When We Say TTAC Homecoming, We Mean It

Long-time TTAC readers will recall that some time ago, I accidentally became embroiled in a Facebook-wall argument with Motor Trend editor (and TTAC alum) Jonny Lieberman. When Jonny's best friend and boss, Edward Loh, quite sensibly leapt to his defense, I said a lot of mean things that I probably should have just thought quietly to myself. Sometimes I forget that it's not my job to make sure other people adhere to particular standards, ethical, aesthetic, or otherwise. I'll do a better job of remembering that in the future. As part of TTAC Homecoming, I'm featuring one of Jonny's videos. In this episode of "The One", Jonny pretends to be a British auto journalist as he drives the Challenger SRT-8 "Core" around what I think is probably the Streets of Willow. While I will freely admit that this sort of automotive journalism is not for me — the last straw on the proverbial camel's back is probably when Jonny talks about his "good friend" Ralph Gilles, I'm of the opinion that our readers, not the PR people, should be our good friends — it's definitely unique and it's all part of the MT YouTube channel which, I am reliably informed, is the biggest automotive media source in North America.
