I made it into HOTROD

Just got my Dec. issue of HOT ROD and I'll be darned if I didn't get in the mag with my '07 'Stang!  I'm in a pic from Power Tour '08 on page 131.  I'm the 4th car back.  Pretty lucky considering there are over 65,000 cars on the tour!  :hick: Too bad its not a full feature article...oh well maybe someday the T-bird will get in there (yeah right).

I scanned a pic and would like to post it but before I do...is that legal or is it like copyright infringement or something?

Your car, who cares. Free advertisment for them.

Legally it is illegal but there are more pros for them in this situation.

If you look in the upper right portion of the picture that is the car some of the mag staffers were driving.  It was a worked over Mazda RX8, which I usually don't get too excited about but it looked and sounded very good.  I also saw some of them get pulled over in a Trailblazer they used (they would haul ass past everyone and then whip it over somewhere to take pics).

thanks its not a big deal really just kinda cool.  How many people can say they have been in a major mag (even if you are in the background).
