Ricky's Ride Of The Month
Where are the shots of your ride? We're guessing you didn't send them in because you don't want us to put your car in our magazine. That's fine with us for now because we have two cabinets full of letters from readers who do want to kick-start their 15 minutes of fame.
If you did send us some pictures and haven't seen them run yet in Super Street, it could be for several reasons. Jot these down and think back on whether you have followed the instructions we've given you so many times. First, did you take good pictures? Please don't send us Polaroid snaps, images downloaded from the Internet, or stuff you shot in the dark with your camera phone. Second, following the format makes our lives easy; making our lives easy means you get into the magazine. You obviously read Super Street in a more intense manner than you do with your textbooks. Just read what we print and regurgitate it. Lastly, bribes always work. They don't even have to be good.
And that, loyal readers, is how you get your car in Readers' Rides. You can also win Ride of the Month and score some dope prize. Marilyn Medina won this month's prize, a set of TSW wheels (www.tsw.com). Free wheels? You can't beat that with a bat. Well, you probably can, but we suggest you don't. Send all photos and specs to Readers' Rides, Super Street, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048.
