[DeTomaso] NPC: Automotive Journalism Humor

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Bill my friend,

My "old magazines, 8mm film and VCR tapes" have long been replaced by the
many facets offered by the internet. A 50" 1080i screen can really bring to
life entertainment today.

I used to subscribe to Bicycling magazine, and along with it came a free
subscription to Mountain Biking - which was one of my all-time favorite
magazines.  They had really great articles that transcended biking.  Except,
the 4-5 page article about "blacktop surfaces" for roads!  <grin>    [And,
Larry, don't you have some old magazines that you look at frequently?]

I haven't seen a decent US car or bike magazine in years. 
 
Compare any magazine today with an example of the same mag from the
1980s...shocking.
 
I still read all of the old ones from time to time.
 
Classic and Sportscar is quite good nowadays though.
 
The latest C&Ds and R&Ts last exactly 15 mins in our house before being
tossed like a frisbee into the bin.

   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....
   Mike
