Dan has gotten featured in Car Craft! Dec 2011 issue

Crongrats Dan! Lucky guy, he has sponsorship from Hotchkiss, along with being the first B-body Mopar to get a suspension prototyped on his Road Runner... and lots of magazine coverage http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/dan-is-getting-magazine-coverage-like.html

and I first posted about him when I met him here in San Diego's Qualcomm stadium where he was having fun autocrossing with thte SCCA http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/03/never-thought-id-find-time-to-get-to.html

Dan has gotten a blog post on Hot Rod, due to his great car, hard driving, and luck with a wheel company that will be featuring his Road Runner in their booth at SEMA!
http://blogs.hotrod.com/sema-preview-track-driven-roadrunner-15295.html which has a well written run down of the features of the Road Runner, and what the new rims look like (damn nice!)

Good looking rims! Here they are on the RR, photo from that Hot Rod Blog post

letter of the month (ought to be), Automobile Magazine's newest issue

It's funny. I like that the writer looked up the phrases to get the stats... and that he called the magazine editor for such lazy damn writing. I knwo that a snappy title seems like a great idea, but not when it's so cliche.

Magazine journalists selling out

The Truth About Cars Edward Niedermeyer says "the pimpatorial game is becoming more subtle and cites the participation of Jean Jennings and her Automobile Magazine staff in one of Ford's sock puppet TV commercials.
(read more about that here: http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/158739/  which is fair about telling both the pro and con of this new ad campaign and how it relates to media and car companies that try for their praise) Tried to find that video... no luck, becuase there are dozens of  "Doug the Sock Puppet, Ford" videos on you tube, and Automobile.com doesn't have any.

He also criticizes Motor Trend boss Angus MacKenzie's "Subaru-funded
 adventure of personal discovery" that was featured in both his publication and Subaru's Drive Magazine. He says, about the new trend away from straight out testimonials, "to paraphrase Homer Simpson, I like my beer cold, my meat red, and my sell-outs shameless." How about entertaining or interesting?

Magazine review: Old Cars Weekly (Great content and variety, but nothing in color)

Wow, lots of cool content;

Vintage ad of the week

Wreck of the week

Impressive coverage of the big auctions

Concours De Elegance coverage
Feature car coverage

Bad news though? No color photos, just color ads, it's half classifieds, and the annual cost (but keep in mind this is for 5 times as many issues as monthly magazines) is double to triple what I pay for most of the dozen subscriptions ($32 for 52 issues vs $15 for 12 issues)... that aren't half classifieds, are all color, and have many more feature car stories.... black and white entertainment became archaic over half a century ago. Might as well daily commute on a horse as read a black and white magazine.

Good news? What they have is really damn good, and they have a hell of a lot of good stuff on the internet too. Several blogs from their subscribers? or staff... news, events, and readers cars plus lots more

a new magazine you might want to get a copy of, (Car Craft) Elapsed Times (as in the late 60's to the early 70's) Here is a quick look at the impressive contents

 Double page awesome photos

 Fantastic panoramic photos or the scene around the drag strips

 A collage of the lettering

 And vintage advertising

 I've already posted great full size images of these Scat Pack advertisements

 M&;H advertising... but they missed one http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/06/hot-rodding-icon-companies.html

A variety of photos from a blog about Hollywood celebs of 1920-1960 and their mansions and homes

The movie set for the Hunchback of Notre Dame 1924

President Taft, 1909 tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood

 it's a two door... not very commonly seen, and looks small

This horse and buggy were abandoned when the horse died. No one ever came back for the buggy, or to dispose of the horse carcass.... that is mighty strange

"Van Go" the most talked about van in years, and Coby, the publisher and photographer of one of the few awesome independant magazines

 It's a 2 year project, and this year was it's debut. Not just the coolest van we'll see for years to come, it's also a travelling office so Coby can display and sell hie magazines and t-shirts at car shows

None of the woodwork inside has any right angles. It's very smooth and pleasant to contemplate it's looks and use

his website http://www.carsnotculture.com/ 

 I've got 3 or 4 of these, and they are worth the money, just terrific photography. The one on the lower left is made up of photos taken at Fremont dragstrip between 1960-1964 by his dad, and stuffed away in a showbox in his dad's garage for 40+ years. That is family treasure.

Coby was given the front AND back of the newest issue of Rod and Kulture. effing awesome! Run out and buy a copy quick, you'll love it, and the photos throughout the magazine are far better than anything I've taken, quite a few are professional photos taken in studios. Perfect work. Enjoy!

Garage Style Magazine, I just learned of it, and after reading through the newest issue, recommend it. (Car guy stuff through and through)

In the above issue, I was enjoying the article on the Irish car makers and oldest car maker in Ireland (Peare Motor Works) and oldest traffic light, the Speedway Brewing Company near Olympia Washington, Denny's collection, Frank's collection, Larry's collection, John's Porsche collection, Michael's Corvette collection, Jon's collection, news on car shows like the Muckenthaler, the art work of Rick Rucker http://www.drawingcarsiseasy.com/, Booker, and Lambert, the photography of Dean Graham, and a good bio profile of the founder of the Amelia Island Concours, Bill Warner. Plus 5 book reviews I haven't seen anywhere else (Chrisman Legacy and others) plus a garage design company article.

Chock full of awesome garages, collections of petroliana and automobilia, garage art, hood ornaments, advice on garage floors, wall art, garage designs, doors, etc etc, car collections and how that has changed peoples garages (expansion!)

Some famous museums (Mullins!) and work shops too. Check it out when you have reading time, because this isn't a short attention span captioned photo type magazine, this has great writing without all the stats and facts of cars, this magazine tells the stories of the people that desired more that a place to put their stuff, they made great garages! (you can find an issue at Borders or Barnes and Noble) Enjoy! http://www.garagestylemagazine.com/home
