Spotter's Guide To The March 2014 Road&Track

I'm nominally on leave from my various paid engagements at the moment, so the only thing you'll see in R&T was something I wrote before I was injured. Still, it's significant, at least to me. I've used the title "Avoidable Contact" for my miscellaneous writing about the auto business for six and a half years now, starting with Dubspeed Driven (now S:S:L) and moving to TheTruthAboutCars after I took up residence there. Now I've moved it yet again --- but this time's slightly different.

The "Avoidable Contact" editorials have typically been fairly weighty, between two and four thousand words and often rambling across a few different topics. In the magazine, they'll be much shorter, quicker, and less introspective. I suppose I'll need a new name for the long-form stuff. Feel free to suggest it.
