I guess you are one of the people who look at the pretty pictures and not actually read ANYTHING in it, let alone articles

Guys from west coast customs made their own version, not the actual HHR RRH SSR POS

Motor Trend isn't worth reading anyway. They're the anti-gearhead bores who decide muscle car shootouts on interior accomodations and fuel economy. A DSMer wrote a letter telling them how to use the 5k two-step limiter built into the Evo MR and they still had absoulutely no clue as they showed in their response. I get Motor Trend, Road and Track, and Car and Driver back issues once my uncle is done with them, and I've been considering tossing the motor trends right off the bat.

I have too, lately it only seems to get worse too...I mean they even mispel words! I like getting them because it gives me something to read (hell, something to DO) when I'm at my dad's and I can read up on new upcoming stuff and see how much is BS...for instance, last month they had a "Son of Supra" article that made it sound like Toyota was coming out with a new Supra, and showed a "whorrible" concept as to what the thing acually could be that was in the pictures of the Toyota going around the Nurburgring...not a week or so later, Toyota released the actual pictures of what turned out to be the LF-A, FAR different from what was supposedly to come from Toyota..

I remember that letter that you read, it was from a GVR4 owner, and he too seemed quite knowledgable. The retards at C&D/MT insisted that they were right, and despite how obvious in the comparos who the winner is, they still give the award to BMW/Porsche/new F-150 (originally they said the Titan was...then changed their minds and said the F-150 was?! Wtf?!)

The new Z51 suspension package C6 vs. the Carrera S...cheaper and faster, but of course they chose the Porsche!

Eventually, just like my Import Tuner subscription, I may just not recieve either anymore...this leaves only Sport Compact Car, which overall seems a bit more "rookie" and less "professional" however is more appealing overall to me by far.
