Well the GRM are all about racing on a budget. Comfort means little to
them. But I have to take issue with your remarks about them.
I've had a subscription for 3 years now. And I've pretty much quit reading
the mainstream car mags. As much as I like Ferrari's and Porsche's, having
nothing but reviews of supercars is not useful. R&T is so extremely
predicatable.
GRM does what an average person could do. Ok, they went a little nuts on the
RoSpit, but they show you useful things on a budget. Not cars that cost more
than my house.
