Title: Motor Trend September 2009 picture on PCCA home page

I couldn't believe my eyes  :surprised: when I logged on to the site - two of my seemingly unrelated favorite things combined in ONE image - the Beverly Hillbillies in a Pinto!!!  Thanks for sharing, Scott!  I'll get my own copy (despite the "unflattering article" and GM flag) as soon as I can get to a store!

Got my copy Friday - I would say "not flattering" is an understatement!  In a single article, they managed to insult both my all-time favorite TV show and one of my collector cars!  Further into the issue, they also insulted my daily driver (blamed Chrysler's bankruptcy on it) and referred to my mother's new car as a "zombie luxury car".  Reminds me why I don't subcribe to Motor Trend!  I'm MUCH happier with my Hemmings Motor News and Pinto Times subscription.

P.S. - It was still worth the cost of the issue to get an original of the 'Beverly Hillbillies in the Pinto' picture.  I'm going to cut it out and frame it... then I have to decide whether to display it with my Beverly Hillbillies memorabilia collection or with my Pinto collection.  I think I'll shred the rest of that miserable piece of garbage.

M/T has always been a front for PR hacks
