[DeTomaso] NPC: Automotive Journalism Humor

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Car & Driver was the only publication I read from cover to cover every month
from '65 till around 95. The last years I found myself reading less and less
till I got to the point of not renewing my subscription. I sill enjoy going
back to re-read the old issues.

Chuck,

Brilliant stuff.

To see just how far the standards of American automotive journalism have 
plunged, pick up the August 1971 issue of Car and Driver, where the Pantera 
was introduced to the USA for the first time.   I was reading that issue in 
bed last night, and was bowled over at the outstanding prose contained 
therein.   Not just one, but every single writer in that magazine had a
marvelous 
gift for expression, writing with a style and precision that would be 
completely foreign to virtually all writers today.

Sad....
