Caterade
I figured it was about time I sent in a letter. I've been reading your magazine for about a year now and I love thestyle. It combines cars, women and humor in just the right proportion. If only sex, food and TV would combine as easily. I don't know of any other magazine out there that gets cars as hot as Top Secret's V-12 Supra and also gets women as hot as Misa Campo. But the part I look forward to most in your magazine is the jabs you make at Carter's Skyline. Keep up the good work.

Wow, at least one person on the whole entire planet Earth knows how to spell Cater's name right.

OK! Enough is enough! One more sob story about how some 25 year-old living in their parent's basement can't afford a $2,000 turbo because their allowance for mowing the yard doesn't cut it and I'll be super-gluing a bar of Lever to their shower floor to invade all 2,000 body parts.
You want sympathy? It's in the dictionary between $#!t and syphilis. The staff at Super Street puts out a great magazine and have better things to do than cry with you. So to all the cry babies and whiners-don't drop your soap. See you in ten to twenty.

Funny, next to a riveting round of "Just the Tip," "Drop Your Soap" is fourth on the list of favorite sexual pastimes.

I think you should do a search for the next top import model at college campuses around the nation.

Where do you think Derrick recruits them? After high and middle schools, when he gets desperate, he heads to local JCs. We're waiting for Chris Hansen to set up shop for his next taping of To Catch a Predator at our offices. For reals, aspiring models, send pics to models@superstreetonline.com.
Hooters
OK, I've been reading your magazine for about three years now and I have always overlooked you talking about Nads' man boobs. I mean, come on, there's always that one guy you pick on and I didn't really care that you always said they're big. But damn. In the April '07 issue, the Mail Sack section has a picture of Nadsy showing a little cleavage and I was down right shocked. That's the type of boy cleavage you hear about in urban legends. Please, for the sake of humanity, start a fund for Nads' breast reduction.

Well, in Nads' defense, he did have a son.
Top 10
I have a bone to pick with you guys; more specifically ten. Here's my list of annoyances this month:
10. Carter/Cater. You should only hire people with sufficiently different names to avoid confusion.
9. How dare you call a 150hp Scion xB a "racecar" (Final Call in Feb issue)!
8. Not enough Francine Dee (had to slide that one in)
7. Dyno charts? Seeing those would be nice every so often.
6. Drift obsession. What happened to AWD and FWD performance? I know that this is the "cool thing" right now, but it would be nice to see one issue that did not feature a S13, S14 or S15. Variety is the spice of life.
5. The model photos on the cover and in the table of contents are the exact same ones within the mag. You do take more than one photo, right?
4. Redesign #312. I actually like this layout the best, let's stick with it.
3. You recycled 25 percent of the photos from the March issue in April. What the hell?
2. A magazine with "Street" in the name focuses mainly on cars that are not street legal and can't even run pump gas. I love to see racecars and all, but I buy this magazine to see what's going on on the street.
1. I can't get your facts straight. Your April cover car (1,000hp) is also in Motor Trend''s April issue and they said it is 850hp. Somehow, I trust their numbers over yours.
I was half kidding with most of these, but each has a bit of truth! I do love your mag and general attitude about things, which is why I subscribe. If I didn't, I wouldn't be writing. Come on guys, get to work!

We had the same list of ten annoyances for the month. You and your annoying list now make it eleven. You officially suck as bad as we do. Almost. We take sucking to a totally non-phallic yet completely erect high.
April Fool
Like every beginning of the month I look forward to getting the issue of Super Street, and when it gets here I take it to my office (bathroom) and read the mag cover to cover.
But after reading the April issue I was pissed. I read the part where Ricky said he was gonna leave 'cause some stupid people don't like him. He was leaving 'cause of that shit? We all know that's part of our industry. We all have fans and then we have all the people whose only goal in life is to pick apart anything we say and do. Hell man, why leave 'cause of that? What would these ass-clowns have to live for after that?
I got so mad that I went upstairs (to the real office) and wrote Rick an e-mail, only to find out that it was his prank for April Fool's. I sat upstairs and kicked myself for being the one who didn't catch it. So I have to say, Ricky, you got me bro, and it's good to see you're not going anywhere.

Our favorite word of the month: ass-clowns.
