In High School, I read my brother's R&T and his Autoweek (loved Satch
Carlson). When I went off to college, I got my own subscription. And for the
next 15 years or more, I read it. For many years, cover to cover.
Slowly over time, I found I was reading less and less. Finally, I found that
Egan was the only reason to read the magazine. When one of your writers
didn't even own a car, it's a sign.
If you don't own a car, you can't know anything about it. Driving a different
brand new thing every day has nothing to do with cars.
I ended that subscription, and started up Grassroot's Motorsports. Eventually,
I crossed over to Classic Motorsports, since I don't really race. Lately,
I've migrated back to Autoweek. I'll probably let Classic run out.
These articles are great. I remember resolving to read 'Side Glances' online
every month. I usually get maybe 2 a year. Just never think about it.
