Frankly I haven't read it very much for the past 5-6 years or so, but in the previous 20 or so years it always struck me as rag that praised almost every car reviewed and didn't allow nearly as much understanding of the car that was being reviewed as C&D, R&T, or Automobile. Mostly, it just seemed that they had the approach, "If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all" -- just seemed like a guaranteed positive write-up as if they were there to drive sales for their advertisers.

Maybe they are different now, but I did read part of an article yesterday on the Corvette, Viper, and GT500 -- this article, but in the actual magazine:
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...an_rockets_vrt .

I almost puked from an overdose of the flowery writing -- goofy BS like, the thunderous caucauphony of eight massive cylinders bomarding the atmosphere with cannon-like blasts..... blah blah blah.... It just seems like they are trying waaaay too hard to make an impression. I couldn't even read the article. The cars are have only 500 HP. That isn't an atom bomb, and I'm way too old to be impressed by words that seem to be written by someone who writes as if they've never been in a car faster than mom's V6 Camry. I guess they gotta try to excite the masses or something, but jeeze.....

Where do you purchase them? Ripping them off must hurt....Rosie in leather scares me and makes me giggle at the same time.

Rock - if you really wanna know, do a google search. I just did for you and apparently even Amazon sells 'em.

yesterday to do a Monday after Thanksgiving segment on the self parking feature. We had a customer taking delivery of his new LS460L and he agreed to let us use his for the demonstration. There was an amazed look on their faces when I raised my hands like it was a holdup and the LS parked itself. We did both types of parking but the parallel type is easier to plot on the screen. This car has such a small turning circle and the 8" Nav display with high resolution in reverse along with the Sonar sensors that parking it is a breeze even without the Advanced assist. But it is good show and tell.....

I have order my nipple covers, Thanx.
