May just be me growing into a grumpy old man. That R&T site completely summarizes why I no longer pay attention to Road and Track and many othef buff magazines.

You may be a grumpy old man...but as a likely much younger guy I whole heartedly agree. Junk. It's sad-I used to really look forward to reading those magazines just a bit over a decade ago. |

It's sad-I used to really look forward to reading those magazines just a bit over a decade ago. It is sad. R&T, C/D, Autoweek…these were the absolute standard-bearers as I grew up, giving me hours and hours of reading pleasure and no small amount of information I found fascinating. |
