[DeTomaso] NPC: Automotive Journalism Humor

Tue Mar 25 11:19:06 EDT 2014

I used to love reading Satch in Autoweek on the last page, hearing about
the long legged, red headed stock broker.
As I recall, he got into some trouble briefly and they canned him.

   My subscription to CD expires soon - thankfully!!    My point is - who
   reads
   those magazines.  All the articles are about cars that I will never
   buy,
   describing (in excruciating detail) points that IMHO, who cares.  And,
   what
   is the difference in a sedan/family car that has 300 or 400 or 500HP?
   Seriously, who reads that crap!!!!    ---BILL Lewis

   Ditto here. I started subscribing to R&T in the early 80s and drop them
   around 2004. Picked up a year of C&D a few years later but let it lapse
   for
   the same reasons.
   Now it's just First Freedom and Popular Mechanics.
