True, but it still can be a fun mag to read. Way to many advertisements. 50% of the mag content is advertisements!

...and the sad part is, those advertisers pay a TON of money for those ads.

They don't get HALF the exposure that we offer, they pay tons more, and you can't click on a magazine page to go right to a website...

Someday, they'll learn that NICO is the place to be.

strange enough, that's the mag that introduced me to the concept of drifting.

way back in '99 when I was still in high school, no lie, Johnny Chang went to Japan and got some ride alongs with guys in Skylines and what not. In the same issue that had some of the Signal guys (I think it was them) bring in a couple of 86's and let them loose on the CHP training area.

I saw the outside and figured someone would jump out and say, "Superstreet! Now in 100% pure authentic manga format! See its JDM!"

Poor execution though. Didn't see any page numbers and the text still starts on the Left of the page, which means your eyes have to move to the center of the mag and then outward to read correctly. Ouch my eyes hurt.

Doesn't make it cool.

Bunch of self-absorbed morons - How many times can they mention themselves in a car magazine? Anybody else notice this?

The guys from SCC think they're rock stars. :rolleyes
