More Adventures of Bad Kulture Magazines!

Rebel Rodz isn't my favorite of the bunch but , I subscribe to and enjoy it . In fact , I subscride to ALL said "shit rags" . While there are some bombers in these mags there are also MANY nicely designed and executed cars . I subscibed to Street Rodder , in the late '70s I think , and still get it but I've grown really weary of red ,billet ,'32 highboys with sbc motors . How many of those can you look at before they all look alike . The beauty , to me , of these new magazines is the creativty and innovation they display of the new generation builders . Some of the cars are way out of line , I mean an A sedan that has the roof lower than the wheel top ? Looks cool , but hot rods are for driving and I ain't drivin' that . But there are a lot of REALLY nifty cars being built that are unique and clever , which is how hot rodding started out . Being different is our origin . If everyone built the same cars I'd go back to driving Yugos , at least they are different . It seems to me we've grown up to be our parents criticizing cars that aren't the "norm" . Just mein zwei phennigs here

 

Yeah, and after Dollabill's whole schpeel, you sure can tell just how much he DON'T care.

 

15? Hell no!
I turn 14 in August.
But I've known her since I was about 2, that's a good solid 12 years.
Damn, decisions, decisions.

 

Ask Michael Jackson.

 

Isn't elitism what brought about the whole "traditional" ressurgence? People got sick of seeing cars built for 6 figures and wanted to get back to the basic ideal of hot rodding. Building it your way and having fun. Now we find ourselves seperating the herd because of what magazine a car is in. I say go for it. Your car is not gonna change from being in a magazine that some folks don't care for.

 

I love them Krap Magz! Hope theyz never diez.

Exploiting crap just makes the real nice shit look better.

 

HAhahahahahaa I remember now!

 

Tell her you want $50 and get a HAMB membership. I need to before the end of the year. I'm a shit bag, I should have one already.

 

I am looking at the Aug. 08 issue online and they covered the Lonestar Roundup, well at least part of it.

 

I just picked up the new issue yesterday while at Autozone in Bensalem. Mag keeps getting worse, but I'm probably gonna send some pics in to them. $300 is $300.

 

Sheeit...if I were on here at 13. Damn. Id be a lot further along now!

 

Enter this pic in their contest.

 

Hey Muttly, remember to shake before using.

 

How many magazines have your cars appeared in to date? Any? You can afford to pick and choose? Worried that this will ruin your credibility and reputation; that years from now you may face criminal charges or public humiliation or personal ruination or all three?

Every mug chiming in here has skeletons in their automotive closet, things they don't want to admit to.
Believe it or not they weren't all born the handsome, witty, intelligent, educated, charming, honorable, knowledgable , skilled, proficient, diplomatic artists and craftsmen you see today.

Go ahead and do it for yourself. At the least it can connect you with other folks and who knows where that could lead.

 

i just got an email for a guy that works for them. the same things have been playing through my head. what to do what to do...i just wish it was like the 50's with the half size mags. its would be some much cooler. my cars in CKD this mouth as a tech artical i think thats pretty cool. its an okay mag. it could be much better. you know what i mean.

 

Nate-
Do it, hose-head. You could use the dough, and it doesn't hurt you any. When do I get to see the rear-engined bomb anyway, fucker? Is it at your place? I'm gonna tow that shitbox over here and have it reeted out by the time you come home. Got a caddy taillight sitting around here I might have to put in a nacelle to make a third brake light on the decklid.....Some bike fenders to make fender flares......rattle-can scallops......It's gonna be ready for the mag!

 

i really dont care if my a is ever in a mag. and i deffinatly never would enter it in a contest.

 

The Mag is just part of a fad and soon the kids will get bored of looking at mobile rust. It may start to change its looks and perhaps a name change (god help us!). Or it will simply disappear. Go ahead, get yer car seen and help change veiws and atitudes.

 

I say go for it... how many other 14yr old kids got a car in a magazine... not many i think,some might call you a dweeb,but you'll be the king of the dweebs for it.

 

Half size mags,with half size,grainy,B&W pics
so you can't see any of the details.

 

In your opening post you indicated that you agreed to the photos......Enough said.

Forget about the magazines credibility, maintain yours.

Johnnie.

 

OMG what a bunch of whiny Bitches!

 

I'm entering this pic!!!

 

Professional magazine photographers a thing of the past??

(in shaky old man voice) Well... son....in my day, magazines actually hired photographers to take photos, and the photos were professional, and of good quality too, dadgummit! Car magazines actually had beautiful photos of cars with a nice write up and technical articles, not all this skin...ink... what have you business. Car magazines used to be for car guys...that was before the gays took over and got jobs with TV and books and magazines and everything went to hell in a handbasket..by golly...and the ladies...the ladies...they were ladies back then ,thats what we called them. And they used to be pretty too! ...dadgummit!

 

Quiet old man, or I'll put more morphine in your feeding tube!

 

two girls, one coupe?

 

It's funny how many HAMB'ers rides I've seen in those mags,but yet they'll still trash the mag...I say do it and get your ride in the mag...Like my uncle told me when I was 15 "You're 15 kid,you ain't got a reputation"

 

Don't let your dignity get in the way ,Just keep telling yourself that you're only going to do this for the $300 bucks and that you're going to go to community college for your associates degree in liberal arts. Sure, other people may tell you that you're a pathetic pig, and that what you're doing is tantamount to prostitution, but they're just jealous because total strangers aren't giving them $300 bucks Don't get caught up in details! Have fun, it's your life , cheapen it! , or you could always deny everything and just lay all the blame on the chick!
your official responce " i did not and have not ever had any relations with this woman"

 

Go for it. Let the Internet tough guys pound on their chest all they want. As many have said mag coverage is mag coverage. It would be cool to see your car in print. They used my car a few years ago for a corporate print ad for Pepboys. Had a pic of my car hanging in 600 stores & I got a set of professional pics out of the deal as well as one of the posters. ( No pay as I was an employee )

And as you said ( for those who cared to fully read the initial post) you are helping a friend win 300.00. Helping out your friend is more important than trying to kiss up to the " too cool for school " crowd that sometimes permeates the HAMB.

 

Any time you do something - anything - there will be some one who doesn't like you for it. It doesn't matter what it is. The only way to avoid it is not to do or say anything.

The good news is, any time you do anything, there will be someone else who likes you for it.

You could rob a liquor store and some people would like you for it. Some people hate mother Teresa.

If you get your car in this magazine, someone will call you names. If you don't someone else will call you names. Who cares? Hop in your car and smile.
