Buckle Backlash
As always I found [the magazine] to be very informative and entertaining. BUT, I was a little disappointed in your ad for car insurance (March/April, page 18). The ad depicts two young adults NOT wearing their seat belts...not a great message for an organization that prides itself on safe motoring!
 
I do want to thank you though, for all the wonderful service and benefits we have received from our AAA membership over the years including the tow service I received today! The driver could not have been any more helpful and courteous!!

Page 18 in the March/April 2008 Highroads magazine has an extremely irresponsible photo of two people about to encounter a traffic accident.  Wearing seatbelts is not only the law but an absolute requirement from a safety standpoint.  Depending on the severity of this accident, the two people in the automobile might not be alive to identify themselves or describe the accident.  I really hope that AAA Auto Insurance encourages the use of seatbelts.

It appears that the photo in the magazine (March/April, page 18) showed two passengers that were not wearing seat belts.  Please say it isn't so.

For the last 40 years I have always chuckled at the automobile reviewers that tout the wonders of the jellybeans that are suppose to thrill us.  The onslaught of gadgets and gizmos that permeate today's four wheelers is nauseating. For 42 years I have been a proud owner of a 1966 corvette roadster, new from the get go. It's the epitome of color, class, and character. I can fix anything on it with a screwdriver and a wrench (with my eyes closed). Your glowing review of today’s corvette is funny. Those of us who had our fine choice of automobiles in the 60's remember how great they were.  What comment 40 years from now do you think the culture will have to say about the junk in this one?

I just read your March/April 2008 issue. You claim to consider fuel economy as one of your qualifications, yet not one of your 2008 Top Picks gets over 28 mpg. Pathetic!

Correction
The photo of the fall scene that appeared on page 6 (March/April) should have been credited to Pam Bosch
