Hey everyone, check out this month's issue of Sport Compact Car Magazine. Look in the letters to the editor section. The last letter is called "AWD Honda." MY LETTER!!!

If you look around in the General Automotive section of the website, you will see a thread called "The Ultimate Civic." That's the full discussion on this topic (a Honda V8 and an AWD Civic).

This isn't the first time I've been in SCC. If you have the December 2007 Issue, I also wrote the "Driver's Ed" letter. I was also published in the September 17, 2007 issue of AutoWeek about the new Accord being too big.

I just wrote a letter to Dave Coleman about he 24 Hours Of Lemons and rallying the CRX (he both rallys and has done Lemons). I'm hoping they publish that too. Next up: getting them to publish an article I've written, not just a letter.

Good stuff bro.

that's awesome Beaters, keep up the good writes! I'll try to get your lawn mower tune up article setup as soon as I'm done with the "Honda etc." section.

Sweetness. It looks like Jay Chen has left the Engineering Editor post at SCC (he didn't have a column this month). Think I should apply?

hell yea man go for it

Never know till you try.

Are you kidding, those are huge shoes to fill. Chen has a Masters degree in Engineering and before him was the great Dave Coleman (he left to work at Mazdaspeed). Those guys are way smarter than I am. Maybe when I graduate I will have the clout to do the tech there.
