Last night was the Super Bowl, and while some people watch in anticipation to see who will win the game, the real entertainment can often be found in the commercials. For space that comes at such a high cost, you expect to see some of the best commercials of the year.
This year’s automobile commercials included:
Audi R8
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Bridgestone

The highmileage.org racecar has finally eaten too many cones for my comfort. She needs a little TLC, and that’s going to come in the form of an el-cheapo paintjob. Now, it’s probably not a good idea to paint your daily driver by yourself — certainly not with Rust-oleum paint. But handy weekend racers love Rust-oleum paint jobs for their track cars, because the process is cheap and easy. The finished product might be called… ch-easy. (I’ll get my coat.)
Instructables.com guide DrSimons created a graphical step-by-step guide that takes the guesswork out of the process. I was so impressed with DrSimon’s thoroughness that I had to browse the rest of the site. This site is a treasure-trove of user-created project guides that can help anyone discover their crafty side. It’s the perfect complement to a user-powered site such as ExpoTV — I bet a few of our Videopinion creators would make excellent Instructables guides!

Whether or not you agree with Peter DeLorenzo’s estimation of the auto industry, the oft-cited author of Autoextremist.com is a master of the craft of automotive prose. The tone is stiff — at times, gruff — but even the most ruthless rant still seems to end with a sense of optimism. Each week, the Autoextremist pores over the most minuscule industry developments, and then summarizes them for readers who want a rough-cut insider’s look. Autoextremist cracks the bat when other analysts are afraid to swing. Those that crave a renegade’s take of motoring culture should be reading every Wednesday.
Many happy miles,

Want to see embarassing photos of me as a highschooler?
Too bad. Photos from the time when I tucked huge tees into comically-oversized denim have been banished to yearbooks that I hope nobody bought. College helped to hone my sense of style, but the real change came when I looked to automotive design trends for inspiration.
Intersection Magazine aims to chronicle fashion trends and relate them to the automotive world. Lifestyle pieces highlight destinations and events that hold special meaning to those in motor culture. High-quality glossy stock helps each thick issue complement even the most thematic home interior. Writers shy away from clichés in favor of original phrases, which makes the pages fly by. American issues are published quarterly in New York City, and priced at $10 per year.
As the “Instant Internet” becomes enthusiasts’ preferred medium for news, traditional buff books have lost relevance. However, focused niche content has a longer shelf life — and magazines such as Intersection have earned new importance.
Many happy miles,
