    does ia sponsor s3 or vice versa in anyway? if so i hate to look like a **** but i think your opinion is useless considering your status within IA. you cant say anything out of the way about s3 if this is the case b/c of the relationship the two entities have. which is understandable, but dont act like its truely unbiased.

    if it isnt then show me a cover feature in the real grassroots magazine, grassroots motorsports, that features a car of that caliber and then we'll talk....theres nothing grassroots about this car, its a terd, plain and simple.

    now what do i want to see out of a magazine? like nemesis says, why cant there be more domestics? crazy swaps? anything but jdm civcs....there are killer cars just in the atlanta area that apparently are skipped over in favor of vehicles like this. i will say though that a car doesnt have to have flawless paint and be of the norm to be featured...im all for different stuff, but this car and that article plain out sucked.

    There is a certain stigmata about domestics that certain people have regarding them. Some are die hard import, and some are die hard domestic, some are die hard stupid. I for one am neither, and personally there are no magazines really out there that cater to both readers. Id like to see a domestic/import magazine. However, I dont see that happening because if they do " the majority of the tards that subscribe will consider they "sold out" as soon as they see a boosted Z06 on the cover. Im just tired of having to subscribe to Modified Mustangs and DSport/ Import Tuner Magazine to get my fix of both worlds.

    A lot of people dont realize, that times are changing fellas. New Gen Muscle Cars are making a come back.

    very true, im more into the hp side of things, but i enjoy a cleanly done car every now and then, and coming from the import side into the domestic side i have a love for all cars, so i can enjoy most anything....

    how about a mix of the two? i vote no rotors ls1 powered fd for the next issue....put it on the cover and ill buy a subscription

    x2 with a 5.0 miata or a fd/ls1. But something to bring imports and domestics in the same mag.

We can see junk like that at any varsity meet or on your local stretch of road and we can probably "guess" as to what mods it already has.

    If you dont buy mags any more because "you cant afford this but you can stare" mentality, you have some personal issues.

    Honestly, if it wasnt for car mags showcasing bad ass rides, I wouldnt have gone through as many stages Ive gone through with all my cars. Personally, mags featuring turds doesnt send the right message either. Might as well include a copy of F&F with every subscription. Or maybe, "A day without a Mexican".

    nope they don't sponsor us and we don't sponsor them... guys at S3 are friends of mine and i like what they do. grassroots mag local to Atlanta you need to support. like it or not we need local companies like this

    like julio said "they are keeping it real"... honestly the feature to was spark sh!t - i know they have a lot of VW readers and the car which is not really my taste i think its kinda refreshing/funny all at the same time. 95% of the import magazines have either civic, 240, 350z, skyline, rx7, supra, etc on cover... um what is new and exciting about a any of those? nothing.

    i think domestics should be on more "import" mags but there are very few worth mentioning on a cover... most dometics are GO not SHOW so they are nothing to look at... that doesn't sell magazines or ad's.
