Why readers stuck with us through thick and thin for a better part of their rebellious, young lives amazes us. For anyone not in the know, Loud & Clear is the part of the game where you write in and tell us how much you really love the magazine or how much it sucks balls. You get cool prizes if we pick yours as the Letter of the Month. This month, in celebration of our tenth year of pissing people off and overjoying their lives with automotive porno in equal parts, Options Auto Salon (www.optauto.com) is giving Tony Litton a $200 gift certificate, good for anything off their Web site. Believe it or not, Options has been advertising with us since day one. They may have thought it was a waste of money back then, but look who's still writing checks out to our name now? Just kidding-we're glad you were never delinquent.
Letter Of The Month
I was at work yesterday and I was thumbing through the magazine section. I stumbled across the June edition of Super Street. Not only was it the first magazine I think that I've ever actually purchased, but I was actually inspired. I bought a bar of soap, went out to my car ('97 Firebird) and wrote "for sale" on it. I'm currently looking for an Integra, Eclipse, or a Civic that I can pimp out with a little help from your magazine. Oh, and I wouldn't mind being the Letter of the Month considering I did write this in study hall. Also if you take into account that I make $8 an hour it will take me at least 125 hours to get some decent rims on my car. Just thought I'd let you guys all know what a damn fine job your doing. Keep up the good work!

We at Super Street understand the struggle of a starving student. Just like we wished people would take us seriously when our first issue launched back in '96, we, along with Options, want to make sure your project gets off to the right start with this $200 gift certificate.
Winner Or Whiner?
What is this world coming to? Every month I read your magazine and rejoice at the amount of awesome material you seem to over-stuff your mag with. The G35 supercharger install has left my brother drooling in puddles for the last two weeks. But my rejoicing turns to bitterness and resentment when I finally get to your letters section. Every month some Joe Schmoe writes you a sob story and then walks into the sunset with his victory prize of shame. "Oh Super Street! My subscription has run out! Please give me some rims to appease me." Phooey! Save your magazine from the drama and give the prize to someone who could use it, like a bum named Joe who's building a cardboard soapbox racer.
