Yeah,most of the crowd over at Pro-Touring.com think Hot Road's editor is an idiot and likes to stir up sh*t,just to get a reaction. Every trend has its bozos,though. Personally,I want a car that can do more than just go fast in a straight line. Can't say I've ever seen a trailered protouring car,yet. If you see mine on one,it's because it's either broke or stolen.
