I had no idea Doug did a bunch of other website posts outside of Jalopnik. I only realized when I was looking up a review for someone and came across an article he wrote on Autotrader.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

After that I Google’d his name and apparently he is all over the place:

TheTruthAboutCars.com

TorqueAffair.com

PlaysWithCars.com

TopSpeed.com

The list goes on. Pretty neat. I was none the wiser.

The commenters at TTAC aren’t exactly fans. Pretty funny.

they seem pretty insufferable in general to be honest (internet warz)

He’s a mercenary freelance. It makes sense.

TTAC is the worst, for reals.

Doug writes a ton for AutoTrader, and a bunch of other places too. I’ve talked to him about it a good bit, and he works really, really hard, which is something that I kind of didn’t expect (not to say he isn’t good at what he does, because he is)

I didn’t realize that. I thought he was just employed by Jalopnik.

He is, and by others as well it seems. Kind of like how Steve Lehto writes for Jalopnik , but he also writes books and has that lawyer gig.

I do just sit around without pants all day.

But sometimes those days are really, really long.

They’re too busy discussing the relative merits of the beigest of the beigemobiles.

I just went over to thetruthaboutcars.com to find a DeMuro article and read the comments. You weren’t kidding. They really don’t care for him over there.

You should see his groundbreaking work for Cat Fancy.

I've always assumed this is why he's so keen to get us to follow him on Twitter. If we do we'll see his other work.

I’m stoked you commented on this article, but at the same time remorseful. Haha!

Good to see your other articles elsewhere. Bringing the love to the internet.
