I'm looking to get HTT rolling again, and I could use a contributing writer or 2 to ad another couple of articles a week. Ideally I'd like to be able to put out 5-6 a week with mine included. Any takers? Sorry, no money yet. But if we could get the ball rolling, no reason why there can't be eventually.

DISCUSSION (25)

HTT? I would like to hear more.

I would love to have another place to submit articles to. Forgive my ignorance, but what does HTT stand for? Is it sub-blog here? Another site?

Would you be looking for themed content? Like interesting internet finds, racing specific, off road specific, etc.

If you're looking to add a dash of irreverence and weird, while still making valid points, I'm your man.

Awesome. Do you have a good article we could use to introduce you ready to go?

Anything auto related has been the theme so far. But if you have a particular interest we could always make you the "Weekly XYZ Corespondant" lol

Well i don't know what kind of authors you're looking for but if it comes down to writing about my opinion on cars I own versus other cars; or cars i can get my hands on, then i'm down for it. Anything else though, i'm not that sure

I've got my own style that I'd like to think shines through most of my post. As long as you can keep it PG13 then you're in!

I wouldn't have anything specific in mind, but I am definitely interested. I'm not sure how official you want to make things, but here's my email address: garrettdavis6@gmail.com

I'm sure you wouldn't want to bring someone on just because they said they wanted to, but here are a few things I've submitted here, with a few being posted on the front page:

Everyday enthusiast! Perfect addition. Maybe a used car specialist piece? Would you be able to research those cars in the market and show the value vs popular competitors?

That actually does show the skeleton and most of the muscle of being a good intro piece. Can you restructure it a bit as a "coming out" piece? Like if I was interviewing you, and asked for you're automotive experiences, how would you rewrite that for me to give to the HR team? And keep it entertaining lol

Sure man. Shoot me topics, ideas.

I'm 20, in college. Grew up driving Acuras and am obsessed with Mustangs, particularly old ones that drift. I hate priuses.

If you can come up with a good intro piece going through your automotive history and where your perspective lies, send it to bugeyedacura@gmail.com

I want to go over everybody's piece, edit if need be,and then roll you guys out one by one next week. How would that sound?

Everyday enthusiast. lol I must admit i'm on here a lot but yes i could do that or probably deviate and compare how much depreciation hits big cars; like compare the prices of 2002 jaguar x types which are like $3k now while 2002 camry's are like 4k now, little informative pieces like these but that's it. My automotive knowledge is limited but not my love and addiction

Are you graphically savvy? We could always work together to give your articles a short blurb to intro it, and then present a graph of comparisons of what you find.

Graphically savvy? If i spend all this time on jalopnik and oppo and i'm not graphically saavy yet then something must be wrong with me. I understand how to format and write captivating articles and with a good editor, anything is possible. Right now we're still taking baby steps and i see your vision so i'll say lets do it. Lets just say i'm auditioning. I'll send u an article tomorrow. If you're pleased, then nice to meet you boss
