This is nice. It’s a Shell ad that follows Ferrari F1 cars through various major cities. I can’t even fathom how much this must have cost, but it’s beautiful, even on YouTube. This is one of the better-optimized web videos I’ve seen. Claude Lelouch’s Rendezvous… from Dat on Vimeo. As is this. It’s part of a mashup […]
I love it when ads are done well. Especially when they’re targeted at me. Because then I am really certain of my love. This BMW ad is beautiful. It’s aimed square at people who already love the BMW 3 series. Gosh I love it.

BMW released its newest iteration of the 3 Series Coupe. I have to say I love the look. Much lighter than the sedan, visually, which gets back to the car’s roots. The front end is just right. Very tough. The greenhouse has a little nostalgic airiness, and I really like the way the crease runs […]

As reported by the Chicago Tribune last week, Jaguar is Ford’s big loser, and a majorly defunct part of its Premier Auto Group (PAG). That’s a cryin’ shame. While I’ve talked about my obsession with beer a few times in this blog, I’m also more than a little crazy about cars. And it makes me really […]
