    hey Murilee


    can you tell the hamster overloards that this BLOODCOPY shit is completely pissin us all off??

    its a fuckin ad for some 12-year-old-girl vampire tv show


    see this for more info

    [www.miamiherald.com]

    It might, if the fake vampire blog paid for by HBO to promote its series "True Blood" wasn't on Gawker itself.


    Gawker Media added a short disclaimer at the bottom of the "Bloodcopy" blog to distinguish itself from editorial copy shortly after it was initially posted on Wednesday, and a Gawker editor objected to the blurring line between editorial and ad copy.


    A link to Bloodcopy appears at the bottom of the Gawker site, alongside links to other associated blogs like Deadspin for sports fans and Gizmodo for gadget geeks.


    The fake site uses the same format and breezy style of all the blogs - and is purportedly written by a vampire named Andrew. "I'll be the Virgil to your Dante, the Tyra Banks to your Jade, the Jeff Probst to your Gervase," he writes by way of introduction.

    @wheels OF satan!: Yeah, and if you look at the comments, it's Jalops fucking around. Besides, I don't think Murilee, or any Jalopnik editor has any say in the matter. After all, Gawker signed a contract.

    Those Fiat twin-cams sitting in the seller's yard make me feel kinda funny, but in a good way. It's like a siren's song, calling me towards the jagged rocks of Italian car ownership. Volkswagen Hell, even if it involves fuel injection and the DMV bureaucracy, is a far cry from Italian Project Car Hell.

    The LeMonsability of the Italians puts them in the lead.

    As much as it pains my German heritage, I gotta eat spaghetti on this one.


    One, it's a better deal. However, that's not exactly the selling point on PCH, is it?


    No, the selling point on this is the legendary Italian reliability. Sure, you could go with the Brazilian entry and gaze upon the car like you do Shakira. However, at the end of the day you have a VW kit car. Not exactly hellish, is it?


    The Lancia/Fiat combo is definitely the most hellish and the most worthy. Besides, you can find a sucker or two for the Fiats and get your money back and use the cash to get the Lancia in LeMons where you could score a date in your Italian steed with the beloved Murilee.

    Italian Hell is bigger than German-by-way-of-Brazil Hell, so count me in for the Lancia and its hangers on. Besides, I'd rather have the Lancia when all's said and done than anything sitting on an old Beetle pan.


    The Ventura's kind of cool, and I've never heard of it. Always did like the Puma, though. Throw in a Puma and I might have to reconsider.

    so if I buy the three Italian cars for 700 dollars, does that mean that each one qualifies at a LeMons worthy $233.33?

    Well, in the Italian collection, there's almost no cars in the pics--I mean, there's some rusty stuff and lots of parts but wtf?


    At least there are 2 recognizable automobiles in the Ventura VW deal. Though I wonder if the rottom tires swap out with the rotton tires.


    That said, the Italian collection is the worst, so I guess it wins, but to call that mess a "project car" is stretching it a bit.

    @Novaload Misses Murilee: I gotta vote the other way. The Lancia/Fiat guy wants me to pay him $700 to haul away his junk! And at that price, I would probably throw in the towel and send all of it to the crusher.


    The Ventura + VW combo is more money up front that I would just keep chasing with more dollars. And 2 cars, bit only 1 title. The misery would last and last. And as the Fastback is lacking at least one window, only God know what swamp critter has given birth in there.

    @MarywithanM: I stand corrected, Madam. The Ventura+ VW--let's call it V-VW --or better, the VWentura, a la Elmer Fudd--would indeed destroy both your finances and your sanity--at the agonizing rate of $50 and 50 brain cells at a time.


    note to self: What's with all the dashes?--who am I, Emily Dickinson all of a sudden?

    I checked both boxes.


    Either way, you end up venturing deep into Kudzustan. The Ventura Ferrarion is hilariously good-looking, and the Fastback is at the very least a good source of parts; my only worry with Zagato-Dude and the Worthless Fiats is that he won't let me borrow the trailer.


    I'm sure I can come up with something this aftevening.

    Would an abstention count as a vote for both(all five)? I kind of want them all. That Ventura is sweet, and you can't go wrong with an old Fastback. The Lancia is awesome, as well, and as long as you can somehow convince your wife that you're buying the Spider to fix up for her (wink, wink), you're golden. As for the unpictured mystery Fiat sedan? Well, sometimes you just gotta roll the dice.

    I'm sure the Lancia and Fiats are worse, but the L'Automobile/Squareback is pure WTF, so that gets my vote.

    I'm going to go with the Italians on this one. A Lancia and 2 Fiats for 700? Count me in.
