Though you never saw her on camera, Nicole’s fingerprints were all over almost every video we made. Heard Doug’s mom call from his basement? That was Nicole’s dulcet tones. Saw a pair of legs flying in the air when we lost the key to the Ariel Atom? That was Nicole, making sure we didn’t have to trudge back on our own…

If you’ve watched a Jalopnik video this year and enjoyed what you saw, thank Nicole. She and the rest of our (relatively tiny!) video team busted ass all year to take Jalopnik video from scratch to something amazing.
