Those of you who have been Jalopnik regulars for a while most likely have a pretty solid grasp of the concept behind the Down On The Street series, but what about newcomers to the site? We don't want DOTS to feel like some sort of in-crowd-only deal, so here's the Down On The Street FAQ:

Just a final reminder — Krogers parking lot at 13 Mile and Woodward. Look for the red Corvette and the Continental. We may go into Four Green Fields. Yes, I'm buying the first round.
Tonight in Royal Oak at 13 Mile and Woodward, Krogers parking lot. Weather looks nice and crappy — until around 6:00 PM. Good timing. RSVP below, check the site at 3:00 PM for updates.
Want to meet the new guy? Corner of 13 Mile and Woodward @ 6:00 PM — Krogers parking lot. Check here at 3:00 PM tomorrow for updated location info in case of rain. RSVP in the comments.
So, this is where a decade of automotive journalism / copywriting / site editing leads, eh? The back corner of a Starbucks in the Detroit suburbs sitting next to some guy named Ray who, really, is dressed far too well for this gig. And to the Senior Editor slot at Jalopnik.

Looking for something fun to do over the summer? Are you in New York or Detroit? Maybe you should become a Jalopnik intern. You'll get your name on the masthead, $200 in your pocket each month and that certain feeling that comes from knowing you're one of the few, the proud, the obsessively obsessed with the cult of cars. Send your resumes to either detroitjobs@jalopnik.com or newyorkjobs@jalopnik.com depending on your location. As an fyi, sending your resume to the wrong one will be grounds for immediate disqualification.

Our intrepid road test editor Wes Siler was really looking forward to this week out in California. He'd lined up a Lotus long-lead drive and was planning on spending a few hours on the track taking some sharp corners and fast straights. Then he decided it made sense to spend a few hours in the Cali backwoods behind the handlebars of 
This is it. What countless dozens of you have been waiting for, a select few thought would never come and countless millions couldn't care less about — the introduction of the all-new 2008 model year Jalopnik. Although we're still buffing the sheet metal a bit and deciding on an extra hood scoop or go-faster stripes — we've already got a great auto-obsessed group of guys (and, you know, Murilee) in the lineup bringing you the best of what you've come to expect from Jalopnik. And since you've been so kind to spend so much time here, we kind of thought you should perhaps know who they are. So, without further ado, here's the lineup:

While our Gawker overlords turned down our request for a new Nissan GT-R to use in a feature we'd wanted to call "star in a reasonably priced supercar," they did deem the Jalop worthy of a new commenting feature — the "starred commenter." Gawker wants us to use them to give to commenters with a known track record of providing the best of the best in commenting pleasure. We've decided to use the feature over here a little bit differently. Since we all know with great power comes great responsibility, these car stars below the jump will now find out what limited power and a star next to your name comes with.

We now have a septuagenarian hamster on the wheel and our comment system is back up and running. Please commence getting your funny on again.
If you're receiving an error message when trying to post comments, don't worry — it's not you, it's us. We'll let you know when your brilliant observations will be allowed to go back up as soon as our overlords let us know they've replaced the octogenarian hamster running the wheel that is our commenting system.

So it's St. Paddy's Day weekend. What are you doing? Going to the bar? Heading out for the evening? Logging off for the night? I wouldn't do that just yet. In fact, maybe you should wait until after midnight EST, k?
