1st gen in Automobile 10/10

Reading through the magazine about all the boring Aston Martins and Porsche GT2 RS, ho hum, I was delighted to find an article written by one of the scripts about his '79.

Yeah, life got interesting around copyright infringement for me in the past. I don't laugh about it anymore.

Man - I remember when Sherman bought and modded that SA in the _original_ article... for Car & Driver, I think. That must have been in late 79. Yike! I'm old!

for laughs I sent a letter-to-the-editor, telling Sherman to _shut-up!_ and quit telling the world what great cars these are; everyone will want one! The guy can not keep a secret...
