hot rod is very much alive. As slow as that world is to evolve, with many still believing <5 liters is a small displacement.. you get cars customed with americas own stuff showing it like it was...right in its own magazine.

a 302 chevy for example, that is still considered tiny to morons... natural breathing 10 second quarter miles, in the same chassis in the other lane, a big block lunatic that is gonna lose...it is hilarious. My first rage over consumption was the v8. I know there is a winner.

I do get discouraged over the car video makers who make the little car dissapointing.

I am one on a mission that proves, little can be huge.. and save a WHOLE lot of planet, time, and money, without the 30psi turbo, 55 million rpoms, and 300 pound chassis weighing lighter than the driver under his butt.

my 10 geared subaru is just one example of maximizing a little powerhouse...with discipline, and having fun.

if this magazine for ecomod mentioned every realm,and the best acheived, it could stay afloat and as dynamical as a hot rod magazine.. and for the likes of minds like my own, that have been in every realm of everyday automotives, I'd keep buying it.

specialists specialize. they lose alot more than gain in the bigger picture for a whole audience...funny enough, it took over automotives too, a long time ago.
