There's always about a 3 week period before the each issue arrives that I check my mailbox like a 7yr old on Christmas morning. Each issue stays on the coffee table until the next issue arrives to replace it. Loved the coverage on the Mondello and Matsubara Fiat! I personally spent about an hour physically looking that car over at Bakersfield in October, and your article pointed out things I completely missed. Although it only spent a short time on the track in it's heyday, the car left a lasting impression on me. I am a huge fan of hot rod history, and TRJ is the only publication that gets it right.

Also, in reguard to processing time, what journal issue will I recieve when I subscribe latter this month or in March. Thankyou, Rick Hello,
