WHATS UP WITH THE BABY YOU KREEP

I can’t believe I paid AU$8.95 for that piece of crap. Really if that magazine in distributed monthly around the US. Why does it only have half the content of any Aussie or UK equivalent magazine? The articles were quite clinical yet felt incomplete like the rest of the magazine. They were also lacking in humour, took itself too seriously.

Very slack production indeed. Maybe I’m being a bit pre-judgemental, maybe it was a slow news month, I’ve only ever seen the one issue.

first off the GTR is a sweet execution,Nissan needs to be commended for a job well done…their latest version is a new classic.
the DRIVER involved here,was a total screw up….
if I had the means….definately GTR versus VETTE…

Tony,you need a bit more driving school time,you SUCK!!!!
and I am also not renewing my Car and Driver subscription either.
it has slipped bigtime,and I’m not interested in fueling writers, who cant drive consistantly and BLAME THE CAR

Hey, even the Stig has screwed up. Fortunately he dosen’t talk or it would have diminished his mystique, that is if he approached the subject as swan has.
-
I’ve read that race car drivers may blame the car, circumstances, track conditions because admitting their own fault would cause a lack of confidence in themselves.
-
Personally I think that’s bullshit, or at least should be. “Experience” is having screwed up and learned from it at least partly to gain proficiency and status but it does NOT grant immunity from making mistakes.

His worst mistake, fortunately was not admitting his mistakes, and not having injured or killed someone.

Don’t worry, its the car.
ACR is number 1 track car.
10/12 roadcourse 1st finishes evidence enough?
And it would have gottne 1st overall in One Lap if the skidpad wasn’t so heavily weighted.

Tony is just being perceptive. He realizes that his own failure will lead to hesitation by manufacturers in the future to loan out cutting-edge cars and risk having their baby appear substandard as a result of a driving gaffe by a journalist- this just cost Nissan a BUNCH of marketing hype, right or wrong.

Tony is a bright boy- he knew right away that he’ll always be known as “that guy” in the future, and it’s back to getting first-run editions of Cavaliers again………

“Federly! Fries!”

Hehehehh.

Is this the same guy who got thrown out of Road America during the 2006 One Lap for doing donuts on their freshly laid parking lot asphalt, after everyone was told to stay off of it?

I used to love Car and Driver during the 80s and early 90s, but their hyper-consumer anti-environmental rants have really soured me on the magazine and it’s editorial bent. This sort of thing just reinforces my annoyance with what was once the best car magazine out there.

That, and they don’t bother testing many cars that actual people use, instead preferring to devote 90% of their cages to vehicles 1/10 of 1% of drivers will ever pilot.
