Submit pictures of your car to "The Street" and if we pick yours as the ride of the month, we'll send you a boxful of Mothers car care products. Or maybe a pile of smashed slalom pylons.
Just give us what we need. First, send high-resolution images (1200x1600 pixels minimum). Make sure your individual file size weighs between 400 and 500kb.
Second, we need information: performance mods as well as the year, make and model of your car. Don't forget your full name and location. And provide us contact information-an e-mail address and phone number. Tell us why your car rules and don't be afraid to be long-winded; we love to hack stuff up. Prizes shipped within continental United States only. No P.O. boxes.

Got Mail?OK, wise-ass, so you need some space to vent. Here it is. Direct letters to the editor to sccnews@primedia.com and we'll do our best to come up with a snide response. Or completely ignore you. But hey, at least you've got a voice.
Rotary LoversWhat ever happened to your RX-7 project car? I read all about what happened to your coveted RX-8, but what about her older sister? Years ago, you had an FD RX-7 project that I believe had four installments and suddenly dropped off of the map, never to be spoken of again and not even listed on any of your project updates. Why, oh why, has the best magazine in the world let the best project in the world just slip away? What happened? Where is she?AdrianFrom the Internet
Unfortunately, project RX-7 Actually, we won't bore you with the details. Let's just say she's gone and you're gonna have to learn to cope. May we suggest MySpace.com? Lots of desperate and easy chicks (or guys, if you prefer) on that Web site to help you cope with the loss. If that doesn't help, see below.
