So Blake's car got a whole spread in NISSAN SPORT MAGAZINE last year... and mentioned: Stillen-Kyle n Josh, Tyler (Shift_Coupe), Robert (Doc Feelgood), Mendi (Mchedaddi), and Brian (me).

I wanted to put together a thread of accomplishments noted in some sort of paper press by the Altima members... If you have ever been spoken about, scan it, n post it!

Back in 1994, I had only been playing videogames for 12 years (My dad got me NES the day it came out, when I was 2 years old). NBA JAM was one of the hottest games out at the time and I spent countless hours trying to figure out a password to a hidden player, then I hit the JACKPOT!

This is the July 1994 GAMEPRO issue (5th anniversary edition) where I am noted in the SWAT section.

They sent me some stickers and a Tshirt for being in the mag.



WHOSE NEXT?

Does my car count even though I didn't own it at the time it was in the magazine?

A few times actually. I was in a local newspaper promoting reading as a kid. Minitruckin' mag answered one of my questions back in 98. I made it into Nissan Sport Mag twice.

HAHA! My wife and I were talking about this just last night!!! Back in HS I would be featured in the news paper quite often as I was a leader/on the board for many student organizations at my HS. I was also in it for sports (Golf/Baseball/Basketball) and maybe 4 times for some artwork. Granted my HS was small (21 in my class, 98 in the HS and 212 in K-12, all in one building) But the newspaper covered maybe 50 some HS over a 3000 Square Mile area.

Anyway, there was a time period during my senior year when I was in the newspaper for roughly 7 straight weeks including one day when I had 5 pictures in one paper. All told, I was in the paper maybe 20-25 different times that school year. I thought it was pretty cool, haha. I will try to find the one time I was in it for an art picture...

EDIT: I just tried to find something through Google and the one result was my Grandma's obichiary (SP? Death writeup) Thanks Brian

I actually got my picture in one of the Nissan Sport mags. I don't remember what the focus of the picture was but I was in it and so was the back of my car. It was during last years Stillen day. I also got on the front and back cover of the 50th anniversary of the mag
