Word Of Hmong, Pt. Deux
I just got done reading the April `09 issue, the first one I got for my subscription. I have been in the car world my whole life and just recently started reading tuner magazines (it's been maybe a year now). I have read other Super Street issues before so this wasn't my first, but throughout the issues I have noticed a few things. One is the lack of information on the engines and the modifications to the internal components for example, the articles just tell you what kind of piston or connecting rod was used, what about the compression ratio of the piston? Or how much horsepower the connecting rod supports? The articles need more technical information if you ask me. Two is the cheesy and horrible intros to articles, most of them have nothing to do with the car involved. For example, going into detail about the streets of Vegas, talking about masturbating, not getting laid and so on. I could give two shits less about any of that, the reason I read these kind of magazines is for the cars and information. I think you guys should consider these problems when writing your articles because they're steering me away from Super Street and there are many other import mags out there and I would like to continue reading SS, but man this last April `09 issue kinda' sucked. I feel you guys need to hear this so you can improve the magazine and make it better. And I think I read something about the Hmong race in more than one article and it wasn't really anything good about it. Whats up with that? I know I have bashed your magazine, but I'm only doing it so you can improve on it.
Thank you,
Steve Smith

After reading your letter it sounds like we can easily fix your issues with our magazine - simply read the name of the author before you start an article and skip everything written by Roel Concepcion; we think you'll be much happier that way.
"Bone" Thug
Hey nutsacks, send me free stuff! Nah, but seriously, I got a "bone" to pick with you guys. I am a recent subscriber to Super Street and have been a fan of the magazine for years. Every issue I have read (yes I actually read your stupid, sick and perverted comments) has been awesome. My only "bone" to pick with you is that you show cars with $50K plus into them at least! Why not show cars that are for your everyday Joe in a full feature and not just the Reader's Rides section? An average Joe who has spent maybe $5K in the car to show people that you can have a great car and not spend buttloads of $$$ to get it there. Now I know Project Car shows this in their features. Oops maybe I shouldn't mention that magazine since the July/Aug 2008 Issue #7 shows JDM Wong getting spanked not once but twice by a D16A6 Turbo vs. his B16A2 (please don't find me Mr. Wong. I don't want you to come and WD-40 my door hinges, creep into my bedroom and strangle me as I sleep since I mentioned this). Please take this into consideration as you look to see which weapon you wish to use to kill me with.

Well Jake the answer is quite simple - there's already a magazine out there that features those types of cars - it's called Auto Trader.
