Spotter's Guide To The May Road&Track

As is usually the case, I'm the last person in America to get my copy of the magazine in the mail. But this came up on my Facebook tonight, so at least I know they didn't cut me out of said magazine, right? This month's print edition of "Avoidable Contact" is a tribute of sorts to an old friend of mine who has had two strokes since the days described in the story. We had a lot of good times and bought a lot of different cars. At the time, we didn't know that it was going to come to an early end, and maybe we were too blithe, too careless, too confident in the future. So there's a lesson here: nothing's guaranteed, nothing's forever.
