    I was added to the masthead of Hooniverse.com.

    It's a hobby, but an enjoyable one.

    Congrats, man, that's awesome! Hooniverse is like the new Jalopnik, so I'd call that a very prestigious position you hold there.

    I remember being pretty chuffed about becoming a "freelance" Bring a Trailer contributor, but that kind of fizzled out in the end.

    Congrads! That gives us one more reason to trust Hooniverse....Maybe you and Longroofian can cover the $2012 Challenge.

    That's cool. I enjoy reading your articles. You just need to put links on here somewhere so I can find them.

    Congratulations!!

    I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

    You should, I cribbed it from here...

    I wrote it a week and a half ago, but had to hold on to it to post on Two Wheel Tuesday. (Autoblog posted it 2 hours later...)

    I don't know if this is a compliment...

    Are we like the NEW JALOPNIK, or are we taking the place that Jalopnik vacated to become NEW JALOPNIK!

    I used to like them, but they have fallen off a massive precipice as of late.

    I'd say Hooniverse is the new place for those that used to go to Jalopnik for content.

    Congrats, Hooniverse has been on my daily docket for car geekery.

    Joey, you just earned a battlefield promotion to the rank of honorary Double Dog Dare You Dorky Dork.

    Congrats Brad.

    Noice! Yeah, Hoon is rapidly becoming what Jalopnik used to be.

    How can it be a midlife crisis, when I've driven sportscars my entire life?

    1. Read the headlines
    2. if you don't find at least one cool thing every 1.5 pages, you don't deserve to be a GRM dork

    Here is a convenient little link for you! It's every piece I have ever had published on Hooniverse... Enjoy!

    Thanks for all the votes of confidence. Hopefully, one day, it will be more than just a hobby.

    I might be able to make the challenge next year, but I would assume Longroof will be there as Daytona is a much shorter drive than Medina, OH.
