I came here to see what you all had to say about this and was surprised there wasn't a long thread already.

Yeah, and even at that it never shows up in my mailbox. Hearst just shrugs, and going through the USPS side, I got high enough where they said that this was a major problem with Hearst pubs.

I live in a small town, but never had problems getting postal stuff until C&D. I've been a subscriber for decades, but gonna have to drop them. Tired of paying for nothing.

in the article, they gave 2 different lengths for Manual vs. Auto car. Why?? How??

LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT
180.3 x 74.3 x 55.2 in. (Manual)
179.0 x 74.3 x 55.2 in. (Auto)

Maybe it’s not measurements of the car but of the drivers units in mm

Thus proving manual drivers win the dick measuring contest
