Quite frankly, a lot.  If you haven’t read the “about us” page on the left column, I can give you a bit of insight.  This started as an idea for a thesis project, I just had no idea how to get started, enter Ryan.  Ryan built all of the backend of the site and got you what you see today.  Jeff has helped out by managing the forum content and making a few snazzy shirts.   But anyways, a brief synopsis of what has happened in the last month:

  • Google Analytics has us at over 200,000 impressions /over 90,000 unique visitors
  • Made the front page of digg twice in a week
  • Linked to on over 75 automotive forums / referred by over 540 different sites
  • “hired” two new writers to keep content coming
  • Various track backs from autoblog and Jalopnik
  • Challenged Jalopnik and autoblog to a 24 Hours of Lemons duel — they chickened out ;)

With that here are the most viewed items (number of unique visitors)

  1. “It felt like the whole house was going to blow up” (39,580)
  2. “Top 10 things to do with your big ass TV” (22,489)
  3. “A large Montana ranch that keeps over 240 horses” (12,204)

Thanks for all of you who have made this a (relative) success, the diggs help immensely as does sharing the site with friends.  Now go buy a shirt and pimp us to the masses.  ;)

  1. sweet, where’s the party at?

    i’d buy a shirt, but i’m just not feeling any of the current designs. maybe if that one shirt had a silouette of a carrera gt instead of that studebaker or whatever the heck that thing is, i’d get it. :)

  2. I definitely saw your site on Digg with the exploding catalytic converters video. I added your RSS feed and
    I liked the editorials and the amount of updates.

    I appreciate the cynical comments, and some are downright awesome (like the “bad ass” editorial) I think some of the same things myself.

    Just make sure not to offend my subie in future articles, and I’ll keep reading.

    Oh yea, the RUF car porn - money find.

    Later!

  3. @ John, were you the guy with the Tuke and Poke WRX?
