The joyful noise of the commentariat, rebutted sporadically by Ed. CURRENT AFFAIRS Just received the February/ March issue and saw that Eddie Alterman is listed as interim editor. Please convince (pay) the man to come back full time and save the magazine. Thanking you in advance. —Cannonball Warthen North Myrtle Beach, SC Bravo! Bravissimo! Car and Driver issues may be getting thinner and less frequent, but every article was car-oriented. We got to read about 30 different vehicles! Now that’s progress, Alterman. You know what? Keep my subscription! —Marek Jamul, CA
Okay, regarding February/ March 2022: Wow, what a fantastic return to form. So pleased with the changes, and thank you for the vision and strategy. Everything is where it should be. Looking forward to what’s next! Goddamn, pal, excellent job! —Jim Macdonald Seattle, WA After picking up a copy of a rival, ahem, trendy motor magazine, I realized good writing is so much more important than just getting the bland facts in a flashy layout. I am letting you know I have renewed my subscription for another year. I am expecting you will put the $10 I have sent you to a good pur-
pose. Maybe bring back John Phillips? Or maybe just some K-cups for the break room? Ben Ray California, MO Johnny is back, and we have no rivals; we just won a National Magazine Award—Ed.
LAPLANDERS Lightning Lap XV did not include previous years’ lap times [February/ March 2022]. “Yardstick to gauge progress over time”? Hit me with it, please (don’t say it’s online). —James Mazgaj, MD Florence, SC Okay, doc. Instead of stating the obvious, I’ll cough twice instead—Ed.
