Road and Track was a huge influence in my life. I had a subscription when I was 12 and read it religiously, cover to cover, every word, and over and over. It influenced me to write and to a career that has involved much reading and writing.
I let the subscription lapse many years ago, but recently got a ridiculous offer in the mail (something like 3 years for $8), so I gave it another try.
Holy *****. Just horrible. Just like you guys have said, so amateur. Layout etc I don't care about so much, but the writing is so poor. Where did they get these guys ( Jack Baruth and these other no names)? These guys are very amateur, no where near what you'd expect from a (former) powerhouse like RT.
Someone needs to tell them that linking a bunch of worn out automotive cliches does not make you an automotive writer.
Fortunately 15% of the magazine is now made up of weather tech floor mat ads, which make for better reading than the articles.
