Default Re: HOT ROD Febuary 2009 stupidity

Most guys supplying the articles to these magazines spruce them up a bit and know it. They are trying to sell the article and put it out there for the magazines to buy. In other words thay are selling it and in selling it , they write it to sell, not always accurate. Most guys supplying the guys with articles get $250-$300 per page , not a lot for what they do. They have competition amongst themselves to compete for spots in the magazines. Every article that i have on any of my cars, i make sure i proof it before it goes to print, i don't want to send misinformation to anyone. Most of the time the owner of the car knows it when it goes to print and doesn't stop it, however, there is usually a reason. It's when they do it purposely to sell an article that drives me crazy. They too, should be credible, not just selling. Geoff Stunkard does a good job, some others, want call names, but, start magazines, take your money, don't refund your money and write non-credible articles just for money! This is not to take anything away from credible jounalist. I know they have a magazine to sell, but, crediblity can only be stretched so far. I have more of a problem when the owner of the vehicle doesn't stop it if they can.
