S2Ks INVADE HONDA HQ
Honda's North American headquarters in Torrance, CA hosted the first-ever Honda S2000 Homecoming event which, according to Honda, is the world's largest gathering of S2000s ever. More than 1,000 people and 500 cars took over Honda's parking lot for the chance to strut their stuff, get an early look at the new Honda S2000 CR and meet the father of the S2K and NSX, Shigeru Uehara.
Our JANUARY '98 issue
Our January 1998 issue of Super Street boasted some very important firsts: Loud and Clear finally gave the readers a voice, and we rambled on and on about our first Super Street tour to NOPI. We also started the year off right by making sure each feature car had at least one of the following: clear corners, a combat wing and/or a "Type R" sticker.
Top 10
Every January 1st, we tell ourselves that the coming year will be different. We always say that we will better ourselves in some dramatic way, and we always seem to set off on the right foot. However, by January 3rd, we're back to our old and lazy habits and we find ourselves stuck in that rut we're always in. Rather than tell ourselves that this year will be different, we'll just list the things we want to do for the year and then not get around to actually doing them.
Get our asses to the gym. Spending 10 hours a day chained to a desk hasn't worked wonders for our physiques--hence our overuse of old "moob" jokes.
Ship the magazine on time. Ha ha... that will never happen. Maybe we can shoot for getting things done just one week behind schedule.
Lay off the party juice. And lose the magical elixir that makes Super Street the fine magazine we all know and love? Never!
Get to the office on time. Maybe we'd ship the magazine on time if we managed to lay off the party juice and wake up before noon.
Finish our project cars. We need to find all our project cars before we can get around to finishing them. Who knows where half of our rides are now? We sure don't!
Get out of debt. The day we get out of debt is the day Nike stops making limited-edition Dunks.
Run more girlie photos in the mag. Because we're all about giving you, the reader, what you want.
Get a new Super Street staffer. We'll get one as soon as Source Interlink approves the budget for a new hire. In other words, we won't be seeing any new faces around here for at least five years.
Get that date with Lisa Kim Fleming. Like that will ever happen; she won't even give us the time of day. We just wanted to run another photo of her--see Resolution number four.
Kill the Top Ten lists. We're just plum out of ideas. But until we find another way to generate filler content, the Top Ten list will stay.
