VIP Car 10 year anniversary isue
Picked this up today. A selection of their top picks for the past ten years.
Hard for me to believe that I first saw this mag about late '96 or so. The lust for an LS 400 began about '94 when I first saw one lowered. Didn't think I'd eventually drive one.

Where do you guys get these rags at? I have been to Borders, Barnes and Noble, and even the specialty book stores and NONE of them have it... At least in Tampa.

Have to find a Japanese book store. Many of them will do orders even on singles so long as you are willing to pay. Figure almost $10 per monthly. This anniversary issue got me $25. 
The current December issue of VIP Car has a DVD of some cars. It's a region 2 DVD BTW.
Henry, is VIP Style up there?
VIP Car is in pretty wide distribution. I have to fight to get VIP Style in So Cal. I hope this mag becomes more popular so I don't have to hover at the bookstore when they come in.

well this issue seem to be a lot larger and thicker right? maybe that's why it costs more? and the 10th anni is dec issue or what? i am confused
and yeah i have seen vip style up here before. it depends, sometimes stuff are much more widely available here coz' it's less "demand". but prices here are actually a bit higher.... weird
