i think a magazine like RIDES will water the scene down (BUICK LUCERNE/300C) but that's just my opinion..anyway it sould be nice to see some more US cars in VIPCAR, the only car i can rembember from the US is freddie from autofashion.
Good point. I'm still thinking of ideas and how to present this to RIDES. I've always felt that the US was a dealt a bad hand from the beginning with the amount of VIP car platforms enthusiasts had to choose from. I would like to see more ES, IS and other cars done in VIP style.

thoughts?

In regards to the IS and ES once you get coverage in for the platform cars , it will bring more interest from the non platform guys. You know there is a gazillion Altezzas in the Tristate but they are more performance related than anything else. Anything you need you know i'm down, you got my number just holla.

Don't submit to rides honestly. Rides is known for DUB, so as soon as they start exposing the VIP scene i honestly think the view of the scene will be skewed and it could possibly get ruined.

Not necessarily......my car was in Rides a few years back and VIP has survived.

Ok, here is what I have so far

Mr. Johnny

first you hav to send pics with some comment (around 100 words in english = i will translate into japanese.) i recommend you to send not only one subject but at least 4 or 5subjects. after akimoto take a look for your pics with comments, then he is going to decide whether your report can be placeable on their magazine or not.
I need your help.

I'm looking for 2 GS's, 2 LS's, and 2 Q's (any years)

I will need 20-30 pics and a phone convo to go over some questions.

PM me if interested.

Thanks,
Johnny
