 OK, I have to write about this.  My favourite blog on the internet (apart from Street Smart Brazil's blog of course) is an auto-blog called Jalopnik.  Think of it as a kind of an American blogosphere-incarnation of Top Gear.  Today they announced their first international spinoff, Jalopnik Brasil.  Their motto, of course, is Obsessão por carro!  
Their introductory article notes how important cars are in Brazil due to the country's vast network of (largely unpaved) roads, large amount of auto-manufacturing there, and the abundance of cars there that you just can't get over here in the US (like the VW crossfox, for instance).  It'll also be a great place to practice reading some Portuguese for a car-nut like me :)
