I agree with all of Bill=E2=80=99s comments about AutoWeek. I have been a s=
ubscriber going back to the early Competition Press days.  I like interesti=
ng articles. Jay Leno is a welcome contributor.=20
I don=E2=80=99t care for all the AutoWeek car evaluations of boring cars. T=
hey don=E2=80=99t need to over focus on supercars but I=E2=80=99d like them=
 to take a pass on mini-vans and pick-up trucks.
Another thing I have issue with is the fact that they still use the name =
=E2=80=9CAutoWeek=E2=80=9D when the publication comes out twice per month. =

I am a long time subscriber to AUTOWEEK.  I always read the weekly competit=
ion section, and then I quickly scan most of the rest of each issue.  That =
quick scan has gotten even quicker recently as I think AUTOWEEK too is suff=
ering with transition issues, not unlike those of the Peter Egan-less ROAD =
& TRACK.

=20

Anyway, the current (March 7th) edition is really different with a bunch of=
 hands on, DIY articles.  Some good articles, including one by Jay Leno abo=
ut finding knowledgeable parts sales people.  Jay knows his onions, and tha=
t's no surprise.  Another interesting article is about a 94 year old Kustom=
 Kar builder of the George Barris ilk.  In fact his shop is right down the =
street from George Barris's old place.  The guys still goes to work every d=
ay, and says he will until the day he dies.  Still works with lead (for God=
's sake).  Not an engineer.  He does not work from drawings.  But building =
custom convertible top mechanisims is a specialty he is known for.  He is m=
entoring a grandson in what's becoming a lost art.

=20

Like I say...an interesting edition of AUTOWEEK.
