This new magazine is great ! They have a several page "buyers guide" this month on GN/GNX's. Dennis Kirban featured also. So far I like it better than CarCraft or Hot Rod. What do you think?

HERE IS THE OPENING PARAGAPH---
“Your cruising a favorite strip in your pony car and come to a red light with a Buick Coupe idling patiently in the right lane. With a cursory sideways glance, you note the black cars lack of chrome trim, mean looking hood blister and front and rear spoilers – but craning your ears, its engine does not have the V8 rumble of your ride. Deciding that the Buick is easy Prey, you elect to show it who’s boss…..the light flashes to green and before you even grab second gear, the black car is gone in a haze of tire smoke and turbocharger whine.
CONGRATULATIONS, you’ve just been introduced to a Grand National."

Great magazine! I just wish I could locate issue #1; I saw it at Barnes & Noble but when I went back they had already returned #1 and had #2 on display. Been hooked ever since. best $12.00 I ever spent!

Looks cool :rock:
Thanks for the info and link!
I signed-up
Very cool to see a couple of articles about our cars but some of the info was wrong. All in all, though, I like the magazine.

I sometimes find it interesting to read and collect the misinformation. If the person that has written the article/info has not had personal experience with the TRs, or even is a new owner, it would be somewhat easy to goof up. Another great reason to own a TR, the mystique and silent reputation. It's always fun to have the "sleeper" and have someone ask you about your black Monte or "big block" car :add_wegbr

Thought the article might have been a bit confusing for the average joe who was not really into TR's. Having the main picture of a GN and then all the other pics of a GNX seemed sort of misleading. Was nice to see some TR's in print in a mainstream magazine. Love the job they are doing overall with the magazine and hope they keep it up.
