That there is some funny shit. Dry humor always wins out....................

 

i have a friend named Drew Peacock

 

My real name David McCracken.
my step-sons name is Phillip.
I have told him that he should be glad I never adopted him and had him change his last name.
After a short a very short explanation,and a good laugh, He thanked me profusely.

 

Best thread ever, bar none. Used to be a sheet metal shop at the corner of 12th and Clarke in Vancouver, Proprieters name was Hang Wang. Had it painted on the side of his pick-up too. Vince, you were right, I shoulda joined a LOOOONG time ago.Nice to see God checking in, I always thought he lurked over on Speedtalk...

 

I like R-R's but it's not TRADITIONAL for them to feature them.

I have seen some features in recent months that keep me reading until the wifey is done shopping.

Dick Trickle...poor sob.

 

Ahhh yes, Dick Trickle – no explanation necessary – I forgot about him. Yes, poor S.O.B.

I forgot, Harry had a twin sister, Carrie.

Serious, they were both nice folk, very smart.

 

Sorry but Street Rodder has'nt been the same since May of 72.

 

Damn I miss the good old days in the sandbox... Not a care in the world.. Unless a cat burried something special that you were the first to find... That was the only shit that mattered... Sheep Rodder made the thread.. I'm off to "I don't give a fuck" land........................

 

Who would have thought this shit could run 7 pages?

 

70% ads 30% cars, I look at a friends copy, and buy Hot Rod Deluxe.

 

This is has been the funniest thread on the HAMB for a long time.
Some of Street Rodder is good, and some is not so good, if you can get over the constant bolt on the advertisers latest gizmo's crap.
HemiDeuce.

 

7? thats nothing. The Dream Car thread of 01 went on for twice that! Wonder whos soccermom that girl is now?!

 

I noticed this month the abundance of traditional hot rods in SR when I swung by B&N. First time I have bought a copy in years. some really great stuff in it; the ads still push billet stuff but they will eventually come around and push traditional products on us because they will have to move with the market to stay profitable, then those ads become pretty damn handy.

 

I just buy pre 1964 issues of Hot Rod and Car Craft at swap meets and then I can see what was really latest traditional trend back then. Nothing new under the sun.

 

I just need to get my post count up

 

Good idea, I need to get rid of the FNG tag,

how bout that dryer sheet one that was funny

 

My old boss' name was Dick Ryder, yea that was fun. Street rods are just hot rods with disk brakes and radial tires!

 

The only sheep I see are the guys bashing Street Rodder...

because everyone knows to be a hard core rat rodder you gotta bash Street Rodder Magazine!

Seems a large number of people on this thread know Dick. What's that tell ya?

 

I have a friend named Burt Peacock and his brothers name is Chris Peacock. I don't believe either of them own a street rod. I didn't know them in college though.

 

Street Rodder and R & C both seem to be doing a good job---but Car Craft??? I didn't renew.

 

I stopped buying most of those magazines when they stopped knowing what they were talking about. Fancy posting a 64 Chev for example and calling it a Hot Rod shit everyone knows a Hot Rod is of pre 48 Vintage and unfortunately the late comers though a 62 Galaxie or whatever you want to name was suddenly a Hot Rod. Don't they know the difference between a custom car and a Hot Rod, but Rod and Custom at least told you with the title what they were covering which is a good magazine in my humble opinion.

Even though I have Hot Rods I wish I was skiled enough to build a Custom which will only live in my mind how I'd like it.

 

best thread in along time! Iona Braa, she lived in Luverne Mn.!! aftermarket companys finance the car magizines. FACT! did you think your subscription was enofe to run a magizine? so few parts to sell for a TRAD ROD. they will hylite cars with parts from their advertisers. for them its survival

 

As always a lot of name calling here. Many here admit that they never have grown up. Maybe that is part of the problem.

I started a thread about Street Rod Magazine a few weeks back but it got shut down.

I also complained about the fact that they call it Street Rod Magazine.

I suggested that they call it Show Car Magazine.

They could still cover their advertisers with articles about cars that are actually going to be driven on the street.

About 1/3rd of the articles should be about street car models made before 48 and 1/3rd made after 48 and 1/3rd could be about show cars and Car Shows of all ages.

Yes Magazines like all other business except GM are private and have to make a profit to exist.

It isn't shame on them for trying to keep their advertisers happy because that makes good business sense.

However they also have to keep their Subscribers happy because they also help pay the costs.

Advertisers pay for exposure to those who will buy their products and services.

If circulation drops off so will advertising dollars.

I still like Street Rod Magazine best of all of the Magazines I have a subscription to.

I think the boss lets these threads go for abit so we can blow off some steam/vent.

 

The mag has changed for the better in our eyes , more traditional stuff in there, I advertise only in Street Rodder , we get good exposure & as the years have gone by there are more feature cars with our parts on so for me it's a win win situation, long may it last. Even the goodguys gazette & streetscene are showing more trad cars in their event coverage.Stop whining it's a good thing.
