And I thought I was the only one who thought this!! If they were sending these things out for free as ordering magazines (like other normal companies) then there wouldn't be any discussion. But if you are going to charge a yearly subscription to a magazine that only has DMC Houstons tips, trick, parts order think again. The other vendors all have the same parts along with THEIR own improved parts (such as Zilla products) along with their tech tips and so on. Start including ads for other vendors in your magazine along with some tips/articles from other vendors, etc. These vendors buy parts from you guys so it's not like your loosing money if someone goes somewher else for parts OR to get their car repaired there. Baaahh I've rambled on enough....think again about what your about to publish in your next and future publication. Anyone that wants to plunk down their hard earn cash for an ad magazine give me a call...I have plenty of ad magazines I have here that I get in the mail to sell. Steve P.S. Didn't DMC Houston say that they would gladly give John Delorean's trademark back to him if he requested it? --- In dmcnews@xxxx, "Marc A.
