these are things i would have said to steves face had i had the guts.his thinking is so backwards. like while i worked there he said we couldn't put anymore suv's on the cover truck and green trucks are no longer allowed on the cover. that doesn't make any sense. sorry for ranting=)

haha thats some absurd shit right there.

^ how about putting something on the cover that is not "trendy as hell". catch the eye of someone other than the "typical" minitrucker fan base!

I guess you figured screw the subscribers, we already have them give them the basic looking covers, isn't that advertisement for ya, minitruckers will buy the mag for what is in it, not the flashy cover, you would think that the people that shell out the cash for the 1 and 2 year subscriptions that they would at least get the better looking covers? Shows you what the editors think about those that are willing to pay forward for a magazine.

??? What? The subscribers do get the cool covers???

BTW this is in no way to turn into a hate thread bashing anything or anyone or how things are done or where your subscribtion is in the mail. This is mearly information about two different cover styles per issue. Keep it postive guys!

yeah i cant complain about MT. i could careless which cover i get. either is fine with me. just thought it was funny bout the green truck deal.

what do we know, eh?

Everyone's a critic

I guess I don't understand this one at all? Why would you "rule" out mini vehicle just because it's an Suv or it's green? I understand not putting cars on their but I don't get it? I guess it would suck to have a green suv huh?

MT rocks doesn't matter what color the letters on the cover are or the color of the truck, as long as I see sweet rides and ground breaking builds in it, I'll continue to buy it!
