This is where we first learned about it. Everything you need to know is there. :icon996:

BTW Thanks Rich for hooking us all up!

**hotrodgary** · 03-04-2005

I got a subscription in the mail for it.

**homerneedspeed** · 03-04-2005

i did not really like it, it seemed too street rod based for me. mabey i will look at it on the newsstand in the future and i will like it better

**Rick Dorion** · 03-05-2005

Mine just arrived. Interesting mix that I'll give a shot with. I hope to hear more about Connie and more detail on the small block builds Scott did that got, in my opinion, not enough coverage in PHR. Need more details!

**Matt** · 03-07-2005

I read it cover to cover on the plane today. I enjoyed it immensely, great start man. Soon as I get situated, and figure out where I'll be living, (been a helluva crazy month) I'll send ya some dough.

I signed up the day of the very first post. Received my bill and membership card maybe two weeks ago but still no mag. Anyone else still waiting?

The website will be up and running by March 15th I'm told. The mag will keep evolving to a higher state as I keep doing it. It will always have a broad spectrum of cars and tech subjects.

It will never be on the news stand so don't bother looking for it there. We don't want any "casual" readers, as we'd rather focus on the Members and give the harder-core group the benefits we've worked so hard to create.

Dean-
The mailings of the new mag go out every other week, so if you got something two weeks agoi you can expect a mag very soon. If this doesn't happen, let me know. It's obvious lots of other guys have recieved their first issue and the system does work, so if you don't get it soon PM me and I'll chase it down for ya.

Connie is here with me of course, and she's getting better all the time. It's cool being the Editor because you can actually get things done on your car instead of being assigned to cover other people's cars or magazine-owned "project cars". Expect Connie to begin kicking major ass this summer as I dial in the new goodies and learn to drive her again. Going from a 275-horse 327/automatic to a 545-horse 383/6-speed might take some getting used to...Luckily I'm willing to put forth the effort.

Naaaaa, it doesn't take getting used to going that direction. Gas pedal is still on the right and makes the car go. You don't even have to go to the gym to work out the clutch leg with today's hydro throw out units... It's going the other way that takes some getting used to... going from my old 420 cu. in. small block '70 'vette with 510hp/500TQ to the rear wheels, down to an '86 Trans Am with 190hp/280TQ at the rear wheels on a mikd 305 TPI...

'70 vette initial drive went as such... "VARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO M, bluh, VAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM, bluh, VAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooM... 110 MPH in the end of 3rd gear that came all to quickly... about 10 seconds of tire smoke, some pitch/yaw adjustments (heheh) and some white knuckle fury, while being "easy" on the new clutch. I got used to it in a day and a half and thought a nitrous system would be a good addition. Got a second set of new tires about a week later, third set came two months after that... 255/60/15's were just not enough. Who knew?!?!?!

'86 TA went like this... "VVvvarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu mmmmmmmmmm.... huh, something must be broke, it can't be THIS slow can it??? Huh..., I guess it did run 0-60 in 6 seconds.... that seems sooooooooo slowwwww"

**Bill Howell** · 03-14-2005

That's right, I got my second issue in the mail today. :icon996:
Between this scrip and my new PHR scrip I have gotten 4 new magazines in three weeks. If this keeps up, I am going to have to speed up my reading habits

**FSTFBDY** · 03-27-2005

Ive got my 2 on time so far. THUMBS up.

I also got a 2nd Bill for subcription fee even thought I already paid.

It's not on the newstand.. it is subscription only, like a VERY nice newsletter

Street Rods are cool too.. :icon996:

Variety = the spice of life...

**Richz68** · 03-28-2005

Hey guys...... I got my second issue maybe two weeks back!!! I love the fresh approach and you have to try to remember that this is OUR publication.... it is a club newsletter and showcase of what we are doing and want to know more about.

Scott..... again this is a GREAT idea man! KUDOS.:icon996:

**Scott Parkhurst** · 03-29-2005

Thanks guys and expect more of the same. It's not a PT-specific title and never will be, but obviously modified muscle is a big part of it and there will be solid coverage to that end. If you like other cool cars, they're in there too...along with some nostalgia, good tech, and a general feel for what's happening on the street for fans of domestic modified machinery. I know many here have interests outside the realm of PT, and there's plenty of guys into traditional hot rods who are totally digging the g-machine movement too. My mag will best reflect what's hot on the streets across the country for the fan of the American rear-drive modified car, and will include cars from the '20s to the present in many different styles (customs, drag cars, and more in addition to PT cars).

It's not PHR and is not meant to be. My enthusiasm stretches pretty far, and my tech experience is fairly broad. You'll see all of it in this mag.

**Steve Chryssos** · 03-29-2005

So-Umm. Tell me again how I go about getting a subscription to Street Thunder?

**zbugger** · 03-29-2005

Scott, I got two issues, and I love them. I've learned to appreciate all sorts of build styles, and this is a great setup. There's lots of stuff you can interchange between build styles too, and this will just be another opportunity for new ideas. Thanks a bunch.

Steve, you gotta put on the nice lipstick and kneepads for yours....

Steevo- You just have to call me. People who have seen me completely stupid drunk get free issues as blackmail payment.

..oh, wait..that'd be WAY too many folks...

...but at least most of them would be females of questionable morals. Hmm...

Great magazine. I enjoy the wide range of hot rods involved in it. I've signed up and have already received two issues now.
