Car and Driver vs Motor Trend (sports car, Corvette, sell, gas)

Some people idolize singers, or movie stars, and want to meet them. Not me. I wanted to meet Egan, still do.

Egan was easily the best - he shared his actual life, as opposed to just trading in opinions. Class act.

He's written a series of books which you can find on Amazon.

I get C&D and MT. I find that MT is heavily biased to whoever pays them the most. C&D is a bit better but not by much. I subscribed to both because I was able to get killer 3 year deals on both a few years ago.

Always enjoyed car and driver and Brock Yates.

Do you have proof that they are being paid?

Yates was sort of the Hunter S. Thompson of automotive journalism. I do miss his wit.

If I hear the MT editors refer to Randy Probst as their "hot shoe" one more time I'm going to vomit.

Do you think the ads in the magazines are free?

Car and Driver is kind of the "Mad Magazine" of car rags. Some of the others take themselves too seriously. Not a bad thing, but not as an enjoyable read for me.

They are all shades of grey.

CD I have not liked as much since the old guard that was writing left. (Yates, Csere, etc).

MT seems to reinvent itself every 6 months lately and has been for some time. There content seems a little more inconsistent. Also, I think they have become too much about their COY awards.
