What's that new name above your favorite online car shows? It's VOD Cars. The #1 Broadband Car Network. Yeah we're bragging, but who cares; everyone else does it.

Millions of video views a month -- Fast Lane Daily, Garage 419, FLD Tours, Shakedown -- and it all started with a little online program called VOD Cars. The tagline said it all: "No Talking, Just Speed," and that's exactly what VOD Cars delivered. The best car clips on the web -- submitted by you and edited by us -- into a few minutes of guilty automotive pleasure. Now, the spirit embodied in those raging minutes of automotive glamor gives life to the VOD Cars automotive network.

VOD Cars is the home of Fast Lane Daily, the only daily car news show on the web ever to make a Thomas Paine joke. Do you know how hard it is to make a Thomas Paine joke about cars? We do, and we did it anyway. But it's not all jokes. If you'd watched FLD this past year, you'd have known six months before anyone else that Hyundai was working on a turbocharged, rear-wheel-drive coupe (the 2009 Genesis Coupe). You'd have also known Mercedes was working on a new version of its classic "Gullwing" sports car (Mercedes SLS AMG). But of course you were watching, and now all your friends think you've got an auto-industry spy on speed-dial. You can thank us later.

VOD Cars is also where you'll find Garage 419. If you ever wanted to take an Audi R8 ice racing on a frozen lake, drive a diesel-powered Smart car at ridiculous speeds on a go-kart track or blast a 100 shot of nitrous through a rental car just to see what happens, you'll be a fan of Garage 419 for life. But you probably already are. In that case, uh, good to see ya.

In the coming months on VOD Cars, you'll be seeing lots of new automotive programming on VOD Cars, some of it spun off from Fast Lane Daily, like FLDetours, our two-minute-and-change review of the latest showroom bait, or Shakedown with Leo "The Suit" Parente, an irreverent look at the world of motorsports. And FLD's own automotive sales consultant and halfway-decent guy, Bob Schubin, Jr. says he'll make sure you won't get ripped off when you buy your next car. Heyhowboutit...

Coming up, you'll also see more programming from the most important person in the world -- no, not Bob Schubin Jr's tax accountant, Vinnie Gotabuginmeir -- YOU. We want to know about the car scene in your hometown. What's the latest street action in Dubai? Who's got the fastest rally car in Romania? What's the weirdest engine swap in Des Moines or Los Angeles or Ingolstadt or Changwat Chaiyaphum? What are they doing for fun in Rovaniemi, Finland or Hellhole Palms, California. We want to know. Grab video camera, shoot video, let us know about it, sit back and watch. It's that easy. That's tips@fastlanedaily.com. Oh, and friend us on Facebook.

Welcome to VOD Cars. Feel free to look around, and try not to break anything. Sorry, I mean try to break everything, because if there's stuff you can break, we're not doing our jobs. Let us know what else we can do for you at tips@fastlanedaily.com. Some fresh-squeezed orange juice perhaps? Jeez, enough arse-kissing already.
