Happy Birthday Daily Turismo
Another year, another set of wrinkles and grey hair…except not on Daily Turismo. Here we turned 8 years old on July 17th, 2020, but through the magic of the internet, we can get younger each year. Leaner. Fitter. Less spammy, less Blogger, more WordPress, more mobile friendly. So that is exactly what we did.
DT’s 7th year was not without it’s trials and tribulations. We mourned the passing of DT writer Hunsbloger on New Years Eve, and we had more spam comments than rust on an un-restored Renault (blogger’s blogging platform may have been state of the art in 2012, but they’ve all but abandoned development and spam is rampant)…and then this COVID19 thing hit. It (COVID19) hasn’t seemed to have affected the used car market as much as I thought it should or would…but life goes on and we’ve tried to make the best of it. Our site revamp has come along nicely and we are adding some new fresh writers to help bring some more energy and more cars/ more features/ more of the best cars for sale on the internet.
Where does DT go from here? I don’t know, but it will be driven with arms crossed over, rear tires clawing for grip, and flames shooting the rear. One more lap and I’ll get those flames the light the candles on the cake…
DT Editor-in-Chief, Vince

Test congratulations.
Thank you Zach!! Testing out some nifty comment features — but the last time we did this it had to be disabled because it locked some folks out of commenting. Fingers crossed!
Grattis på födelsedagen! Min svävare är full med ålar! Remember when we used to do stuff in Swedish? Good times.
Good call on the threaded replies.
Weird that it now squooshes my gravatar into a circle, when I went to all the (3 minutes of) effort to make it a square after it started out as a circle. Is that a setting, feature or bug?
Can we put images in the comments? Got formatting info?
Hey — Square gravatar? Better now?
Better! Oh, wait, weird. It’s round when I’m typing the reply, but I bet it goes to square when I hit submit.
I noticed the same thing. Might be a refresh thing…might need to log out/in.
I did have to log back in for that comment… fwiw.
Happy birthday, DT. Keep it coming, to work is good.
Still my go-to, first site o’ the doctor’s day (don’t judge). More laughs than a drunk MacFarlane, the daily dose of DT levity makes “these trying times” positively palatable.
Oh, and the cars must be good, too. You know, since I keep buying them and everything.
Thanks for the kind words — did you buy that Jaaaaaaaaag?
