I just received the Spring 2014 issue and read it cover-to-cover. The articles are all well written, as they were in the prior Winter 2014 issue. In the latter, "America's Most Dangerous Road" by Jeff Wise and "Chopper Support" by Kent Black were especially noteworthy, as the autos involved in the stories, Ford Explorer and Ford F150, etc., were appropriate. They fit their stories. But in this case, "Driving the Keys" by Daniel Byrne, though written well, was less convincing. For one, does one really need to drive a C-Max Hybrid to enjoy the Keys? I did the same trip 10 years ago, driving my 5-year-old Chevy Geo, visiting most of the same places, and enjoyed the trip as much as your writer. That is, the car is really irrelevant to the story. Many motorcycle guys will probably say the same. Now if the trip was taken in a sexy Mustang Convertible with a nice-looking woman as company, the car would be right; it would have made the journey interesting, romantic and exciting enough to highlight the value of the Mustang Convertible on such a gorgeous trip. But a C-Max? Well, OK, perhaps for a retired couple . . .

P.S. I now drive a black 2007 Ford Focus (basic), which, to me, is still the best-looking hatchback of any on the road. (I took it cross-country from Jacksonville, Florida via Interstate-10 to LA to one sister, back via Interstate-70 to my other sister in Virginia., and returned home via Interstate-95. Whatever you do to Focus, keep its shape.
