That's some real artisanal HTML right there. <3

This might be the best website ever. It is over the top, but the theme is consistent. It reminds me of a myspace page, but if someone just wanted to be ridiculous, not unsightly.

Side note: anyone remember "I knows me some ugly myspace" from Ze Frank?

Ze Frank. Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in quite some time. What an early internet vlog pioneer. I wondered what happened to him and looked him up a while back. Turns out he’s some bigwig at BuzzFeed so I guess he made out okay, but part of me misses that early enthusiasm and wonder of early internet 2.0.

He's recently restarted posting to his YouTube channel and they're definitely worth a watch.

Brilliant. I almost wish I needed to lease a car just so I could put some business her way.

I love this website. Can anyone from the UK explain what a 'mutti-car' is?

The only way that makes sense to me, is that "mutti" is a short form of "mutter" in german, which means mother. So a "mom car".

Disclaimer: I'm not english, and only half german.

No more than I can explain 'electrodreams' or 'mackem sex', I'm afraid!

And Sunderland is where the Nissan Qashqai is manufactured.

That's a glorious Ling ASCII banner. But the video referenced in the commented YouTubePlayer widget is a first for me, and absolutely hilarious: [Drugos (Despacito) LINGsCARS website promo][1]
