BARTENDER, LET ME<br />
GET A SUPER STREET<br />
AND RED BULL!<br />
Firstly, I hope you know I am writing this<br />
with a purple pencil. I pick up every Super<br />
Street issue I can get my hands on, however,<br />
I am in basic training right now and do not<br />
have access to any. Magazines are considered<br />
contraband items here, but I do have one<br />
stashed away. It is the September 2009 issue;<br />
one of my favorite ones yet. I just have to say<br />
I am a big <strong>tuning</strong> fan and hold a lot of respect<br />
for “do it yourselfers.” What I would like to<br />
see in the future is some European cars. I am<br />
in love with Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche in<br />
general. I drive a 2009 Volkswagen GTI<br />
with the 6-speed manual. It is decently<br />
quick already, but after my AIT I plan on<br />
spending at least half of my signing bonus<br />
on APR <strong>tuning</strong> parts. I am looking forward<br />
to the ECU flash and new exhaust in particular.<br />
I hope to see some articles on the shit going<br />
down across the Atlantic. I graduate BCT<br />
on November 13th and the first thing I am<br />
going to do is get a Red Bull and a Super<br />
Street magazine.<br />
Thanks for the dope mag,<br />

We’re glad to hear you enjoy our magazine<br />
even though you have gone to the dark side.<br />
The reason you won’t see Euros in our book is<br />
because we have a sister publication made<br />
especially for those cars – eurotuner. We<br />
highly suggest you check it out because we<br />
don’t plan on running any of your kind in the<br />
near future, so don’t hold your breath.<br />

SIDEWAYS<br />
Hi my name is Lamont Adrien and I like your<br />
mags. Super Street is awesome and I’ve been<br />
reading every issue of Project Car since it was<br />
first introduced. In my spare time<br />
I am finishing up a novel about mountain drift<br />
racing. It falls under teen fiction. My problem<br />
is this: in the last scene there are two cars<br />
battling the downhill and I can’t figure out the<br />
deciding factor as far as how to make one of<br />
them lose. The cars are a Nissan 240SX (S13<br />
1992) and a Nissan Silvia (S15 2002). I want<br />
the S13 to win. He has to. But I’m trying to<br />
find a weakness in the S15. Any suggestions?<br />
The setting is a mountain. Uphill and downhill<br />
drifting. Late at night. And of course for your<br />
help if this book get published (by next year I<br />
hope) you will most definitely<br />
be getting an honorable mention in<br />
the credits.<br />

P.S. I also need to find a picture for the cover.<br />
I’m thinkin’ a silver Nissan S13. Body kit<br />
would be not outlandish but smooth and not<br />
over-done. If interested I’ll send<br />
you a full workup.<br />
It’s hard to believe that someone<br />
who can’t properly spell mountain is<br />
going to be writing a novel. Anyway<br />
we do wish you luck. We’ve heard<br />
rumors that the S15 transmission is a<br />
little weak, being a 6-speed. Perhaps<br />
you could work that in as a<br />
mechanical failure. The other option<br />
would be to go the sexist route and<br />
put a girl driver in the S15, since the<br />
S15 is a girl car after all, and we all<br />
know girls can’t drive.<br />
SUPER POOPERS<br />
For some reason this month we received<br />
two emails from readers showing us<br />
their readers-in-training. These guys are<br />
basically already life time subscribers<br />
enjoying two of the most blissful things<br />
on earth – Super Street and dropping a<br />
deuce.<br />

X MARKS THE SPOT<br />
I have a great treasure hunt for you. I’ve been<br />
thinking about one of the first Super Street’s I<br />
ever got. It had “Drifter X” in it. It was the first<br />
time I fell in love with the 240 hatchback. He<br />
had the S15 front end, strawberry face it was<br />
called then and this crazy Galaxy Mazora paint<br />
job with the Signal Auto chrome splash down<br />
the side. I think I had that magazine laying<br />
around somewhere and want to show my wife<br />
my final plan for my ‘92 hatch. I just can’t<br />
remember what issue it is. I have about 4 or 5<br />
yrs worth of your magazines, along with others<br />
that don’t hold a candle to yours and was<br />
wondering if you could tell me which issue the<br />
“Drifter X” article is in.<br />

Chris, the issue you are speaking of is<br />
December 2001. The cover featured Jun Auto’s<br />
patented yellow top-speed Supra. You can<br />
thank us later.<br />
