Dear Editor/Canadian driver
I really enjoy your website.
How does one get to do an article for canadian driver ?
I don't have any formal training in journalism .
Also how do you get picked to test drive a vehicle it looks like a lot of fun.

An apparent lack of formal training in journalism hasn't stopped the publication of many car magazines I've read.

Oh...a large donation of unmarked 20's might do wonders.

Well said!

Most the members here post their own 'articles' in the forum anyway, which is why I enjoy this site.  Various opinions, sometimes real-world reporting on the cars, sometimes not so much, but usually makes for a good read.

Yes...this is a great site for all the reasons you state Marc

It's one more reason I feel badly about giving Wing the gears on the "bias of the mainstream media" on another thread.
