Mike Spinelli

Mike Spinelli is a long-time journalist, TV producer/host, and one of our funniest and wisest friends. He was the founder of Jalopnik, helped build /DRIVE (Now The/DRIVE). He's currently producing "American Tuned with Rob Dahm" for Top Gear's YouTube channel and the new docu-series "Win the Weekend" for IMSA.
