Best Car Blog: This Week's Bracket Competition « » 12:06 PM 2-20-2008
This week's bracket slugfest is a bit different. There's no competing marque or model, rather the car blogs we all know. If you've got a favorite, make sure to weigh in. I'd bet opinions on some of these sites are about as conversational as the opinions of these site. Check out the competition here...http://forums.motivemag.com/zeroforum?id=1048

Im going to vote autoblog as long as I can, though to be honest the only other blog I've ever read here is jalopnik, which seems to do a good job too. flickr

I think Motor Authority does the best job. They break many of the news stories first, and their writing is clear and concise, every time.Fisker Buzz - The Fisker Community - Join today for the latest on Fisker AutomotiveGayCarFans.com | Lotus Enthusiast

I don't know, Ray, but I heard the new management there is in an epic battle of wills with Mayor McCheese or something.

Have you noticed how many people with one vote are chiming in for CarDomain?

If there's one thing Ricers, Eurosnobs, and the Mullet crew can agree on, it's that CarDomain is the perfect place to post pictures of their crappy cars. Quote, originally posted by Jrod511 » One of these days I'm going to break my computer screen punching you Corbic.
