Well, now that Jalopnik has pissed me off for the last time, my top car-related websites bookmark folder has gotten pretty thin. Heck, even Autoblog is on thin ice.
I love keeping up with GRM (despite the appearances of my lowly post count). What other websites do you guys recommend?
Here's what I've got on the list:
Ate Up With Motor
Winding Road
Hooniverse
Bang Shift
Plus several make-specific sites for Miatas, MINIs, Alfas, etc.
What are your favorites?
GRM
Axis of Oversteer
Motoiq
Speedhunters
not car related, but I have lately taken to Adv Rider.
The Jalopy Journal (HAMB) board. Even if you're not into traditional hot rods there's a lot of cool tech info posted there.
The Old Car Manual Project - http://www.tocmp.com/
Old Car Brochures - http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/
Canadian Driver Motoring Memories - http://www.canadiandriver.com/motoring-memories

Retro rides. Just awesome. Primarily UK based but other members from all over the world. Simply modified old cars. Everything is welcome. Their 2 rules are everything has potential, and if you dont have anything nice to say, keep your trap shut.

TheTruthAboutCars is pretty good, Murilee Martin writes for them now. I've also got theracingline.net and autosport.com in my rotation, among most other things people have mentioned.
This question came up on hooniverse lately and netted me a new site to speed too much time on, The Truth About Cars.

There are other sites out there?

http://www.365daysofa.com/ is all about this 20-something y/o rocking a 1930 Model A as his daily driver for 1 year in Michigan. He's on like day 60, it's wild
Oh yeah I like http://classicmotorsports.net/forum/
miata.net has a car talk sub forum that is pretty good.

Yeah - I don't get it either. Some people even say other magazines exist.
Weird!
For real though, ateupwithmotor and murilee put a blog up on wordpress that's awesome. The links on here to bringatrailer and to classicmotorsports nearly always get a click.
There can be some good stuff on http://www.carlustblog.com/
http://blog.hemmings.com/
It's not quite what you're thinking of, but I love
www.autoextremist.com
I surf a bunch of area/model specific sites such as, www.kyhorsepower.com , www.rangerpowersports.com , www.dakotausa.com , www.powerstrokenation.com .
But my biggest time waster is probably www.yellowbullet.com .
