Ever hear the old saying: “If you love what you do you’ll never work another day in your life.” Well, we here at Ridelust.com pretty much fall into that category. We wake up every morning, make some coffee and then get to write about our passion – Automobiles. We are not beholden to anyone so for us the freedom to express our true feelings about what goes on in the auto industry is a Godsend. If we don’t like something then we’ll tell you. If we think it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread, then hell, we’ll say that too. One thing we won’t do is feed you bullshit opinions, that’s just not the way we operate.

We also wanted everyone out there to understand that we really do live this stuff. Maybe it’s because we didn’t have a big enough sand box when we were kids or that our Hotwheels and Matchbox cars didn’t fill our automotive needs. All we know is that now, as adults, we’ve made it our business to do what we’ve always wanted to do… play with cars. We also wanted to thank all our readers for the emails and comments that you provide us with on a daily basis. It keeps us rolling.

The Automotive Blogosphere seems to be filled with fan sites, empty content, and snarky comments. I have been as guilty as anyone in pushing the type of babble that permeates the big name websites, and almost all the sites have the same formula: Features on Exotics, LOL Cars (FAIL, That will buff out, Exotic Wrecks, etc.), Video Features, Top 10 lists, Caption Contests, Question of the Day, Recaps, Ebay and Craigslist car ads, and on and on and on. You get the picture, right? Sometimes, you have to ask yourself is there anything else? Why yes, yes there is, and two come to mind: Hemmings Blog, and one that I’m heavily associated with, Automotive Traveler.
