15 April 2006: A Few Words from Brock

Let's set the story straight. Csaba Csere claims I took "early retirement" from Car and Driver. Here's the truth. He came to my home and fired me. He said I was too expensive. A few days later he made me a cheap alternative offer that I refused. My long tenure with the magazine is over. Kaput. A cheap shot that will not be forgotten. That's the way it happened.

Change is necessary and inevitable in any organization, and I'm confident the ones described here will improve Car and Driver in the future. However, change rarely comes without cost. In this case, we had to offer editor at large Brock Yates early retirement, and after a long and rewarding relationship that dates back to the '60s, we parted ways. We wish him well in his future endeavors, and you'll be seeing coverage of Brock's One Lap of America event a few months from now.
