The best auto journalist of our time, Leonard J.K. Setright, would never stoop so low. If he belittled someone, they wouldn't even know he'd pulled it off unless they first consulted an Oxford Dictionary, a Roget's Thesaurus and a tenured English professor.

This is just one reason I'd rather read one British CAR magazine rather than a dozen magazines focusing on how to install A-pillar gauges, yellow brake drums, mating-call stereos and 7-inch tailpipes on a Civic.
i agree...as someone who enjoys writing i believe that you can see exactly a person's character though their words.

I think it has to do with the image that comes with car racing, like it's a macho thing to be into cars.
