OK, he did mistake this blogspot.com for a .com but that can be taken as a compliment too... I mean, anyone thinking that my content quality and quantity are easily mistaken for a website (.com) and overlook that this is a "made in the garage" blog, in my spare time, are welcome to just enjoy it and possibly think it's a professionally made, full time, team effort.
That would be fine. It's just me after work, and on weekends.
I'm so stoked!
It's far out that such a recognized Hot Rod authority (Hot Rod and Grand National Roadster Show Halls of Fame) and person of impeccable taste likes my site enough to give it an honorable mention in the icon of hot rodding publications. And if anyone looks up Justacarguy.com on Google they'll find this blogspot.com and enjoy

ReplyDeleteThanks G!
DeleteGreat! You can get a .com and have your blogger go right to that url. That way you are still using blogger, but don't have the blogspot address.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jesse! I finally caught up on my most recent HotRod Magazine and nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw your site posted in there! Well done! You rock!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeremy! Caught us both by surpise! You had a cooler first glance though, I got an email from a reader that let me know.. man, I would have popped if I'd just casually been reading through and looking to see if they had mentioned my website, I've been hoping! What a solid ego boost!
