On Halloween, the portal company launched Yahoo Autos Custom, a beta site focused on car enthusiasts and their automobiles.

Yahoo has had an Autos site for a while, where it helps users find more information on buying new cars. The real profitable market has been in aftermarket customization, where people spend thousands of dollars tricking out their rides.

To tap that market, Yahoo launched its Autos Custom site. Members of the Yahoo team working on Autos Custom posted about the site on the Yahoo Search Blog:

If you've ever wanted to know how to fit twenty inch rims on your Honda, give your Charger a sick paint job or restore your '69 Porsche, check it out. See what others have done to their cars, connect with them, brag about what you've done, or just window shop.

... a sick paint job

Maybe I am getting old - but that just doesn't sounds like a nice way to have your car painted.

"Sick" means "good"...

Amazing, this forum webpage was in the top 30 in Google for the search "pimp your ride".

Here's a website I just created today and it needs some testing, and desperately some links to get pagerank... hope this is OK.

Any comments? Does the menu work with your browser? It works OK in IE6.

The website was built in a few hours using this tool http://SiteKreator.com

"Sick" means "good"...

BBcode should have a sarcasm tag. That was just my humour missing the mark.

My vote is to create reverse italic for sarcasm...

Like the suggestion. If I knock up a font I am <sarc>sure</sarc> we could get everyone here to install it.

You heard / saw it here first!

I will now bow to the yahoo gods!!!!!!!
I alway wanted yahoo to do something like this. I'll be reading this for days.
