She might look like this, and no I wasn't leering either....
Beautifully shot, wonderful story line.... and the whole /drive thing will go down in flames because of one important aspect: It is way too expensive to do these types of reports with little to no capital (ie sponsors) to keep it going.
Unless the talent agrees to do this for next to nothing (including on screen and video and editing talent), and the expenses are kept in check (fly on coach, under $100 hotel rooms shared, meals at the local buffet) this enterprise won't be around long enough to attract a significant following. Hang around long enough, and the budget will grow.
There is a case for this, and it does involve Mike Spinelli. 0-60 magazine was one of the most beautiful publications around. Articles were artfully shot, and the quality of both the writing, and the production of he book was nothing les than amazing. And it's gone due to how expensive it was to produce, and the lack of an audience willing to purchase said book.
This looks like an extension of the Next New Network channel of web programming, which was purchased by YouTube this past March. Who knows, with all the might of YouTube parent Google, it might just last.
Something tells me that these beautiful women are rentals....
I must really be out of the loop, but what the hell does Stephen Malkmus have to do with this? And if you have to explain, well it really isn't funny after all....
Sigh..... Taking all posts from Autoblog and transferring them to Autoblognik..... adding a few of your own insipid postings like the Camry, taking the brilliant parody from Mike Levine, and the result? Meh....
The best thing Ray could have done was give his whole staff the day off, with the same result.

If Gawker saw a considerable drop after the re-design, this isn't the way to bring them back up. Oh, and you know where to go for similar posts to NPOCP.
Oh this is getting old really fast.... It's like doing the same joke over and over and over again.
Hmmmm. He was arrested with another man near Orlando Airport. He flashed blue and red lights at a car carrying two men (no women). He is very pretty for a guy named "Bubba".....
I think there is more to this story than impersonating a police officer......

Ray, isn't Jalopnik selling ad space to promote NASCAR these days? You should be at least taking some interest. You should be kneeling at the alter of NASCAR because of their ad dollars....
Oh, I forgot, you don't kneel

Sorry Matt.... they are perfect the way they are. If you're going to be a prick and own one of these things, you may as well go all the way and be the prick to modify one in this manner.
By the way, its no longer a Lamborghini, its a Dekotora Lambo!

The only thing I would like to see added is the number of comments certain posts contain. That way, if they don't generate more than a dozen or so, I can by-pass it. If it has quite a few, I would open it up to read it, even if the subject matter bores me to tears.
I guess I will skip Morning Shift.... seems like any other news blog
Anything with Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Lamborghini, or Porsche, no matter how many comments, I still won't read.... unless the car in question is on fire.

Hmmmm, things are a bit off, but I am not going to say anything bad..... nope not me..... I guess I won't miss my star afterall...
@Arfdog: Not really. Most of the people who own these things feel they are better than anyone else. They are arrogant, self centered, and selfish.
Most of these people are business owners that complain that the payroll is too much in his company, yet feels no remorse when driving up in this thing, even if he pays his employees substandard wages.

@anitesh.jaswal: Except one thing, they are not doing this for CAFE. The European Union (Yes, all of Socialist Europe) is mandating that all manufacturers abide by a corporate average fuel standard.
This will mean that independent companies, like Aston Martin, will have to produce things like the Cygnet. Porsche, Audi, Lamborghini, and Bugatti all have the VW brands to fall back on, like VW, Seat, and Skoda to get them through these standards. Ferrari and Maserati have the Fiat brand of high mileage cars to help them. Not sure how Land Rover and Jaguar will make out now that they are no longer part of Ford.

@Cynic: Its a rebodied Toyota iQ.
I couldn't care less about the Ferrari. Its the Ferrari owner who choose to purchase a phallic symbol in the first place, and bears all the responsibility if he was driving like a jackass.
@NikolaTeslaIsAHero: Almost anything other than a BMW, Ferrari, Maserati, Audi, Aston Martin, Porsche, or even a Corvette.
There is a fine review of the Fiat 500 on here. I'm am sick of all these blogs writing about vehicles that are nothing less than a display of conspicuous consumption.
All the models above are really nothing but phallic symbols anyway. If you want to prove you have something others don't, then simply drop your draws......

If you choose to have a car in NYC, you should expect this type of lunacy. I'm just waiting for Mayor Bloomberg to impose a congestion tax scheme to literally wipe out most of the traffic in NYC.
The love for all things BMW on this site never ceases to amaze me. It's a vintage BMW, we must showcase it....
Same thing goes for the following makes.... Porsche, Ferrari, Maserati, Pagani Automobili, Aston Martin, Audi, and anything, and I mean anything Peugeot, Citroen, or Renault.

OK, Top Gear UK is great, but for Christ Sakes, another Atom? This is my big problem with both Top Gear programs. There are more cars other than the Ariel Atom, or any Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, or any of the other phallic symbols you all see memorized with.
And remember , when criticizing the US version, it took over 10 years to get the British Version right.
