Why?

My friend Brandon and I sat around one night discussing our project vehicles.  He has an old Austin Mini in the midst of restoration, and I have a 1964 BMW R50/2 Schorsch-Meier motorcycle...in the midst of perpetual restoration.  We are, by no means, gentlemen of leisure.  We like to drive.  We like to have style.  We like owning our dreams. We like UK Top Gear and think the American version is an atrocity.  We read Jalopnik.  We thought we could do it better (not the Jalopnik part, the American Top Gear part). We have also been pretty good at predicting what classic was about to hit the media and public consciousness.   How can we do it better, you may ask?  Well, every kid-at-heart who loves cars wants to be the coolest and fastest on the block.  Everybody with half a million and a rich daddy can have a new Ferrari 458;  we want to show you how to be more interesting than him.  This is for the guys that work, have a couple thousand to spend, are under 35, and want to have more people at the curb asking about his car than the trust fundie with a 458.  Watch "Jeeves and Wooster" on Hulu+.  Every time Jeeves throws away Wooster's hat...that's where you'll find us. Don't be garish, be timeless.  Don't drive a supercar until you are forty.  Until then, Ferrari 458 kid, listen to what we have to say.
