For a long time now, ive met and seen alot of firebirds, camaros, mustangs, gts, vettes, ect. around the state of texas in my travels but never could think of a way to bring anyone together. They shared a similar interest as i did, why couldnt we all chat like it was nothing without challenging a race?

I've 3 years experience in writing newspapers, magazines and publishing yearbooks for schools. Its been my interest for a while to create a Texas Only type of magazine/newsletter ( over 30 pages thick and color pages so im not sure if this counts as a newsletter ) that includes photos and stories from owners of these type of cars all around the state of texas. Go to the meets and races and on a monthly basis report the action to all LS1 and other owners.

Would anyone be interested in this? I think itd be only a $3 subscription fee ( 80% sure it will be free for the first year IF i can find some sponsers to help buy the paper and ink ) for the whole year of 2006 seeing as how all i need to really buy, is the paper as i have the machines to do the work for me.

The magazine would include:

"Kill" Records
Home Written Stories
Photo Gallery of Local Cars
Race Reports
Meet Coverage
Information
All Areas of Classifieds
Feature Cars
Show Information & Locations
How-Tos
Ect.

Not JUST modded cars with $20,000 in them will be included ( be realistic, we know we all cant afford that and some of us are most happy with our bolt ons ) - simple cars... like simply modded Honda's, stock Firebirds and Camaros, ect. This is a COMMUNITY magazine for everyone!

Of course id request stories from members of this board and others, photos, follow project cars on a monthly basis, feature car clubs, show cars for sale in the local areas ( ads will be FREE for the first few, maybe several years ), business ads ( also free until determined otherwise ), ect. All delivered right to your mailbox.

Come on everyone in Texas out there, we have a big enough crowd here to fill up 100 pages of this magazine per month. Youd have dozens to hundreds of people seeing your cars/wheels/parts for sale, business, current events and pictures and columns about them. See the upcoming prototype cars ( my uncle works in that department for Ford, im always hearing nice things ) and more.

Let me know. If i get a big enough interest, id like to start accepting stories, photos, self written columns, ads, ect and get this project on the road.

I think it's a great idea. It's also an opportunity to keep everyone in the loop on who's doing what to their cars, who beat who, who didn't show etc.

I like it!!

This is a good idea. I will gladly subscribe. What is the view of the newsletter? Informative, Pics, How to's, Stories, ect...The only thing I would ask, is to have a mix of average joes cars and super cars. I can't stand when all is see in mags are cars with 25-50k in mods that us average joes can't afford. Classy articles with down home stories would be a winner, something we can all relate to. Just my two cents.

Of course. We welcome the average joe cars and super cars. It wont be just a bunch of rich people pooring money into their cars. This is more like a community newsletter. All levels of cars will be included. Even the broken down Corvette thats overdue for a tune-up, so to speak. We will include home written stories about owner's cars and past cars, races, first time to own a modded car, their first race, ect.

Liking the idea now, Paul?
