Regular TTAC readers may have noticed a slowdown in our publishing cadence of late. Fear not, dear readers, TTAC has not lost it’s passion. Rather, we are victims of our own success. Rather than being stuck at our computers, TTAC’s editors are hitting the road more than ever to bring the in-depth insight and quality stories that set us apart from other car blogs. We know that you visit TTAC for our quality reporting and analysis, rather than for our speed or search engine optimization. Accordingly, we thank you for demanding quality auto writing and we beg your patience when things slow down as we chase the big stories. Rest assured any slowdowns will be made up for with even bigger stories. In many ways, TTAC is only just hitting its stride. So hang tight in the back seat, and thanks for allowing us to achieve our true potential.

Good to know. I was starting to worry Baruth’s extracurricular activities had caught up with him.
Forget that, I just want to know if the Town Car is fixed!
Seriously though, good to know. Keep up the good work guys.
Jack Baruth will live to be 95 years old and then die in bed… shot by a jealous husband.
I actually have been up all night having a pretty big party at my place. Good times, gorgeous women, Sheptone Tributes through a Mesa Mark V, and twenty steaks cooked by my house chef Carl.
The TC is unfixed as of right now. I’m kind of enjoying the effect its damaged visage has on would-be left-lane dawdlers.
I’m still happy, I’m still here. Quality not quantity. Plus it will be easier to get caught up if I can’t get to this site for a day or two. :)
Exactly. I agree!
Emphatic +1!
It’s “its”, not “it’s.” It’s driving me crazy, really it is.
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt of being foiled by iPhone auto-correct.
Let’s just hope that wasn’t thumb-typed while drivin’!
Enough apostrophe’s for y’all?
Well, we’re never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy

(that’s for making me think of Henry Kissinger every time I hear Muskrat Love, you, you, smart person you! :) )
I’ll go for some Crazy one-upmanship.

Just what I needed: Yet another reason to dislike Apple products.

No red-blooded American male has any reason to listen to “Muskrat Love.”
Perhaps this might help with the “it’s” problem.
@Pch101: +1
Sorry Ed; just ask yourself what letter(s) the apostrophe is (are) substituting for, and you’ll get it right every time. If the answer is “nothing”, then don’t use one.
Spelling nits aside, I hadn’t noticed a decrease in story count, and certainly not in content. Keep up the great work.
@Pch101
If that doesn’t work, this will.
I don’t have an iPhone, but I seem to have heard that an iPhone will automatically place the apostrophe in “it’s” during typing of a text, on the assumption that it appears more frequently than “its”; if so, future generations of the phone will be smarter and will decide correctly from context.
Oh, I think it’s safe to say from the above comments: We ain’t goin’ anywhere!
The same goes for me!
If you’re the best in the business, you’re not going to lose your readers.
I have a colossal ego…PUBLISH MAH STUFF!!! :-)
I didn’t want to be the first, but now that Sajeev has broken the ice, yeah, what he said.
20 minutes.
Sent from my HTC on the Tokyo subway … Its hot …
I’m afraid my ego wouldn’t allow me to admit in public that I’m taking public transport in Tokyo instead of driving.
(Even though I’d be on the subway, too, heh.)
Bertel, can we expect a rider’s report, or was “Its hot”, it?
my ego wouldn’t allow to admit that I’m using anything but public transport in Tokyo. Cars are being used to get out of town.
Thanks Bertel, of course I was also writing that in jest.
I had kinda wondered why the slower than normal, even on the weekend dribble of postings… …Now I know.
Keep it up!
I learn something from this site virtually every day.
I definitely will take quality over quantity, don’t be like other sites that put up news very quickly but often without checking for accuracy and stuff like that. Frequently with bad grammars and spellings as well!
I may be in the minority, but to me Sajeev has the most interesting articles on this site. I’m tired of seeing headlines about Saab’s eventual fall.
+1 I’m not down-voting the industry analyses and more lofty goals, but please don’t sacrifice the simpler undertakings because you think all of us have refined tastes.
I come for the articles I can connect with or learn from. Brendan McAleer’s review of the Mazda3 was fantastic – I’ve missed that level of excitement since Lieberman left. Murilee Martin’s Impala Saga reminded me a little of the Autobiography series – I don’t see this type of story anywhere else. I also never miss an article by Sajeev, Steven or Karesh because I consistently learn from them.
You appeal to a low-brow knuckle-dragger like me because you do the basics better than anyone else. Please don’t lose sight of this while achieving your full potential.
They all have good articles. It just depends on what you’re looking for.
There is a large contingent that would hate to see Saab go the way of the dodo bird, especially in Canada, and the guys at ttac wouldn’t write about Saab if there was no demand for it. They can tell from the number of hits each article gets what people read.
The less you post the less I go through the angst of having to jump many headlines due to lack of time, potentially missing out on a great article. For me, less is more!
Oh Ed, please fix your its. I know, auto-correct is a pain.
Hmmm – maybe you need some more writers! You know, to keep the home fires burning.
Tis all good Edward. We’re not going anywhere :)
Me either.
Don’t worry Ed, my tolerance of other motoring websites is not very high. One of the things that brings me back to TTAC again and again is the fact that you engage with your audience rather than just shout them down or belittle them. Keep up the good work.
