Laurance Yap Laurance Yap is the poster child of the new economy: when he's not being a freelance automotive writer and photographer for CanadianDriver, the Toronto Star, and Driven magazine, he's being one-third of a Macintosh consulting business, works as an art director for several magazines, and is working on the Great Canadian Screenplay. Since he started driving other people's cars for fun and profit, he sees very little of his 1992 Honda Accord, which his 17-year-old brother has hijacked. Maybe it's better that he doesn't see it...
