Satch Carlson writes for Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car now.
HSEC is a good magazine - don't let the "exotic" in the name put you off like
it did me, for many years. About 98% of the magazine is dedicated to real cars
that real people drive, just like ours. Most of the cars they're writing
about are in the price range that working people can afford, or at least
aspire to own. They write about micro cars, fiberglass-bodied modified cars,
unique variants, classic Japanese and European cars and, yes, once in a while
they write about one of those six-figure Italian cars.
This month's cover story was "Sports car stimulus: big fun for less than
$7,500." Among the cars was the MGB ($4,995) and the Triumph Spitfire ($6,995
for a minty '67) and the Mazda RX7 ($3,375).
