is your car
fully built
-exterior
-interior
-engine bay
-won car shows
-done some time attack
-won time attack event
-autocross
-won autocross events
-drag racing
-put down impressive numbers
-been to several car shows
-unquire blend of parts(custom made stuff or otherwise)
if you have not done any of that stuff constantly then you have nothing to offer the mag by giving you a feature so you will not make a mag at all maybe the last page like somebody stated earlier. you cant just build a average car and expect to land one. has to be unique in some way or known by several of those means i listed. This how do i get sponsors and land mag question are getting old and stupid if all you do is drive you car and put average mods on it your just another car to them. You have to stand out thats the key. start doing what i listed above hardcore and get really really good at it then you will see the sponsors mag come in. also helps to have custom parts made etc but not required

Spend money aimlessly on expensive aesthetic modifications that don't necessarily improve performance and make sure they all have a recognizable brand names that are best known for throwing large, gawdy stickers on cars while an average looking, scantily clad female is draped clumsily across the hood.

Rockmanx whats up, long time no hear. No but sadly i have to disagree with you brother. Readers rides you dont need to have all that. I do agree with you if you want like a big article of your ride, then of course your right. But if someone just wants the joy of saying hey my car is in this mag in the readers ride section, then you dont. I have seen cars with just intake, exhaust, maybe some wheels and a drop, and they get it in there. It is good for the moral of people. Then there are months where they do like military readers rides. And ive seen cars in there from my city, and im like okay that is cool, ive seen that car. Its all moral brother, and yeah it does help getting the car noticed out there. Like as of right now, the way my car sits, id love to try and get it in a readers ride. Now your car rockman of course can make for a good article in a mag, as i know the custom stuff you have done to your car. But me, im a readers ride section kind of guy right now due to funds lol. Family comes before my car u know what im saying.

so why not try and get into a magazine? I would see it as another check of my list, I will probably getting my car ready for a magazine submission in not too long, but the way your saying it makes it seem like either we are all old or our cars are gonna blow up lol. I've had 2 evos since I was 16 , now i'm 20 and all I have as far as future cars is higher up the ladder. So ya the evo is a great car but shoot I don't have the mind set live for this one car lol I want more !
