Although it featured many how-to articles, the most eagerly awaited and read features were Tom McCahill's monthly automobile tests which ran from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. McCahill's feisty opinions were delivered in a prose laced with similes that are still quoted today among car enthusiasts: "As anyone brighter than a rusty spike must know." ; flooring the accelerator pedal on a certain car is ".like stepping on a wet sponge"; the clock/tachometer combination on another car is ".about as useful as feathers on a moose." McCahill died in 1974, and three years later CBS bought Fawcett Publications, the company which published MI, and continued publishing the magazine, renaming it Home Mechanix starting in January 1985. In August, 1996, it was again renamed as Today's Homeowner, and ceased publication with the March/April issue in 2001, being merged into sister publication This Old House. " (From Wikipedia).
