"They've elevated the short car feature in such a way that they've set the standard for everyone else,” said Jalopnik Editor-in-Chief Matt Hardigree.

Sponsored by Mazda, the 2015 edition of the Jalopnik Film Festival kicked off on Friday, September 25th at the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, CA with a screening of “Winning: The Racing Life of Paul Newman,” .

The following day, Saturday, September 26th, consisted of a full day of screenings at The Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles with the original “Mad Max” and “Ronin,” as well as new documentaries like “Being Evel,” “Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans” and "Havana Motor Club," which have been making their rounds on the festival circuit.

Petrolicious has been a favorite of mine, and constant source of excellent video since they started. I 1st found them in Sept of 2013, with the cool video "Driving in New York" and I've been a fan ever since. They do more than videos, they also post and share incredibly good content
