^^^^^^ AGREEEE >>> like my old scion no frame so not in the same class as a blazer etc... but was very mt inspired....i still think times are changing and people are building mintruck inspired rides that are not trucks AND ARE NOt RICED OUT EITHER.. i mean alot of minitruckers are also into "ratrods" and alot of them are cars as well.. so i say as long as its in the lifestyle of minitrucking it should be cool... AND YES NO BOATS AND CAMPERS...LOL.. i mean i hate to say it again. but is it just me or some of the biggest mt clubs out here have some clean mt style cars.. including our own club.. so i say we need to make a spot for these rides as well...

How would some of you guys feel if guys starting saying things like, "it's okay to put Toyota's in Minitruckin', as long as they don't have giant bodykits and neon lights, and wings on the bed" ???

Sounds silly huh?

Well, that's exactly how it sounds when you guys say it's okay to add cars to the magazine as long as they don't have that stuff...it's insulting to Mike Alexander and all the other guys that run the mag. Do you REALLY have THAT little faith in them to put the best stuff out there in the mag? In the end, isn't that what this is about? It's not about throwing cars in for the sake of having a car in there, and it's not about making something mandatory, then you run into the problem of filling "a slot" with a sub-par vehicle. I've been a reader since the mag started, and I've seen a few features over the years that I wondered why it was featured, I'm sure we all have...

I guess my easy take on it is like a few others...

Mike, I trust your judgement...I know if it's not worthy to be in the magazine, you wouldn't even bother...we're talking about cars like Adam's, and Fievel's, and the ones that are pushing things.

P.S. Dough - no offense to you bro, you were just the last guy mentioning it.

Everybody is complaining about cars being in Mini Truckin, Yet a colorado is a mid size truck, frontier is a mid size truck, tacoma is a mid size truck,etc etc. What kind of a mini is a Scion xb?? Is Mini Truckin going to set new standards??? No mid size trucks either? All these vehicles spawn from the same love of cars weather it is a truck or car does not matter, if its clean and respectable whats the difference?

wade i never thought i'd say this but - i totally agree with you haha right on.

some say some cars are minitruck inspired? i mean really, what is that? clean is clean and ugly is ugly, some have style, some dont. low is the way to go, thats it. i say do it cause u know 90% of true minitruckers can appreciate a clean car. later

Hell, these days.....I see more clean ass cars being built than minis.
