Classic Trucks ragizine needs to pull their heads out.

No- look again, they obscured the really nasty part

 

I don't know any of the people involved and I'm totally out of line posting in this thread but....

goddam that's funny ****

and Nads: No one reads Amputee Times anymore. All the cool kids read Stump Humper, the girls have tattoos...

 

Yeah, that Pic was gross... Don't do that again.


And BTW...
Over the years I have worked for several Shops.
I like that.
They know what they are looking at, and they pay on time.

And most of the Frames I use are built by a buddy of mine who is also a Shop Owner.

 

Actually, that may really have been the NASTY part....URP.

Hey Jim, you know me but can I still kick you in the nuts?

 

Hey if there is gunna be nut-kicking can I get in on that? LOL

 

I knew you couldn't refrain.......

Yeah he changed the pic... and now it's in his post that I pulled the pic from anyway... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29025
what a *****...

 

It's not you man, it's just the kid talks like he's the new hotness and he's not doing the work...

 

Here's a question: do magazine types have extra thin skins or ego sores, kept raw from constant picking?

Editors are fair game. It's a good job, but there are more critics than *** kissers. It comes with the territory. Jim A got testy when I congratulated KIRK! for his gig at the Good Guys rag. I stand by my statement that the Gazette looks better. I don't know if there was a corresponding change in the art department, but I think the covers with one car and the graphic layout look better. I never said that Jim A did a poor job, just that I thought the Gazette would improve with the guy from Billitproof. More trad style cars because the GGs wanted the younger demographic, they hired KIRK!.

FWIW, I think all the magazine folks do a pretty good job. Besides, I usually read them at the store while my squeeze shops. If there is anything of value, I buy the copy. Not many recent magazines next to the pooper in the house, so there's my comment.

No, I don't think Grey Baskerville had these kind of issues. But they broke the mold, when the made "Yer Ol' Dad". Damn, this thread makes me miss ol' Grey.

 

I hope they never use billett in the Hustler Centerfolds. I would really hate to cancel that subscription.

Me too, I like them trad like in the old days...white ***s and tan lines and wall to wall carpet

 

You've seen my inverted *** talk? That explains it, I thought somebody was behind me breathing hard. You and Shiftbag oughta hook up and start the Rob Fortier ****s web site, if you already haven't, since it seems you're on here more than anything else. And exactly what am I about to isolate myself from? People like you? I sure hope so...

Let me ask you two a serious question, though: of all the stupid, juvenile **** talking that goes on here, do you honestly think I want to come here and defend my work? Uh, no. That would be like, well, a big waste of time. If you would like to e-mail me at my office, post on the magazine's web site, or call my office, I'd be more than glad to discuss magazine content in a grown up's way. Why do it here where it's easy for you to put on your "I'm a Real Tough Guy" invisible shield and start slingin. My job and this place have no relation, but if you throw some personal statements my way in regards to my job, then expect an appropriate response.

Oh, and as far as "Project Old School" is concerned, if you actually read the stories, you'd know I have absolutely nothing to do with that, and it was actually started well over a year before I came on board.

 

For some of you that think posts like this are drivel, I actually look forward to these because I actually learn who certain people are on here. Now I know who RF is. CT. JimA. etc. You only learn if you read everything. Little bits and pieces. There are some highly talented people here. No I'm not kissing anyones *** nor am I trying to gain brownie points. Just making an observation. This place is cool. I need another Corona.

 

Werd.

 

Yes, they just can't seem to get a leg up.

Perhaps we should give them a hand.



(Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

 

THis is silly.....

 

You know what, I never had a clue you posted here, but after reading your comments to your readers, and the stuff you post, I'm glad to be done with your ego jerking magazine. Sure I know project old school was before your time, I just made a quick-fire remark about the flat black paint with red wheels for ****s and giggles. I'd like to see where you think I'm coming off, "I'm a internet tough guy", like I'm going to have a fist-fight over some stupid magazine, what are you Rob, ****ing 12 years old or something? Grow a pair and understand you have upset alot of readers (while making the 12 year olds happy). I'm glad you are happy with the way you runs things, and you know what, you can run you magazine any which way you want, but it doesn't mean I have to read it anymore. Hey I'm glad that you want to get rid of everybody that doesn't like your magazine, so all the letters to the editor can be how swell you are, and how sweet that airbag kit is on their 1977 Chevy truck, and how they like Neon lights that flash under their trucks. As soon as you are gone at Cl***ic Trucks, I might give it another shot, but until then, have fun in your playpen.

 

where's GERM? fire up the GERM LIGHT OF HELLFIRE(tm) into the night sky...
nic

 

For crying out ****ing LOUD!!!

I really don't like scuba diving...nobody does it OLD SCHOOL anymore, they all rent submarines and ****, and that's all they print in Super Scuba Magazine...and yet...I feel...compelled...to ***** about it and call the editor names!!!

I dig 66-72 Dodge pickups (****, SOMEONE has to! )...but ya don't hear me belly-aching about the lack of coverage they get and ******* through Rob's kitchen window over it!

Here's a little secret..."cl***ic trucks" is a catagory that covers ALOT of ****ing ground, and not seeing your one favorite oddball model in every issue doesn't mean the magazine ****s. On the contrary...it just MIGHT mean that the rag is kinda, you know...DIVERSE...and tries to cover a broad sweep of the hobby while keeping focused on the CONTEMPORARY trends concerning CL***IC trucks...

...but what the hell do I know?!

 

So, you can actually read? I AM surprised!

 

Yeap and I can chew gum and walk at the same time as well. Pretty ****ing neat huh?

 

Hey,I do too!!!!
Does that make me weird or sumthin'?

 

It's not just the odd models, I like seeing all kinds of crazy older stuff, but I am sick of the same tech **** over and over again and recycled from their our sister magazines. Why shouldn't people piss through his window, he **** in my mailbox!

 

...and you PAID him to do it, too! Ha Ha Ha!!!

(Actually, that WAS pretty funny!! )

thank you alex,

you know i wasnt even being rough and tough in my original comment, simply stating that RF acts like a jerk more than helps. i didnt call him a dip****, i didnt try to hide behind a thing, i didnt call him out. just stating that i was surprised at the way he acts for the position he holds.
yes i do sub my chops out to alex, this one in peticular is MINE i am man enough (and biz smart enough) to know that untill i can somehow talk alex out of his house and into the 1700 sq ft area i have intended just for him (nudge nudge) that i will forever sub my top chops to him. i know i can cut roofs, no problem. but i know alex well, and i know his work, and know he is a master at what he does. i would gladly take the pepsi ****ing challenge with his work against anyone's on this board. and anyone that knows him, or has had work done by him will tell you the same. chops are ALL WE SUB everything else is in house
and im sorry ZMAN if you feel that i am coming off like i think im the cats meow, but thats issues that your gonna have to work out between yourself and the counselour. i am proud of our new shop, i am proud of this sport, i am proud that i am fortunate enough to be alive, breathing, and driving vintage tin! other than that ZMAN lick my balls! catch me at a show if you dont like me that much, or continue life being a misserable old bitter woman, as i will be in the wiiiiind

 

I've learned that people are pationate about their trucks... it's like this:

1) Ma'truck

2) Ma'woman

2.5) Ma'dog

3) Ma' lawn

4) Ma'sister

5) #2 and #4 are universal in some states...

Sam.

 

Nope.
There are Metal guys on this board that I hope to be as good as some day... Maybe.

And I know both GRSMNKY and Zman personally, which puts me in the middle.

Which is where I refuse to be.

Maybe you fellas can settle this with P/Ms.


And that goes for the rest of the arguments too...
