My March issue just arrived today.

I'm a big fan of patina and I hate green cars, but that Shelby looks fantastic. I can't believe that people were giving you E36 M3 about it.

Keep up the good work.

I semi-inadvertently "piled on" to a thread of a somewhat critical nature last week, so I'll try to balance that out by offering particular thanks for the Jensen Healey article. Reminded me to pester my dad about pestering his old coworker about his J-H...

Now I've got daydreams of flying down for the Laguna Seca round of MotoGP and driving back in the J-H...

I do have to say that the March issue was pretty darn good. I enjoyed it.

I do that to people once in a while when I'm not getting poked with a pin.

First, nice fencing match to bravenrace and Marjorie, not everyone on the boards sees the posts where you two score your points!

Second, I agree with Woody, I just got done reading the article last night: YOU DID THE RIGHT THING. Patina might be cool, but on most older cars patina that's worth something is from SoCal or the dessert where that awesome patch of surface rust was from the one rain storm per year over 30 years. Anywhere else in the country, even a bit of patina on the outside means lurking problems underneath. Who cares if the car looks cool when the body cracks in half. I'm glad you did the repairs and paint to keep it going for a long time.

While we're all in this Winter-of-love mode, I'd just like to mention that I've noticed an increase in the quality and creativity of the graphic layout, colors, and font choices. I'm not sure if it's recent or not, since I haven't been a CM subscriber until recently (just GRM all these years and occasionally picked up a CM in the store).

Disclaimer - I'm a print-n-web designer by trade, so I tend to focus on these things more than most.

Anyway, bang up job guys and gals.

Thanks everyone. We have been really trying to get the look of the magazine a little better and are trying to come up with interesting stuff to write about.
