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.

I know there are a bunch of magazines out there, but one with "layed out" cars would be great

Half of those cars are rice rockets, ugly headlight and tailight conversions, overdone interiors and more junk in the trunk then Shanekwa. Some of them having nothing at all done except some suspension work, like that Taurus wagon and Protege 5...

I for one agree CARS SHOULD BE LET IN MT..I don't hear anyone bitchin "what the hell is a van/suv doin in MT"....a van ISN'T a truck What about a SUV a 4runner ISN'T a truck I'll use the same question that was asked above..... how can a "minitrucker" look @ a taco & a 4runner & then pick the 4runner...the mag isn't call MINIVANIN or MINISUVIN ..Times change there are cars out that are badder than most of the cover trucks nowadays(ie that hatch up there ^^^^^ & Adams honda from NC) I would love to pick up an issue & see a 2 ride cover say Adams honda & lets say the mistu from Driveway Werks.. I also agree w. the statement that it would increase readers & prolly increase sales... So would you rather pick up MT & see a car or 2 a month or get on SSM & read a thread from Mike sayin that MT is no longer gonna be printed? So in closing GET OVER IT & LET THE CARS IN........









I TOTALLY FUCKIN DISAGREE WITH THE MULLET.....why u pickin on 4runner's man.....dont be so mean

i dunno if its been mentioned but grinder mag comes out every once in a while. not sure if its still going but they featured mini inspired cars onlythis is the myspace for ithttp://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=187378065

I can't beleive some of the crap you guys are saying about your fellow car owners.Minitruck inspired cars?If I hear that frase one more time Im gonna put on my wife beater and kick my dog around the house!We are all in this together and if you can't see the connection your just plain blind.I build cars,trucks,boats,bikes and anything else I feel like building.

I say don't plan it or say it has to be once a month.I say if you see a killer car shoot it and print it.If it doesn't feel right leave the cars out of mt for a month,or two or how ever long until you shoot one that fits the bill.Quality and descression is the key to not offending people.There is a rising interest in big bodydropped cars that minitruckin readers enjoy and should be represented as such.These are the same people that have trucks and go to the same shows.There is no home for these people other than minitruckin.

^^^ I agree

Tito pushed to get one car in an issue. Josh's civic was in the lenny gruever issue. Tito said the amount of hate mail was massive for the idea.

There was euro lowrider which turned into Edge and now its not about cars from what I recall.
Import Racer actually shot a few of our rides for issues but flipped to the racer side almost instantly.

Minitruck inspired cars are a small portion of the grand sport compact movement. Araz's Accord, maroon accord above, was bitchin. Perfect idea. Notched unibody, crazy stereo tons of bodymods. But its an accord. So thats not a mini car. If you open it up to cars then it goes 'What cars?' there were many fullsize cars shown above. Imanis accord 'simple green' was so clean. Crazy mods and absolutely everything chrome or polished underneath. BUT there is alot of hate on alot of the rides posted. Many view them as "DUB" rides.

The headaches of classifying which car would qualify almost would not make it not worth it. Depending on which editor you talk to the car issues hurt sales. The problem was some of the rides were more ricer then minitruckin.

Good point Jim! (BTW the back is now laid out on this "gay rice rocket"

I could glance a car across the show grounds and instantly tell you how its classed.There isn't alot of confusion as to what group something falls into.I think what offended so many people back in the day was the import influence with the bodykits and the big surface wheels.There was so much hate back then towards tuners it was crazy.Cars in minitruckin should follow the same basic criteria as the trucks.Bodydrop is almost a must in my book along with clean traditional style.The pickins are a bit better now than they where back in the day with fifty thousand dollar luxury cars bodydropped on big clean wheels.I could name a dozen worthy of feature that we all know and have seen in videos,threads,shows but are never takin to press because they have no outlet.AON has a few.
