Mike...



thanks for your vote relaxed!!!

spicy, think what you're saying. if mini-cars are "striving" to get into MT, isn't that the same damn thing as "a taco in a mag full of bombs"...

here is another vehicle that definately deserved a feature

There was a Lowrider publication called "Lowrider EURO" that was out about 8 years ago that featured laid out cars (hondas, Mitsus, chevys, fords, dodges, toyotas). It was basically minitruckin' but all cars. I loved that magazine. it was put together really well, but it was hard to find. then it just disappeared. I've seen it pop up hear and there as "Lowrider EDGE" but with Ferraris and lambos and bentlys inside. Might be a good idea to contact the Lowrider mag publisher and show some mini-inspired car support there and get that type of mag back since they ran one before. Heres some pics from old-ass issues"



They even covered shows like forbidden.http://www.lowrideredge.com/events/0308lre_forbidden_fantasy_show_shine/

I'd love to see a car related mini truckin' side issue in a plastic wrap once a year maybe though. Basically like the yearly calender, but a miniature car mag.

i think its funny that people get so belt out of shape about this topic. one car a month would be nice, i think people would bitch and cry if they printed 2 though. and come on guys, you know a mag with just mini-inspired cars would last like 6 months cause they would run out of cars to print and the quality would be in the shitter cause all the badass ones have been printed. i might have missed it but they ran that juiced XB a few months ago and i didnt see a thread of guys crying about it like i figured. everybody should chill out and let mike print ONE car a month just to change it up a bit. man i get a issue of mini truckin in the mail and i swer it was the same as last month but with i different cover.

having Mini Syle cars in mini truckin would be like putting Full Size trucks in the magazine. They have the same style. I say no features, maybe a Mini Trunk of the month

those are all raw cars and ive like everycar thats been in m/t wasnt that green eclipse in m/t but i think the one a month feature for cars is great as long as its an addition to the truck features and not taking away from the few trucks that get featured and next to m/t and tailgate i used to always have to get those lowrider euro mags due to all the cool ideas and crazy mods they done my first ride at 13 i bought a celica and slammed and shaved it due to that mag but i never tried to get them to do truck features..........so i say if its really worthy enough it will be in m/t just like any truck ..........and ADAM i saw your car in m/t and had no problem it screams m/t and is sic ......btw i love the pic layouts and backgrounds in lowrider euro

Minitrucker is an obsolete term. I'm a "minitrucker" but im not just a minitrucker. I like cars,badass boats, bicycles,rc cars and a whole mess of other crap too.

name one mini truck club that doesnt have a "mini inspired" car in it. Name one...

Low Rollers. All trucks all the time...

HOWEVER, this is not my choice, I LOVE mini-inspired cars (not necessarily the Cadillac/Rat Rod bandwagon that everyone has jumped on) but the Hondas, Crown Vics, etc. that people have been doing for years finally could use some love.

why dont the "car" people try to get a magazine going?........

I think they have more than a few out there already. Performance auto and sound,sport compact car and at least 10 other "car" mags are out there for the car guys and gals. There is only 1 minitruck mag, lets keep it for the trucks. Also, There are several 4X4 mags for the 4 wheelers and other specific mags like super chevy for the camaro guys and mustang mags for the mustangs. I dont see any minitruckers saying I think a minitruck should be in sport compact car. Its sort of rediculous and isnt going to happen.

I am not knocking any of you guys or your cars. I have built too many cars to list, mostly vw's and hondas but never expected to see one in MT.

Maybe it's me, but Minitruckin's number of pages has been dropping over the past few years, and the cars we're talking about use the same parts, do the same things, and roll with the same clubs (Still waiting to hear about a major club with no cars in it)...and for those that haven't noticed, Mike's been squeezing AT LEAST a car a month in the show coverage. Now, if we're good enough for the parts, the clubs, the shows, and the rest of the lifestyle, why aren't we good enough for a feature every once in a while? I'm NOT saying take a feature away from a truck...I'm saying drop two extra pages in there, with a car taking up some, and drop a few ads in there for the rest. ANYTHING to give us MORE MINITRUCKIN while keeping it WITHIN the "lifestyle". Adams car, Fievals car, the wagon on here, and many others...we're right there with the lifestyle...let Minitruckin grow!
