Automobile Magazine makes a case for driving an Exotic car every day. Maybe Doug isn't as crazy as we all thought he was?

Nah, I'm sure he still is.

I can't even read Automobile anymore, and I was a subscriber for a decade and a half. If David E. saw what happened to his magazine he would come back and punch everyone in the face. And my point was - they probably saw how much traffic it generated and decided it sounded like a good source of clicks.

At least they kept my man Jamie on staff, though Jean and Ezra should still be there amongst others. I canceled my subscription last year. Oppo is more entertaining

/rant, sorta

I think there are a lot of us who would DD and exotic if we had the funds. We're also all crazy.

However, Doug is crazier still. How many of us would buy a first gen Prius or Cube cheap from a friend, just 'cause?

I kind of agree. Ezra moving on is probably the death knell for my subscription too. I already read C/D to begin with. It seems like they're just trying too hard now.

Although nothing beats Maxim. About 6 months ago they changed and became a GQ wannabe. Don't they know their audience is a bunch of overweight middle aged guys, not someone trying to be hip?

Ezra made my day during the snowstorm by reminding me of this

How did I miss that? When did he use a G-Wagen as a plow truck?!

I dd'd my truck for years. It's a '79 and not exotic but in a way it's pretty similar, especially compared to an old exotic. Temperamental carbs. Cold starts suck. Poor gas mileage. Handles like, well, it steers and I managed to drive it pretty quickly through the bends. Little things go wrong all the time. Sounds fantastic. People stare and ask if I wanna sell it.

There is something seriously off about this picture.
