but you updated it with the NHTSA angle and Buchko quote via AP. However, it would be nice to link back to story written just two days ago on the same website that looked at the worldwide recall and also dug into other problems BMW had with fires.

It's a good point

At About.com, where I also write, you get credit for PVs if another story is linked to from your article. Maybe that would increase the use. Plus, there is no simple way to link. That would help to. But I think if I were to follow up on something written on our site 48 hours earlier, I would throw a courtesy link.

argh.. Patrick already did something on this recently. BMW just sent out a press release on it, but I imagine that whatever I wrote wouldn't be significantly different

Sure it's an April Fool parody but it's interesting to point out what exactly is parodied.
