of the Day soon you're going to completely lose it. You have a fever and the only cure is more AOTD. Sadly, Martin Grossinger, our highly skilled intern who usually puts it together has abandoned Jalopnik after two summers to continue his pursuit of a higher education. Do you have the guts to take his place? More »

]]> http://jalopnik.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=5833530&view=rss&microfeed=true This morning we pushed live a small code update that, for the vast majority of Jalopnik readers, will mean very little. But for two groups of readers — our hardcore fans and those stuck on older web browsers — this update provides some much-needed relief to a very frustrating post-redesign user experience. More »

You'll notice Jalopnik's front page looks quite a bit different today. There's this one big story taking up most of the page, and an infinitely scrolling list of today's headlines in a column down the right side of the page. The page itself is a lot simpler and lighter, which means it will load quickly. And at last we have a way to display big, gorgeous images and videos on the front page of our site. That's the point.

This week at the Paris Motor Show, our America's Next Top Car Blogger contest was arrogantly pooh-poohed by the automotive press intelligentsia. They self-importantly told me we'd never cull amazing writers from Jalopnik's readership. Let's prove those egotistical pricks wrong. More »
