In essence, the Super Street Tour--despite what you think--has never really been about us, the staff, although it always seemed to be a big celebration about our self-serving ways. Really though, the Tour has, is and always will be about you and for you, our beloved readers. The Tour is our way of giving you a unique opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who share a love for modifying cars so that we can take to the highways together on a journey to one of the country's biggest outdoor car shows. As a post-game ritual, you'd find our own written memoirs describing the debauchery only we could serve best. This year, we've decided to let you tell the story--it was your hard earned money spent to travel thousands of miles to party with the greatest family of all time, and we thank you for your undying support. Without further ado, we pass the mic on to: you!
Here's what we wanted to know:
1 How many years have you been going on the Super Street Tour?
2 Why do you go on the Tour?
3 What do you like best about going on the Tour?
4 Anything funny or interesting happen to you on this particular tour?
5 Anything else you want to say? Shoutouts?

* This is my second year on the tour and I hope it's not the last.
* My team participates every year and we were bummed this time that the North leg was only one day.
* The best part about going is driving down with all those other hooked-up cars, the road trip down there and trying to get into Super Street.
* We had to change wheel bearings on the side of the highway, as well as roll fenders with a
MagLite, which worked perfectly. We bothered the Super Street staff for tour bags; even Elliott said we were guaranteed them. The staff took a pic of my teammate's prehistoric VHS recorder. It was a lot of good times.
* Shoutouts to Team Street Images in CT; we've represented every year for the past eight. Also, when people are trying to race up to the lead car for photos, try not to disappoint them by SLEEPING and not taking one! This is the second time this has happened to me! By the way, we love the mag and the new layout; keep it up!
Terence Gamble
* This was actually my first and most certainly not my last!
* The reason why I went on the Tour is that my teammates have been doing it for eight years. I wanted to experience the madness and meet THE STAFF of Super Street magazine!
* Having my photo taken!
* I tried my hardest not to get a ticket!
* I'd like to shout out Super Street magazine, of course, for doing the Tour! My car club Street Images, and I just wanna add: my dinosaur VHS camcorder made a really nice drifting championship video--the first in existence ($19.99 plus shipping and handling; just kidding!).
Eddie Velez
* I have been on the Super Street Tour for the last seven years.
* I go on the Tour to meet new people and check out new rides.
* It's a nice way to break up the long drive to NOPI.
* On this tour I blew a rear bearing in New Jersey and had to fix it at a rest stop.
* Would like to shout out Super Street for a grand time and my car club Street Images.
