...time for some new homepage articles!

Guys, we're looking for some spectacularly-cool content to post up on the homepage. These articles get a TON of traffic, and they get shared all over the web.

So, if you've had an idea for an article for a while, or maybe you have a great thread that would MAKE a great article, let us know about it!

Here's the kind of stuff that rocks:

* Install articles / reviews
* New car reviews (in-depth and extensive)
* Technical articles (see the "Detonation" article - Engineers?)
* Build articles
* Top-10 lists (with discussion)
* "Jesda-style" articles (see http://www.jesda.com for ideas)
* How-To articles (find a new solution to an old problem? Share it!)
* Rants (see "Why Nissan Shouldn't Kill the S16")
* Comparisons (our G35 vs 330i article, "The King is Dead" is STILL one of our top-trafficked articles of all time)
* Event coverage

Those of you who are aspiring journalists / photographers should jump ALL over this. We're big and legitimate enough to be a hell of a reference to schools and employers, and getting homepage recognition is the same as getting an article in a newspaper or magazine (except more people see it here ;) )

Let's get some conversation going on this topic... I'm right here to help, and I promise, it's way easier than it sounds - Let's hear some ideas!!!

p.s. Motivated by free swag? We can handle that. Bex LOVES mailing out stuff. :couch

Keep the ideas coming. Also, if you run across a thread here that's especially helpful, and you think it'd make a good Tech Article, let me know (just dump the link in here).

Thanks all!
