Teenage Kids To Make a Business Out of Car-Spotting

Not all paparazzi are dirtbags. Just ask the four kids that started carparazzi.com. They turned their love of exotic cars into a website anyone can contribute to. Being photographed by these guys is not an annoyance - it's an honor. I saw them on Jay Leno awhile back, and Nightline reported on them again recently. They are in the process of getting advertisers, but the site is already an amazing accomplishment.

Why didn't I think of this?!

Check out their latest video:

Question: Do you know anyone who has turned their passion into a moneymaker?

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
