Mojo Motors Blog: Best of 2011 (Part 1)
2011 gave the Mojo Motors Blog plenty of fodder to answer (or try to answer) tough questions like what qualifies as a cool used car of the future or what to do before going to the dealership to buy a used car or what’s actually in that trunk. Keep reading for our favorite posts from 2011. If you do, we promise never to use the word ‘fodder’ again.

What it takes to like Mojo Motors on Facebook
The Mojo Motors Facebook page currently has over 150,000 likes and to “like” Mojo Motors on Facebook there are a few requirements. Actually, this isn’t technically true because anyone can like us, but be warned. Before committing yourself and your News Feed to Mojo Motors posts ask yourself a few questions:
Do I like cars with with mustaches?
Am I into cool used cars of the future?
Cool used car of the future: Dodge Hornet Concept
Dodge wants to replace the beleaguered Caliber. Wait, you don’t know what the Dodge Caliber is? That is precisely why Dodge wants to launch a brand new compact model. From the sounds of it, Dodge won’t call their new compact a Hornet (named after the Hudson Hornet), but with no other alternative, the Mojo Motors Blog will refer to Dodge’s new concept as the Hornet.
Cool used car of the future: Thanksgiving Edition
This rare, one-of kind car isn’t really a cool used car of the future. In fact, it’s more of a cool imaginary car from the past when turkeys used to drive around in ears of corn. Those were the days, weren’t they? Anyways, have a great Thanksgiving everyone and if your food coma puts you into a state on immobility, check out the Mojo Motors discount used car listings. If you want even more, head over to our Tumblr page, Unsloppy Seconds, where we post pictures of cool used cars for sale around the world.
Happy Thanksgiving from Team Mojo.
Putting it into park: Weekend Linkage
As November closes in towards Thanksgiving, a couple of things have to happen. First, lots of delicious turkeys have to be brutally killed for next Thursdays festivities. Second, the finale of the Nascar Sprint Cup season will culminate in a battle between Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards this Sunday. Until these two things happen, check out the links below this picture of an Alfa Romeo American roads will never see.

Video game trailers are like works of art
Remember Cruis’n World?
With Thanksgiving coming up, let’s be thankful video games (and their commercials) aren’t made like Cruis’n World anymore. A great game at the time, yes, but it’s time to move on. Watch the following well-written and immaculately directed video game trailers. They are like miniature-films and dare we say. . .masterpieces? We dare. These trailers have pedal-to-the-metal, heart-pounding, tear-jerking, awe-inducing, slap-in-the-face action. That’s enough cliches to get you through the rest of your life so just make the jump to pick up our drift. That was the last one, we swear.
