Default Import Tuner

I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it or not but there are a couple minor photos of the sc300 in the most recent issue of import tuner. The article wasn't about the car specifically. It just mentioned a recent event and happened to have a couple shots. Just figured that I'd voice that at o'dark thirty in my moments of boredom.

Yep, did see it. There is also an SC on the turd show LA Street Racing. It's on the side of the road while people are doing donuts and what not. The car is white and lowered on some wheels and I think I've seen it on here before. Also the F&F RX-7 is by the dyno when they tune their slow car (I think the same guy owns the SC).

They are mostly "Sell as many products as we can in advertising" magazines. I do however pick one up from time to time when I see a car featured that I'm interested in.

Idk I don;t mind reading them on a bored day, sometimes they will have a random platform. Other day I saw this hatchback looking protege in there with a BPT swap, which is a jdm turbo swap... a true JDM swap. Pretty cool.

All of those magazines went to crap when Sport Compact Car went away. Is Super Street still around? I couldn't stand reading it - a middle school journalism class could write better than those idiots.

Print media in general is a dead technology. Why would I pay for paper when I have a computer IMO.

I have a subscription to super street. I find enjoyment looking at any modified cars. Clean or over the top. I always like to see what other peoples interpretation of their dream car is.

I'm kinf of there too. I like to see what other people are doing with their cars. How much of it is realistic for a day to day car...Not much. For me, if they have a featured platform, I'll buy it. The most recent issue I saw on the shelf the other night was in relation to a WRX. I passed.
