It's that monthly time again for us to dedicate a few pages to our loyal readers. For the month of April, we had some unusual readers submit rides. If you want to see your car here and possibly win some free parts, send some high-resolution photos of your ride to readersrides@superstreetonline.com. Make sure the JPEGs are 1500x1000 dpi. Do not try to use your camera phone. We don't care how much you like your iPhone, it will suck and will not look good at all - trust us! For snail mail users, send your letters to Super Street, c/o Readers Rides, 6420 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90048. Don't forget to tell us your full name, where you live, highlights of your mods, and your quote.

This month's winner, Gary Edward De Leon, wins a set of TSW Snetterton wheels! (www.tsw.com).Gary Edward De Leon
Rocks A '91 Mazda RX-7 TURBO II
See It Rolling IN bellflower, CA
Peep The Right-hand drive conversion, S5 JDM engine, JDM ECU, ACT flywheel, heavy-duty clutch, short shifter, boost controller, Knight Sports fuel cut defender, Walbro 255 fuel pump, intake, Sheepdog BOV, no emissions, no heater, no AC, GP Sports body kit, NSX Formula Red, and 8000K HID, JDM interior, Kenwood head unit, 3rd Gen RX-7 rims painted black.
GARY EDWARD SAYS, "Thanks for the magazine. It helps me kill time when I'm not doing anything."
We Say Looks pretty good, but you're not fooling anyone by painting factory wheels black. You need some aftermarket wheels and we're going to help you.

Luke Munnell
Rocks A 1993 Mazda Miata
See It Rolling In Anaheim, CA
Peep The Jackson Racing high-flow cat, Racing Beat 4-1 header, Auto Meter gauges, K&N intake and GReddy exhaust.
Luke Says, "Don't tell my co-editors Carter or Scott, but I'd much rather read Super Street than Import Tuner."
We Say We couldn't leave you out Luke. Keep up the good work, and you could someday be our readers' of the month.

Howard Lim
Rocks A 2008 BMW 7-Series
See It Rolling In Hermosa Beach, CA
Peep The 22" VIP Modular wheels for big pimpin'.
Howard Says, "I love Super Street so much I'm going to give everyone a raise, especially that handsomely estrange editor Charles Trieu."
WE SAY Charles will settle for a drive in your Porsche Turbo or Lambo.

Samuel Du
Rocks A 2003 Volkswagen GTI
See It Rolling In Los Angeles, CA
Peep The 19" BBS LM wheels, Status bucket seats, Auto Power rollbar, H&R coilovers, euro bumpers, GIAC ECU
Sam Says, "When I'm not working at eurotuner, I'm usually at the gym pumping mad iron. And just the thought of how cool Super Street is, makes me work harder. Thanks you guys."
We Say We know you really didn't beat Charles at karting. And we won't say anything about you spinning out the Porsche and RX-8 at the track. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Peter Tarach
Rocks A 1997 Nissan 240SX
See It Rolling In Toronto, Canada
Peep The SR20Det swap, JE pistons, Eagle rods, ARP head studs, Full-Race turbo manifold, Exedy clutch and flywheel.
Peter Says, "Since Modifed magazine doesn't have models, Super Street makes for the perfect bathroom magazine. Wait, that didn't come out right."
We Say Sweet ride. But if you're planning on bringing it with you to LA, good luck with the smog.

Carter Jung
