Ah, the month of little candy hearts, red roses and boxes of chocolates. We're talking about the month of love-we're talking about February, baby. Whether you're planning a big date with your significant other, trying to win over a new one or spending the day wallowing in your sorrows like us editors, realize you're not alone!
This month's winner nabbed the victory for two loving reasons. One, he's got a nice Solara and we don't see those that often; two, his name is almost a mirror image of eurotuner's muscle-bound, Baby Gap shirt wearing love bug, Sam Du. So if you're dressing to impress, don't forget to wash that ride, and if you're lonely, instead of pouting you could wash your whip. Either way, your car will be clean and that means you're only a few snaps away from sending us your Readers' Rides submission. All that's left is for you to send your snaps and info to readersrides@superstreetonline.com or to Super Street, Attn: Readers' Rides, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048. And the best thing, the winner gets a lovely prize.
This month's winner Samson Du of San Jose, CA wins the Koul tool, a device that makes assembling hose accessories a quick and easy job. (www.koultools.com).
