A Great Website — Can It Work Here?
I just ran across this fantastic website (h/t Instapundit). Carlust is such a great name for it as well.
I really like Chris Hafner’s writing style as well — compact, personable, totally on-point. Great blog writing, IMHO.
It works beautifully for cars. I know it can’t possibly work as beautifully for houses, since cars are products: thousands of people can share their lust over a particular make/model. At the same time, I know there is such a thing as Houselust as well. Some of my former colleagues at Realogy were deeply in the throes of houselust — which might explain why they work at a place like Realogy. 
Curbed does a fair job of houselust, actually, but it would be a really interesting RE.net experiment for someone to setup a Houselust.com blog and invite a bunch of people to post photos and commentary on a particularly beautiful house. Like, say Falling Water:
For that matter, can you imagine doing a listing like a post on Carlust? What would that look like….
