Every month, we get tons of submissions for our very popular department: Readers’ Rides. Well, we have a special treat for you today... We’ve cleaned out our inbox to show as many of your fellow readers’ cars as we can fit in here.
You might have noticed we took out our usual “mods that should have been done” remarks. That’s because we’re leaving it up to you. We’re putting every ride on our Facebook fan page (facebook.com/superstreetmag). Feel free and give your two cents on your favorite or least favorite car. Try to be nice but we all know haters gonna hate…
Go on Facebook and help us pick this month’s ride of the month. The winning car gets a fre
While we’re in the spirit of Facebook, we’ve also put together a little contest this month. The ride with the most ‘likes’ at the end of January will win a set of Nitto tires! But that’s not all… The winner will also be automatically thrown into the running for the 2012 Readers’ Ride of the Year. Every month, continue to help us pick the ride of the month on Facebook. At the end of the year, we’ll host a final contest and the grand prize will be a day with Super Street. Err, sort of… We’ll fly out and photograph the winner’s car for a feature in the mag so keep those submissions coming and remember to vote for your favorite rides!
If you missed getting your project car in this issue, don’t worry. We’ll still be dishing out our usual monthly fix every month so remember to submit your hi-res photos, spec list and contact information to superstreet247@gmail.com.
