I had to fix a bunch of shit this morning. Looks like some of the images were saved in CYMB mode in Photoshop. IE couldn't figure that out because it's dumb and showed a bunch of people the big red x. Fucking IE...

It's all fixed now, though, and we're going to be adding some more technical details as well. I've gotten feedback that people want to know what Big E has under the hood, what it puts down, and stuff like that. We will answer those questions!

Looking good B. Just a couple of things in my marketing mind; As much as I think Dino may hate them, I'm thinking the general public would want a face shot of some kind. Helps them connect to the person and interview. Also, you may want to do some kind of engine/chasis/car breakdown on the vehicles that you interview (and you are interviewing the vehicles, correct? But then again, as I re-read through, maybe you are not). You know the usual engine information breakdown that people like to see. Some of the info would be slightly disjointed/confusing to someone who didn't know Dino's car ("You mean a 95 Eclipse has a 2.4 engine in it?").

Just a little of my dos centavos.

Also, I am liking the layout so far.

Btw, Dino, thanks for the props.

Site looks great man. Loved the interview...and of course my fat-ass blocking part of Big E in one of the pictures in the parking lot at the Toledo meet-up spot with the MI crew...lol.

Thanks for the compliments and input, fellas.

New interviews are asking about mods and that data will be presented at the end of the interview. I would really like to get pictures of the owners WITH their cars, but it's a bit tricky right off the bat. I've teamed up with some photogs over at Mitsu-Media to go out into the field to shoot features near them, and getting a shot of the owner and the Mitsubishi will be part of the deal.

Barza might definitely be covered one day. Right now, we're working on keeping a diverse mix of Mitsubishis. If I didn't share it yet here, the rest of October is looking to include an Evo, Starion and/or Starlet, and a Stealth RT. I'll see about contacting Bill, but I don't think he has any more Mitsubishis. Does he?

Also, you guys can always help out. If you know someone with a cool Mitsubishi, drop an email to editor@gearboxmagazine.com or use the email form on the site and let us know. Variety is the spice of life, though, so bear in mind we're going to be really keen to hear about Mitsus other than DSM or Evos.

Again, thanks for the compliments and input. This is all for you guys.
