I'm the guy who found Ryan Jensen's car and as far as I know, he is not related to Rick Jensen and knowing the editor is not a requirement for getting your car into any magazine, although being on their radar never hurts. I've been doing freelance work for GMHTP for about eight years now and...

Jim Lauer actually lives a few miles from me and if Chris Endres didn't shoot the car, I would have. He never told me who he was going to pitch the feature to, but Lauer assumed it was GMHTP. I know it's been pitched to another magazine already and I'm not sure what the plans are for it, but I...

The Ex gets 20 mpg on the highway, fuel is 30 cents a gallon cheaper and it can carry a ladder. My playing days are over too. I value a healthy body too much to subject myself to any more of that destruction :) Look me up when the Buicks get gathered together and I'll break out my ladder

I would like to get a group of Turbo Buicks (at least six) together at some point for a group photo that would run in the GMHTP coverage of Power Tour. I will be on the long haul and available at all of the stops. If you can get six cars together at any point on the tour, track me down. I...

Until we hear otherwise, we still need to receive real pictures via regular mail. Part of the reason is due to the inconsistency with digital equipment and image quality and the other part of it is logistical, as our art department is located on the other side of the country.

Right now, Street Heat is a column that showcases the rides of our readers, regardless of how modified or unmodified they are. We have talked about occasionally focusing on clubs if they send in enough letters, but that hasn't happened yet. If you use a digital image, please make sure the...

Rick and I have knocked the idea around of featuring specific clubs on that page, but we haven't settled on a format yet. One possibility might be a group photo with a description about the club, plus pictures and profiles on three club members' cars. What do you guys think about that? Any...

I would encourage MAGNA and the other Buick clubs to not wait until spring to send something to Street Heat. It seems like people always want to wait until they have finished one more mod or knocked a few more tenths off their best pass before they send us a letter and we all know how...

The Castrol Syntec Dyno Challenge is a nationwide program and the Nissan was not on the Power Tour. Unless they haven't updated the site, it's still in the lead- Castrol Syntec Dyno Challenge current leaders Schwartz's Ultima is from England, does that count as an import? :D The only...

If you wear that hat in your photo gallery, it'll be easier for us to find you :)

Thanks for the kind words guys. I can't make any promises on what will hit the magazine, but when I do event coverage for GMHTP, I always make every effort to load the stories up with pictures of third gens, Buicks, SyTys, B-bodies and basically anything else that isn't a fourth gen Camaro or...

Bubba, it was nice meeting you on the Tour! Keep your eye on GMHTP for coverage. The pictures of your El Camino turned out pretty good :) We'll most likely be headed to the Bristol Bash this fall and hope to see more folks from this site at that event. Jim

GM has had a constant flow of officially-licensed products with those names and logos on them since the cars were first introduced, albeit not the same volume of some of their more popular brand names like Corvette. To assume they are public domain is not a good idea without first seeking...

Rusty, I've dealt with GM on this specific issue in regards to licensing and they do in fact own the rights to the GN body style, regadless of who owns the actual car. I produced an officially licensed GM product and have two binders and a stack of other documents that deal exclusively with...

Anyone thinking about doing it should have registered by now. At this point, the only options left are the waiting list or planning for next year.

The Midwest F-Body Association and Speedseekers LLP are renting out Road America again. The event is a non-competitive hotlapping format, open to all makes and models. No prior experience is necessary, but common sense is required. For more details, check out this site. If you know of an...

Thanks UNGN and David. I spoke with Jim this afternoon.

That really doesn't help me. I'm working on a Cyber Cruisin' column dedicated to events. If an event doesn't have a website, it's tough to include it.:(

Is there a dedicated website for Buicks at Bristol? Thanks!

Thanks! We're just trying to keep tabs on cars we might be interested in if we get out to the Midwest next summer.
