We have a ton of info, and projects that could make a great magazine.

Me three. Always made me nervous. That's why I bought my lift.

I subscribe to Corvette magazine. The same people put out a Porsche magazine called Excellence. Hopefully, some Excellence type articles will start appearing in Corvette. When Excellence does an article on a car, it's usually four or five pages with detailed technical info on what was done and the pictures are fabulous. I have every Excellence magazine from issue #1, and every Corvette magazine from issue #2. I better buy #1 while it is still available.

Bee Jay - Will you send me a subscription number or website? I want to look into a good Vette mag, and that one looks like something I would like.
