Ok, that is a very good ad!

Is it just me or does it seem as though Hammond is trying to hard to look young? I know he was always the “young guy” in TG, but that image was started 15 years ago. He’s no longer in his thirties, or even early forties. I feel like his pants are always trying to say: “I’m a young thirty-year-old who still wears my…

Aren’t there already ads the use this slant? I remember seeing an add for a 4-door sports sedan (infiniti maybe?) that had the husband and wife fighting over who got to run to the store to pick up something). Maybe toyota was trying to do something different...

Relevance to an automotive blog?

Might want to reply directly Ayan, that way he’s more likely to get your message.

HAHA!!! For those of y’all on twitter (yes, including our orange leader), y’all saw deadspin just got burned by Ted Cruz, who submitted a photo of himself playing basketball! Whoever runs deadspins twitter account needs to quit and then get their thumb out of their mouth, ‘cause it’s easier to cry that way lol! Man, I…

Awesome article, I like the “real world” reviews, not just reactions to hp figures, or your opinion of a car after a weekend of driving it. It’s fun to come along for the ride as you buy fun cars on a short-term basis and describe what it’s like to live with them. Kinda like Doug Demuro, but way chill and…

only comment: I must star

What if he hosted the account on a personal server? Would it be ok for him to delete it then? JKJK I totally take you seriously...

I haven’t seen this joke on Jalop in a long time! It’s a nice change from the Mustang joke, and the answer is always miata joke.

Now this is the real moose test!!
