yep, that's him.

SCC usually does pretty good about not ricing everything out.  They have some riced out car every once in a while, but how often have you seen a craptastically sticker-laiden, all-show-no-go ricemobile on it's front cover...they're sure as hell alot better than Stupid Street.

What issue is this? Oh and in my opinion SCC isn't a rice mag....even though they are gettin worse <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/baaa.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':baaa:'> ...more like Super Street. But I do like SCC's technical write-ups and their "Performance Dictionary."

Beautiful. I wonder what being able to say "As shown in SCC" would do to the value of the car at resale?

FWIW, I think SCC is the best import car mag available at your local grocer's.</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
Not as much as a pimptastic booty model draped over the hood, but I am sure it can't hurt.

I had seen it but couldn't remember exactly but then I read the name and his SN just popped in my head.  I thought it was too cool to see his car in there.  Maybe I should submit mine? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Well sh!t, my girl's got cheeks for weeks... maybe I oughta give it a shot. I could get her some of those streetwalker bling bling clothes that all the pinay-paddy-princesses wear and put the FinePix to work <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Then I could get the car, the cage, and the spec suspension bits all at once!

**edit** I just snooped around ebay and autotrader... my car's not worth the powder to blow it to hell <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>  At it's current rate of 25% depreciation/annum, it should be worth about the price of a new mountain bike in another couple a years.  Jezuz H. - I've lost almost as much value owning this car for 1.5 years as I did my civic for about 5!!
