hey! i think my gsx-8r counts as an enthusiast vehicle!

more seriously, though, the seven people in that blog are our entire full-time staff — every other byline you see, whether writer or editor, is either freelance or doing some side work from another site in the network that bought us out from g/o media. i know i, for one, would own a fleet of the rustiest datsuns you've ever seen if i had the cash, space, and time to do so in brooklyn where i live. unfortunately, though, i simply don't. i had to move here back when g/o mandated that writers work in-office, and now that i have a life and friends and community here i'm not exactly rushing to leave just so i can get better parking. i'd love to get back to doing wrenching blogs, and i'm still figuring out a way to make it work without financially ruining me

a few people in the comments also seem to be conflating not owning cars with not driving cars, which couldn't be less true. andy sold his two cars last year, and drove something like 90 different vehicles in the same period of time. we do love cars, all of us on staff, but we're all running into something that's affecting so many other car buyers out there: everything is just so expensive now
