One of my favorite annual traditions on Live and Let Diecast is tallying up the likes we received on our beloved Instagram page. We hit a few rough patches this year with the whole Kinja debacle and lost some traction with Insta's quirky algorithm, but we still gained 1,200 new followers to bring our total to over 19,600. I shared over 750 of your photos this past year, so without further ado, here are the most liked photos of 2019:

A big congratulations to Howard for being crowned this year's Instagram champion! If I remember correctly, that Subaru was actually a mainline release.
Honorable Mentions...
We also have two honorable mentions this year. The DriveTribe social media team opened up a channel on Slack, our behind the scenes communication tool, earlier this month to submit photos for their own Instagram page. I've been submitting like crazy, but only two have been selected so far. After all, our pics are competing with professional photographers and you know, real cars. Regardless, both Nick's GT40 and R32 Rennsport's Outlaw photos broke Instagram and netted more likes than said "real cars", so huge kudos to you both!
