Anyone who grew up in Chicago should know that the only decent
Chicago newspaper Automotive writer is Dan Jedlicka from the Chicago
Sun-Times. This guy seems like he knows how to write a review of a sports
car. He realizes that he is testing a "sports car" and not the family
minivan.
Does anyone know if he still does the yearly performance review of
the local Police cars? It used to include 0-60, slalom and top speed testing
at an undisclosed location. The results are always surprising.
