A little project I have been working on... Could use some insight/advice.

I am sure that I am a like a lot of you. I surf the web, checking out cars.

I hit the standard sites; Bring A Trailer, Barnfinds, eBay, Craigslist and others.

Occasionally, I stumble across a video. Most of the time, they suck. The guy takes the camera, sticks it on the ground by the exhaust, revs the engine, and then picks up the camera. Sometimes, it's a crappy cell phone video, which is even worse.

Sorry if you're that guy with the crappy cell phone, but I got tired of it.

Anyways, I started collecting the links that I like to the HD videos. I figured I'd string some together and make a blog.

I have no idea if this is a good idea, or if it will go anywhere, but I like collecting links to these videos and sharing them.

So please take a look at Back Road Driver – Sometimes I don't mind getting lost.

There's a link there for submissions. I could use some help.

Also, if you have some advice for layout or other content, please let me know. PM me here or email me at the submissions page.

In general, I like HD videos. Preferably with some artistic merit, and yes, they need to have cars!

Thanks a lot and I really hope you like it.

I have Rendevous up there. That's a great one.
