I read jalopnik and autoblog almost daily

Auto blog seems like car & driver light.

Jalopnik usually gets stories faster and sometimes has phenomenal articles that auto-blog will mimic in a couple days
but Jalopnik commenters seem like just a bunch of auto hipsters and german dick riders that don't really know what they're talking about.

for instance:

http://jalopnik.com/race-of-champions/

Everyone is all excited because Schumacher lapped brian deegan.
Now i'm not saying i like brian deegan but on a dirt bike or in an off-road truck he's pretty good with..

If they put a couple of jumps on this track he would kick Schumacher's ass. But people are commenting that schumacher is the greatest driver ever blah blah blah... HE BEAT A GUY THAT RACES ON DIRT FOR A LIVING NO SHIT HE WON , what does an xbow look more like... a TORC truck or an F1 car?

I hear ya.

Autoblog's writers seem like they don't want to offend anyone (IMO). They never really say what everyone is thinking.

forums, I like forums.


You get about 85% bullshit and regurgitation, but when that 15% rolls around - you read it first there, unfiltered, unedited.
