Welcome to 2013, everyone. We've put up our new wall calendars and have officially tied a bow on what was 2012. Well... almost.

Before we officially get into the swing of the new year, we'll be bringing you a few glimpses back at some of the finer moments of Autoblog from the past 365 days. We don't want to give it away just yet, but stay tuned throughout the day to see some of our best work of the year.

From all of us here at Autoblog, have a safe, happy and healthy New Year. And if you have any automotive-related resolutions for 2013 (we know we do), let us know in the Comments.

Happy New Year graphic

Now that we've officially closed the books on the year 2010, it's time to look ahead at all of the prospects that 2011 has to offer. Here at Autoblog, we're looking forward to yet another year of obsessively covering the auto industry and bringing you exciting reviews, features, breaking news and unsurpassed auto show coverage (reminder: the Detroit Auto Show is just over one week away).

2010 was quite a year, so be sure to reflect on it by taking a look at our lists of the ten best concept cars and best/worst automotive trends of the year. Additionally, we've put together lists of our most popular stories, the content we're most proud of and our 100 greatest photos from the past year.

From all of us at Autoblog, we wish you all a happy and healthy 2011. And hey, if you've got any automotive-related resolutions for 2011, be sure to let us know in Comments!

About this time every year, news outlets like ours wax nostalgic over the past year, compiling the highlights, lowlights, bloopers, and everything in between that happened in the last 365 days. Notes are compared, calendars dates are circled, lists are conjured. Understandably, other than leaving you with 100 of our greatest automotive photographs this year, we'd largely prefer to forget this year in automotive history altogether, soaked as it is with red ink and spattered with the blood of fallen brands.

So instead of rehashing the past, we'd like to hear what your automotive-themed New Year's resolutions are for 2010. Do you plan on buying a new car? Finally taking up autocrossing? Mastering the art of the Scandanavian Flick? Take the fam on a road trip that follows the route in National Lampoon's Vacation? Perhaps you have more modest goals - learning how change out your spark plugs, say, or finishing that Testors model kit gathering dust on that shelf in the basement. Maybe it's just scraping out that crud that has mysteriously congealed in your cupholders or finally beating your nephew at Mario Kart. No matter how big or how small, we want to hear about your automotive plans for 2010. Drop us a line or two in Comments... and have a safe and happy New Year's!

Travis Pastrana's practice jump - Click above to watch the video after the break

This is what we mean when we say Travis Pastrana is insane. Generally, whenever the world sees a ridiculous freestyle dirtbike or automobile trick, it goes off without a hitch. It almost seems like a foregone conclusion that the rider is going to execute a perfect jump or flip, wave to the cameras and hug his significant others. There's a reason for that...

That reason? In a word: Practice. Yes, just like your first grade teacher drilled into you decades ago, practice makes perfect. Usually. As you'll see in the video after the break, practice sessions are just as dangerous and death-defying as the actual stunts themselves. In fact, sometimes even more so.

For this particular feat of craziness, Pastrana is actually planning to jump off a ramp at the end of a pier over 250 feet of water to a waiting barge as part of a New Year's celebration. Assuming practice sessions indicate that it's possible... which, well, just hit the jump to watch the video.
