Grizzly Automotive Columnist to Shock World By Naming Crappy Boring Car His Car of the Year
Ornary automotive columnist James Taft
War-weary, crotchety old-timey automotive writer James Taft plans to shock readers by naming a plain and boring family car as his “2009 Car of the Year” in an unofficial ceremony to be held in his monthly column.
“You may find it bland, but you’d be missing the point. This car is the pinnacle of family-oriented engineering and design. It can take your kids and their sports gear one day, looks class enough for a night out with your wife, and delivers a surprisingly not-so-bad driving experience,” Tate will say in defense of his choice.
Hachette Filipacchi media has already beefed up its servers to handle the slew of “You are such a dumbass Tate, that’s just a stupid family car. HOW CAN YOU LOOK PAST THE CAMARO” comments from readers.
Taft’s last column recounted his wild experiences driving a Saab 92 on an epic road trip in the 1960s.
