Now that we are our own separate entity, can we get press cars now?

NOW we're talking...

But seriously, show the automaker reps your articles (if they're good), and show them the traffic here once we're up and running. Who knows?

[DaveyD]

E90M3 will exclusively review Nissans

[This is what we'll show...]

We can now claim to be from Jalopnik and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it.

@golfr-guy Only the best CVT equipped base models.

@this-is-what-we-ll-show Well, they could just say we don't.

It was a trick question anyway. Nobody gives Jalopnik press cars.

[Jordan]

@this-is-what-we-ll-show I think it's only GM that doesn't.

[WhoIsTheLeader]

@this-is-what-we-ll-show Harsh, but true.

[Bloody-the-resident-LandRover-apologist]

@this-is-what-we-ll-show well, probably a cease and desist but INAL.

@davesaddiction I'm sure Mazda, Volvo, and I will become the greatest of friends now that most of my online fact pieces have been nuked.

Does CL give press cars? Because we give them more time than any other business.

I mean, I’ll wear their logos if they pay me.

@jordan And Kijiji, don't forget kijiji!

[Danny Korecki]

I really want the details on the Oppo users who pretended to be Jalopnik writers, but info is slim.

[This is what we'll show...]

@jordan Tesla won't even answer their emails.

[Danny Korecki]

@davesaddiction as someone who gets cars, it is more an art than science.

I have seen writers/sites who barely get 1k reads/views get a continuous stream of cars while other acquaintances who can get 50k reads/views get passed on access.

@nth256 I've failed Canada, I'm sorry.

[nth256]

@jordan How truly Canadian of you.

based on our collective status in the auto review industry, here are the review cars available:

• 1998 Dodge Stratus, hole in engine block

• 2020 Ferrari SF90...photograph, taken off a printer

• Volkswagen Badge, source unknown

[MybirdIStheword]

@jordan hey, we can claim our reviews are unbiased at least! Ethics!

[rctothefuture]

I'll take point on any and all Mitsubishi's.

@jordan Hardigree posted an article about 5 yrs ago about the process. I skimmed it and found one of the companies referenced that handles the cars: < https://www.driveshop.com >.

Presumably you could apply though them. I checked out the online application, you need things like website analytics and demographics of your "followers". The new hyphen site should be pretty good in that regard honestly, especially in the juicy 18-35 male category.

@nermal This was 100% a shitpost(See, SR20), but that's actually interesting.
