HE was a photographer and writer for Year-One.   He is also a 
curmudgeon that makes Smitty look like Mother Theresa.

Actually it's his own website, where he certainly can be his own 
boss.    Of course, unless the average web cruiser specifically 
chases down his comments, it's pretty much a given that nobody is 
gonna read what he has to say.

No need.   With his attitude, nobody in HR at any publication that 
has any sort of style or class is gonna hire this character.

I kinda doubt he's gonna care...   ;)

He hates everyone and everywhere.

Actually, I can kinda respect his Impala...  Q-ship if there ever was 
one.   Looks like something straight out of the Cruise era of 
Williamson Road here in Roanoke VA, the likes of the early '70s.

Too late.    He doesn't work for Year-One anymore, far as I know.   I think.

No, I'd imagine a Vega.   This guy wouldn't be caught dead in a Ford.

Heh...

What a pat'oq!


The guy also has no clue about Corvairs other than what's been 
spouted by the bandwagoneers who feel the compulsion to denigrate 
every and anything they can.


I take solace in knowing that this guy is gonna grow old alone and 
whither away in solitude because by the time he's pissed off everyone 
he ever knew, nobody is gonna care.   ;)
