xbleedblackx89, you got a nice niche and targeted audience. But perhaps you really should move to wordpress because it'll expand your blog a lot. You already have a domain, now find some sponsor and get a webhost.

OK I have not looked around your site much yet, but my jaw dropped. You might say this is a good thing but it isn't. The first thing I start reading on your site is something about "I like this site sometimes. It has a lot of stuff but some of it could be hard to find. The videos are nice but sometimes they do not work." OK this is not a real quote but sums up some of what you had on your home page. Are you trying to get me to check out your site or go look for a better one? After reading like 6 or 8 sentences I would simply hit the back button to go back to whatever search engine or whatever that got me there and I would look for something else.
OK now looking a little deeper I like the videos I first see and then I get down to the area labeled "Tested: 2008 Lexus IS F - Short Take Road Tests" with this white background and light gray print that hurts my eyes to try to read.
Most of the site looks very good and very well made. However one more thing pops out at me. Did I miss it? Or is there no forums at this site. I can only have a "carversation" by myself? I talk to myself enough as it is. hehe I am thinking a forum would be great. You could get the different car lovers together to talk about their loved ones. You have your BMW section, ford section, 4x4 section and soforth.
So what my posts boils down to is this. I like the idea and I like the site. It is very rare I see a site on here that I actually want to watch over time and see it grow. Good luck with it and keep the good work up.
Edit to add**
Sorry I just now noticed this is supposed to be a blog site. That would explain the lack for forums. Sorry am not used to blog sites, still like it though.

journey-first i wanna say thanks. i do wanna add a forum but no budget, i wish there was a simple way to put a forum, and i'm looking into that online, that thing on homepage was a site review of another website with an image of site but i'm guessing it didn't load. the white eye hurting lexus article i deleted. your right i should add somethings like maybe a chatroom or forums for people to talk. i would love to keep in touch. please review my myspace for the blog at MySpace.com - carversation.com - 18 - Male - California - www.myspace.com/carversation ,also any other suggestions, or anyone know where i can get a simple forum or chatroom and upload it and i'm using blogspot so please lemme know.

I use "mybb". I would rather use vBulletin because I have seen so much that I like with vBulletin and so many add ons.
But like I said I use mybb. You can check out the site at MyBB - Home
It is a free forum and I have been happy with it so far. If you want to see it working then check out my forums at journeyoftheanimals forums
I think I just might have to have your site as one of my home pages so I can see it develops. I think you have a wonderful URL and great idea.

i set it up. go to www.Carversation.com and forums is on right side. i don't like it because one i don't have enough traffic,its from a website that doesn't back it up and still hard to use, i'm wondering if i should just skip it for now and then focus on getting traffic then add it later. also, i want to add a toolbar and chatroom but that forum creator comes with it so i guess thats cool.
