Re: [Chrysler300] Old Cars Inaccuracy

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OCW doesn't want to get in the middle of this. So they were vague, probably
because Don P. was also vague as to the car's provenance.

When we read an article in a magazine, club publication or whatever, we
assume that what we are reading is factual and accurate and it has been
fact-checked to that end. If an error has been made, we would expect that
the publication would correct it shortly thereafter. It's called
credibility.

Publications that have been proven to lack credibility are ignored and
discarded by me. I stopped reading Cars & Parts years ago because of all the
inaccuracies that I was finding in their articles. Publications that hype
auction results and report the selling price with commissions included to
make it appear that a car sold for more than it did also have no room in my
life.

Just my 2¢.
