Al Navarro commented on Jalopnik Fantasy Garage: What Now?, at 1:53 PM on May 13 Here's what I'd love: To actually try and find some of these cars for sale and put together a shopping list with links to vendors/ebay. Or, take the current line up and do a randomized bracket with it...and see who would win in single elimination (I know we have to get down to 48 to make the bracket even though....or we could take lowest 3 and have a wildcard 3-way for 48th berth. --- If we're trying to cull/evolve it...I'm with the 75% rule people. But before that, can the Gawker Hamster make a downloadable PDF of the current 50's write ups? more »

Al Navarro commented on BMW X6 Sells Out, at 6:49 PM on May 8 I wish I had a bazillion dollars...I would have bought them all in an act of charity to spare persons with some sense of automotive aesthetics. And then I would have used them all in a Jalop staff vs. more »

Al Navarro commented on Norwegian Hoons Are Audi Wagon Drifting Masters, at 8:49 AM on May 6 Perhaps the only thing cooler than the car control (despite hoonage in an apparently high traffic zone) is the self-policing of commenters. more »
Al Navarro commented on Norwegian Hoons Are Audi Wagon Drifting Masters, at 4:53 PM on May 5 What I find most amazing is the relative lack of lock the driver had dialed in. more »

Al Navarro commented on Gaggle of Supercars Set Loose On I-75 In Florida, at 3:00 PM on May 2 My favorite thing about this post is how the commentariat is mostly "meh". Now, if it were some Saab 96s going 50, sideways...

Al Navarro commented on What Should Mad Science Drive To Work?, at 12:59 PM on May 2 @Mad_Science: If you're in Cali, you need to SB100 it, I think... But let's say you and a friend build it in Texas or AZ or some other more kit car friendly state... Again, you know where to reach me. more »

graverobber- Same great taste, new low price! on Apr 30, 2008

Hey there Al,
From your business web site, I see we are in the same industry. I'm at G2 direct & digital, however on the west coast, so I don't feel any competitive pangs. Great "how-to" commentary today, things have been getting a bit unruly here as of late. BTW, very nice web site for Mint Advertising. Well done that.

Take care,
Graverobber

Al, come over and take a look at our Challenger coverage over on Automotive Traveler (automotivetraveler.com) and leave some comments!

@Al Navarro: Then you're in luck! -VW(oA?)'s director of marketing is this smartass guy named Stefan, and at AdWeek a few years ago he specifically gave a talk on Cherry Picking small but awesome shops and how that risk paid off with more interesting stuff than the weak, bland, "Just Trying Not To Lose The Client" work that many big AORs turn out. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Al, Thanks for the offer about a ride in your se7en. I live in the Hartford, CT area. Will message you when May comes closer around!

Hi Al.
I love your car ad reviews. Here's an ad for the citroen C-crosser that I find interesting:

cheers!

I dunno what happened with that...Navalb was how I was ID'd on my highschool computer, and it's the user name I've had on AY OH ELL for like, ever. Should be correct now. For the record, I've written 2 more of those Ad Critiques, and am just waiting for Ray to run them.

Wha's with the new handle? Is that for "Navarro, Al, version B?"

I just want to clarify my "why Al Navarro" question from yesterday. It's not a matter of disliking your contributions, I just frequently finding myself wondering about the seamy underbelly of the internet that is (actually more WAS) blogs, and where they fit in as far as news source, educational tool, etc. Needless to say, I'm intrigued by a that pops up as an offshoot of Gawker, gets press passes to industry events, and has regular commenter's of whom at least one has become a contributor to real articles rather than just comments. Anyway, keep up the good work.
