QOTD: Clearing Up The Reader’s Ride Confusion, Making Them Better?

(Clip contains NSFW language)

Due to the not-quite-globally-distributed nature of TTAC's leadership, we inadvertently gave you guys a bit of a confusing situation this week.

We've had a "Reader Review" by Rich Murdocco, discussing his car, and a couple of "Reader Ride Reviews" by Bark M. and Jack B., in which the cars of TTAC readers are reviewed.

I think it's reasonable for the readers to have different expectations of these two different types of car reviews. So, the question(s) of the day:

0. What terminology should we use to distinguish between TTAC editors reviewing reader-owned cars and readers reviewing their own cars?

1. What expectations do you have for our staff reviews of reader-owned cars? Do we need to describe the car from the ground up like we would with a "First Drive"?

2. What about the reader-contributed reviews? Should we continue with them? Are they interesting or credible from your perspective as a reader?

Thanks for considering the issues and keeping us on our toes! — JB
