First, another shot of that hott STI that I saw that one day.

And second, after some thought and deliberation I’ve decided to go ahead and enter Autoblog’s iPod nano contest. It’s pretty simple, all I have to do is link to ten of my favorite Autoblog stories and explain why they’re so great. Here goes.

  1. Car & Driver reviews three new luxury cars only to find them luxurious

    The title alone gets this one on the list, and is supplemented by the tongue-in-cheek review of the review.

  2. Sensitive emo dudes give away custom Civics

    The title makes me laugh because it reminds me of Esca 23, and as a bonus it’s about a cool car and a cool band.

  3. MkV Golf dubbed Germany’s “Company Car of the Year 2004”

    Autoblog kicks us in the balls by not only reminding us that the new Golf is already available in Germany, it’s been out long enough to start winning awards. Maybe some day they’ll sell it here. I can just see the headline in 2010: Mk V Golf vs all-new Ford Ranger. Yee-ha!

  4. Criminal Justice student charged with carjacking, bank holdup, being a complete idiot

    Another great headline + sweet-ass graphic = another winner.

  5. MINI encourages motorists to bribe cops with doughnuts

    Two thoughts come to mind: a) I wonder if this would work and b) I have never seen a Krispy Kreme box like that in my life.

  6. Toyota to discontinue all exciting cars by 2006: Celica and MR2 told to pack bags

    It’s funny and sad because it’s true. But at the same time it shows how perfectly the Autoblog staff can describe such a situation.

  7. I call it my stable because that’s where I keep my 28,000 horses

    Probably the most mind-blowing thing I’ve seen on Autoblog. You have to go there now and revel in the shear godliness of these cars.

  8. Deer survives 25-mile trip in car bumper

    It’s amusing and amazing obviously because the deer didn’t die and because somebody had the presence of mind to say “hey, let’s commemorate the occasion with a picture!”

  9. Honda Ridgeline Reader Write-in

    Along with some fine alliteration, I was happy to see this because it was an excellent take on what the RL is all about and on what the typical owner intends to use it for. This would’ve ideally shut some of the crazy “not enough truck” naysayers up. Unfortunately, while it was informative and enjoyable, the very same naysayers returned in the comments to remind people that this is not a full-size pickup truck. Well, duh.

  10. 2006 Jeep Commander

    This marks the final entry on the list and it’s here because of the sheer horror that the writer expresses (and that I share) regarding the Jeep Commander.

Well, that’s that. Hook me up!
