What do you guys think of it? Apparently the lead editors have backgrounds with Maxim, Esquire, and Road & Track. They bill themselves as a lifestyle car publication for the under 35 year old crowd.

If I’m not wrong, our own JBH is involved.

It looks okay to me. The theme is kind of bland, Ben Kesheen sure loves to write a lot of lists it seems like, and a good amount of the headlines are Buzzfeed/Gawker-esque.

the name and logo seems to be a blatant rip-off of the youtube channel/network/whatever but content looks decent at first glance and it does appear that JBH is involved so there is hope

That logo looks oddly familiar, though.

Jon Harper spent three years creating content and managing social media for Classic Car Club Manhattan before moving to an ad agency, where he worked on social media for BMW USA .
it appears you are correct and I don’t think I’m breaking any of the oppo rules by stating his name as its publicly available and he lists it on his often linked to insta page but feel free to dismiss if you think I am

When I saw the name I thought it was just a coincidence. Until I saw the logo. Then for a moment I was sure it belonged to them, until I saw it belongs to Time Inc. So it’s not related to /DRIVE.

Nope, you’re good. I saw it on his Insta page as well and gave their account a follow.

JBH and Aaron Brown are the only Oppo members I’ve met in person. They’re both chill and very friendly, humble folk.

Good Lord... You would think, them being from of Jalopnik (who is friends with Drive) they would have tried to differentiate it a bit.

They both seem like good people and I’ve always enjoyed JBH’s photos since I first became a lurker

eh, I don’t think its a huge deal. Hershey’s Ice Cream is not affiliated with the chocolate company, but they both manage to exist. If it’s good content, it’s just good content.**
**I don’t actually like Hershey’s Ice Cream, but that is beside the point.
