I know a lot of us probably have a few blogs that we are tracking. Be it a build, development, or other.
I was wondering what good one some others might be on to to add to my reading, so I thought it might be good to create a thread to share.
So, I will start us off by listing the ones I currently track with a link and brief description.
http://www.dpcars.net/ Design and production of a few cars. Chief interesting one a sports/racer with 500hp busa based V8 and AWD, oh yeah.. weight of about 1000lbs..
http://www.midlana.com/index.html Build and design of what could be loosely called a honda locost middy.. (I know the author is on here, keep it up!)
http://www.rhoadescamaro.com/build/ Build of a 1967 camaro z28 gunning for the STX autocross class by a former national champ.
http://www.drivenachodrive.com/ Around the world in a VW camper. found on here, really awesome prep on the van.
http://www.alsoranracing.com/ Challenge lotus build, added to my blog list, made me think of making this thread.
List some up! I am unemployed and could use a good read in between job hunting!

I check in on www.motoiq.com sometimes. I check it out 'cause I used to follow Mike Kojima and Dave Coleman in SCC mag and SR20forums back in the day. The focus on drifting articles is kinda lame though.
I write about 10 blogs for my automotive clients. No builds, just car news that's better written than what other groups are putting out.
You are welcome to check out my blog now and then also. I'm chronicling my entry into Spec Miata racing and soon my second season. Some build, some race results, some prep, some driver development.

How about some shameless self-promotion?
Edit: And I meant that I really do want to see them... there are enough lame ones out there that a good one would be... uh, great.
I happen to know of a couple. I started doing blog style posts for 9magazine's website today. It's a fun one.
An interview with Dario Franchitti
I also write for Hooniverse.com, but most of you know me from such threads as "Learn me Motorcycle Aero", and "Maroon92's Garage Sale".

I was happy to - for once - be the first person to ID a car there:

[it was an easy question, I just got lucky]
Oh, and I also have a Tumb-log. If you have never been to Tumblr...stay the hell away, it will eat you alive and spit you out the other end.

Fair enough. Here's a handful of them. Now I'm going to watch the analytics to see if I get a spike in traffic.

I handle the blogs from design to writing. It's good work if you can find it.

particularly anything written by Chris Hafner, he lusts after junk, he has these random $ challenges for readers to come up with the best vehicle in class (al-la CL search, kinda like the search threads on these boards) and I think he's amusing...
For example, read this, then judge his character: http://www.carlustblog.com/2010/12/my-1500-challenge-the-imported-and-the-sporty.html

Very relevant to my interests! I have a 95 miata (sts mods) and I am hopeful to open track when I get more employed.
I read all your posts so far, gotta say that I am surprised that your running 40psi pressures, running RE01's I am at 32 for auto-x.
Enjoyable read! Looking forward to seeing more of it!
I write occasionally for http://www.curbsideclassic.com/ - a blog of interesting cars found on parked on the street usually in driven but not perfect condition

dirte30 is interesting, but needs moar content. I've found more info on forums on that car... I guess it's all top secret though, kinda like the area 51 of the internets.
