Gordon, I'm gonna have to take out an AOL account because this is a
"met too" post

Right there with you about auto magazines. Fun to read, but they are
primarily marketing (Motor Trend is the worst, some of their picks
for Car of the Year turned out to be the worst lemons- Chevy Vega,
Renault Alliance...). I enjoy the same authors you do- Garrison,
Collins, Deakin- for the same reason- substance. The same reason I
sift through the entertainment, flame wars, and occasional troll on
this group, because there's real substance to be found.
