August PHR

[trapin]

Another great issue. Steve, you were right...Micheal Cooper's $10,000 Nova was just the story I've been jumpin up and down about for some time. Great to see a budget Pro-Touring car thrown into the mix.

Jay Heath did a fine job on the story, however...do you know if he's going to be publishing a glossary soon because I will need some help with the following words;

- Jitney
- Fungible
- Elide
- Amenability
- Abet
- Duende
- Limned
- Countenance
- Cleave
- Contretemps
- Appellation
- Leonine
- Profligacy
- Evinced

The guy's a terrific writer but........for the love of God. I guess I'm just too stupid. :drool:

[KrisHorton]

Wow, those all look like made-up words to me...crazy. Looking forward to the new issue! The next few months ought to be pretty good too, or so I keep hearing. :headbang:

Cleave? Tell me that doesn't have something to do with boobies......

Yea, my wife and I both had dictionary.com up while reading the story.. the way he does it is almost poetic but some of the words are just plain "out there"

Glad you liked the Nova story.. not bad for a 17 year old kid.. the cover.. a feature AND an interview. See, you don't have to spend a ton to build a cool car so long as you are willing to invest sweat (and you have really great help, his dad)..

Oh, and his Nova is more streetfighter than pro-touring.. sort of a pro-street/pro-touring hybrid.. love the stance!

[Steve1968LS2]

Oh, I ddn't even remember what Bolide meant.. so you are one up on me :)

August issue of PHR? I just received my July issue last week. When you guys discuss a current article in the magazine, I'm like, what the (*&^%%$&* going on. I'm a new subscriber. Maybe I'm one of the last ones to get mailed out. LOL

LOL RP, Don't feel like the lone ranger, I am in the same boat. I stay about a month behind... :hammer:

[JayBird]

I just got my August issue yesterday. It seems like I get mine 3-4 days after it hits the stands, here in NC. But, at least I get it.

[Dragonsnake]

Got the JUNE issue a week ago:) ,so please dont discuss the august version.

Maybe next time,i wont subscribe,because the paper stores have them 2-3 weeks before i get the magazine.

And i cant wait that long,so i buy it instead.........:lmao:

[in2protour]

maybe the postman is busy reading our magazine during lunch breaks! I get mine about 2 weeks late too. One time, my magazine cover was ripped up when I got it.

[trapin]

Were the pages stuck together too?




:lmao: sorry....I had to.

[69rs]

Cleave? Tell me that doesn't have something to do with boobies......
cleave:To pierce or penetrate........according to dictionary.com
Not sure if that's boobies......:naughty:

[Steve Chryssos]

You just have to try these words in your own sentence. Then they make sense. Here, I'll go first:

I was riding through the Appellation mountains on my jitney when my girlfriend Elide passed me some mushrooms. Lemme tellya, they were quite fungible. Then my homeboy, Duende, tried them and agreed that they offered a high degree of amenability (That means they were good). He said, Abet you I can eat the whole bag.

See? It's not that bad.

Steve....the Countenance you've shown in your Limned example of this most Leonine situation has been an absolute breath of fresh air. If I only had the Amenability, the Profligacy, the Fungible Duende to have approached it in this matter, perhaps this unfortunate Jitney of sorts would not have been necessary.

Contretempts to you and yours. :cheers:

[zbugger]

Oh I need drugs bad now........

[protour_chevelle]

Al, Pass me some when you find em!

Steve, that was priceless. :lol

Rather than enrich my vocabulary, I would have much rather learned the specs of the Nova's rear tires. Can you find out Steve?

He didn't have it in the story??

No problemo.. for you I will find out when I get to the office :)

[Scott Parkhurst]

Jay's writing has always given me a headache. I feel for the guys who's cars he's writing about. Can you imagine having that feature on the wall of your garage for eternity, and having to explain the obtuse writing style to everyone you'd like to show it to?

[Steve Chryssos]

It's like lobster. All that work for not a lot of meat. I'll take fish sticks any day.

Fish sticks.. :yum:

That is how I want my writing to be.. meaty and to the point.. Someone took the job bag on the Nova so I am running down the tire and wheel size..

I was surprised it wasn't in the story.. :shrug:

Yea, they had some idiot do the write up on my 69 Camaro.. :(

[trapin]

It looks as if he's got his rear axle narrowed a bit.

[Steve1968LS2]

Yep, he did..

And he had the TTII's on the back custom made.. they reversed the hoop to get the offset. That is why the wheel has a "fat lip" look to it.

I can't believe someone swiped the job bag.. :dunno:

[Bill Howell]

Ok I complained when I did not have my issue two days ago, so I will fess up, it came today. I guess that is not too bad considering I live over here on the right coast. Love the nova Steve.

Did he do it? I honestly didn't see it...I was lost in transition then.

Is it bizarro?
