IMO this is a ripoff, plain and simple. I also ordered the subscription and Tshirt and only got the "collector" edition. I think it is more like EVIDENCE of a scam. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Just talked with Tom last week he assured me all is well and will be smooth from here on out and the shirts are coming he said, we will see,

I teased him about being out playing and not running the shop and he said NO Way he was full in on the deal and was makeing it work no matter what.

Bud.

I talked to Tom at SCR6 and he told me he was still working on the second issue. He photographed several cars there and I can expect a writeup on SCR6. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

"Talked to Tom last week,he assured me all is well" Of course it is he has our money!!! I am speaking for knowone but myself and I am truely disappointed.I do not feel misled as I see no where on the 1st issue where we are promised a monthly issue or a hint of when there will be a second one.
I purchased a second one off ebay this summer for around $8.00 if I remember correct and it's the same exact issue I paid several times that for months before it came out! Why??
I guess the cover does say Premier Collectors Edition ,,sounds about right it might be the only one!
If he was still taking pic's at SCR 6 for the second issue thats a bad sign as to when we will receive it.
Im a small business man and I see this approach nowhere in the pages of starting a new business 101.
If you read the editorial on page 4 you'd think we were really in for a suprise,,,we were 1 magazine.
Yep im mad ! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]

I still have faith Tom will come through. He's been an asset to the hobby for a long time. Primedia gave him a raw deal taking Muscle Car Review away. So he took it upon himself to start up and put out the biggest and best publication for muscle cars out there. The first issue is tribute to that. It's got to be tough being a one man show without tons of corporate backing. Let him get up to speed so Muscle Car Power can grow and make us all happy again. I'm patient.
