I was so pissed when Car and Driver let him go. By far one of the best automotive writers EVER.

> Brock Yates is one of the more divisive figures in automotive journalism. In fact, we feel like a redundant dunce in even saying that, but whatever. Still, we were really shocked when Sweet Peet D. mentioned that Csaba Csere had let Yates go. To us,...
> “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.”
They then gave Brock’s monthly editorial space to Aaron Robinson, who completely sucks balls.
