A few months ago, Hot Rod published a list of things to do before leaving this big ball of mud. I missed the list- got to the news stand too late to get a copy. Can anyone post the list or point me to the list online?

"Remy-Z, you've outdone yourself again, I thought a Mirada was the icing on the cake of rodding, but this Imperial is the spread of little 99-cent candy letters spelling out "EAT ME" on top of that cake."
I think I was in a 22 and got shit from DF and Rob about it.
Then there was Speedy (who has disappeared incidentally) who called the list "elitist"...which still kind of chaps my ass a little. It's a list of cool stuff coupled with "dream" items that I think any one of us would want to do.
