All of his posts - 90% or better - are informative, interesting, and bring thousands of clicks to the gawker empire. If he's not officially on the team, he oughta be.

True story, though mostly unrelated: Steve is one of the best names for virtually anything or anyone. I DM'ed a game of D&D in which one of the NPCs was a necromancer named Steve. My full size Dalek is named Steve. I could go on...

I agree, but I think this brings too much stings. We see that both Tavarish and Automatch post regularly, which I am sure takes from their personal time more than when they just posted "for fun". I love reading Tom, Tavarish and Steve even if I am in Europe and things are very different, but I think I enjoyed it even more when they were doing this just because they had it on top of their heads, not because they are in some way emplyed by Jalopnik.

Yes. I anticipate his next post like I anticipate the next season of Top Gear.

Steve Lehto, he writes really interesting and informative articles on Automotive Law and they've all gotten FP'd. I agree with the OP, he should be paid for that, I saw one of the ones he wrote recently had 400K+ views

Pros: showed people outright sleeping at the Santa Fe Opera, which is exactly what I did on my only visit there. Great napping weather that night.

Cons: Donal Logue appeared to be wearing a frigging fat suit in this movie. Or at least a prosthetic gut. Really? I have no truck with any medium which employs a fat suit to tell its story.

Yes, of course, I've read his pieces. I'd say generating 400k clicks should be turning some heads.

I sort of get what you mean but don't think it makes a difference here - he'd be writing those articles anyway might as well get further promotion and incentive for it!

I didn't think of this but it makes SO much sense - Jalopnik's official go-to guy for legal issues! I mean that's why Tavarish and AutomatchTom were "hired" as they both have good knowledge of their niches so it should definitely happen!

I had not seen this post before. Thanks for the compliment. And someone wrote it below so I will admit that it is true - I'll probably keep writing these posts regardless of what status I have here. (But I did have that one 450K view post - how cool was that?!)

If this site were nothing but Steve Lehto and Jason Torchinsky I would never stop reading it.

I would happily trade Tavarish's for Steve's informative & sensible posts. He's a great writer, his posts are always very well considered & thorough, and he's not afraid to put his real name on them.

Absolutely, Steve is among the best writers who post here and is my favorite.
