For a year of two I've been toying with the idea of starting a site for long form automotive articles. The sites focus would be on article quality vs quantity. I'd prefer to post one magazine quality article versus 50 blog posts a day.

That being said, I'm pretty freaking busy, and could probably only write a long form article once or twice a month. So, the next logical step would be to see if anyone else would interested in writting longer articles.

I'll try to be super transparent here. There is no business plan, and no focus to try to make money with the site; maybe some day down the road. Ideally, once the site has some decent content we can start getting press cars.

So Oppo, what do you think? Anyone interested in writting longer articles? Would you be interested in reading a site that only had long articles?

Hello, me and a few friends are launching an automotive website to just this end. It should be up and running soon, currently we are trying to find contributors in order to have a regular content production cycle. If you would like to be a part of it, let me know how to contact you

I always love a good, long read article. I'd be interested in reading them for sure.
Writing them, I feel that maybe I could contribute in a small way. Hope it goes well!

First off I have to ask; is the site called "Road Head"? If so that's hillarious, but I'm not sure it'd be inline with the Safe-For-Work content that I'm wanting to write.

You can contact me at info@autocompulsive.com.
