    Yeah, me too. In the tech line, lots of folks (including me) were standing around gawking at it in amazement. The guy said he'd won a burnout contest in it. He got the tires boiling and with that exhaust coming out of that rear hatch at a 45-degree angle, it shot the smoke into the sky like a giant rooster's tail. And the crowd went wild.

          Got mine today! And at the end of the Ohio Mile article it said to go to hotrod.com/2012/September for more photos.

          So I did, but I didn't see any, just the static table of contents for the issue....rats!

Check out the top left corner of page 104 where the article starts and then the last two columns on the opposite page 105 and check out the name.

            Congrats on the ink and being the first pass at Wilmington! Would you mind expanding on the whole wheelchair thing a bit? What the hell did you do to yourself and are you walking again or does your ride have special equipment?
            I'm probably wrong

                I saw the 64, not the direction I would have gone, but I still like everything but the wheels. It made me very happy to see a stroked 389 in it instead of the usual sbc or LSx.

                      Again, gotta take wins when you get 'em, congrats Buckeye!

                      And Squirrell posted the scans of my car in two photos, but in the real magazine it kinda looked and felt different. After all I just happened on both instances to be parked BEHIND the car they photographed and were raving about! Oh well, got in the way of the camera both times.

                        Still a win!
                        The mopar magazine with the article about demoing Imperials shows my son's car as fodder.. What the article fails to mention is my son came on top more than the Imp did...
                        But still in a magazine..

                            Thats pretty cool that Peewee got a pic of his car in his first hot rod outing. There have been many many people who have done the power tour a bunch of times and their car has never been in the mag. My Impala has been in Car Craft many times since 2006, including the current issue. Its never has a featire of any sort but its cool to know they like my car. ( Both Doug Glad and John McGann are big 65 Impala fans. There are two others in the same article) Its also been in PHR and CHP's readers rides section over the years. Those are really cool and I saved those issues.

                              Well Scott a goose does shit in the lake sometimes. And it doesn't seem fair when you put it into your light, so many folks out so many times and don't show up in a magazine photo.

                              I.....I.....well heck. It's not like I did anything but be there. Being there was thrill enough.

                                There are a lot of cars that are train wrecks. They wont be in any mag ever. Thats life. Then there is the mag editors personal tastes. Obviously, that will influence whats in the mag too. I lucked out and went on the Anti Tour with an editor that loves the type of car I own. DF has a huge list of fails for cars that bug him. I amazed anything gets in his mag at all. I spent an hour following him around at a show once and he nick picked.at everything from gas pedals to plug wire color.
