Has anyone else picked it up?

I just got one and im liking what im seeing...theres a great article on ECU tuning, and how to talk your way out of a ticket, not to mention a lot of tastfully modded rides, including the volvoS80 on the cover.

IMO, it looks like a perfect mag for those that are out or over the flashy import lifestyle and just want to kick back but still want the finger on the tuning pulse, theres no eye piercing paint, vynl, or street illegal rides here, just nice cars that have been "enchanced" for the driver's taste but still has the daily everyday look to them.

only negitive thing is it kinda goes off the road with the trendy fashion stuff. other then that i think its generaly less "brgiht" then the other tuner nags oin the shelf, ( Sport Compact Car is still the best one IMHO)

I really can't stand it. It seems like a half-assed magazine. It's supposed to be more "upscale", but not "luxery" upscale. The cars are less unique than half the cars in the parking structure at my work. The articles are trying too hard to be 'trendy'. It's a car magazine trying to be a fashion magazine, but without the refined nature of a fashion magazine.

ive never seen the magazine, but i think we need a lil bit of that

seems like they just need to refine the magazine a lil, but the idea seems good
