Steve Moskowitz Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well, apparently a few people had issues getting their magazines and certainly got them late! we often wonder what in the world happens to them but our investigations have never been able to pinpoint a cause. So here I go teasing you with the fact that the next issue will blow you away! Great articles and a cover/centerfold that is spectacular. Personally, I think it is one of our best and rivals the "02" Cadillac and 1911 Olds cover. The car and setting are terrific. Magazine will be at the USPS on January 11th so clear a little time for a good read. In the meantime, a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year from all of us at national headquarters. We appreciate getting to serve you (those who are not members, shame on you!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock_steve Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Awesome! Keep up the fantastic work, Steve--it's appreciated!Also just read about your significant involvement in the "Grand Ascent at Hershey," June 11-12, 2011 (benefiting Juvenile Diabetes--excellent cause), in the latest Auto Restorer (January 2011) that arrived today in my mailbox--sounds very exciting--nice work!Happy New Year Steve and all,Steve MierzStony Creek, CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nearchoclatetown Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I already did that, he wasn't happy. I think he said he starts getting happy tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 I didn't say I was happy! Just wished everyone the best...even you two characters are included! Hoover, if you want a certain item sitting on my desk you better play nice. As far as the other one is concerned, just hope you had a nice evening last night! Sorry for the inside jokes everyone but these two AACA members take pride in busting my chops....I put up with them as they are actually good guys and do a lot for our organization. Wow, was that hard to admit! Thank you Steve, we have a great group of guys trying to do something significant for everyone. I am proud to be a part of this effort. The Ascent and Elegance have the potential to be an incredible weekend for the hobby.

bill pritchett Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Steve, that sounds great. However, will the centerfold have staples in it and include a data sheet? The magazine has been doing a great job, and I look forward to receiving it. Now with a centerfold - what more can I ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Peterson Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 There is a data box for the car, but it is not placed on the centerford (centerspread, actually). I have included data boxes on a few of the cars featured in this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Peterson Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Just enough plaid to cover the subject!Reminds me of a saying my high school speech teacher told our class:West obviously you were in an all boys school!

Bhigdog Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Steve, when you touted this issue as being one of the best I thought "Oh Oh, raising expectations is never a good idea", but West and his elves came through. Excellant issue with great shots and, more important to me, interesting reading............Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Moskowitz Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Bob, that is me...always living dangerously! The magazine does not just happen..West works awful hard on it and the rest of the contributors as well. It is a struggle for Adriana to fill the advertising for each issue and we would not have as good of a magazine if we could not manage our costs and quality. Postal rates are going up this April for periodicals and once again it impacts our bottom line, Glad you enjoyed the issue...heck, West even managed to hit his deadline this issue! Magazine out in record time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCHinson Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 There is no logical explanation for the USPS. I have often seen substantial differences in the amount of time it takes for them to arrive in the same town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W_Higgins Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Matt, how come yours got there today, and mine didn't and I'm 55 or so miles from you...BA couple of years ago I sent a somewhat large package to a town only 60 miles away. It took over two weeks for him to get it. After the postal clerk got snotty for me inquiring he explained that a lot of it is due to the use of more contract carriers. When things start to go between small towns, they wait for the pallet to fill up to make it worthwhile to move it. I was shipping from a small town to a small down, so there probably wasn't much traffic that direction. This was before they had real tracking and what I sent wasn't really replaceable so I was getting nervous.This is why USPS gets a big fat "F" for service. I told the clerk that when you supply a service comparable to another firm for the same rate, you have a reasonable expectation of similar performance and that FedEx would have gotten it there in a few days, at most, and at the very least would have been able to tell me where it is. His answer: "Than you should have used FedEx".... and that's precisely what I've done with every package since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlier Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hey Wayne, Did you get your copy of the magazine yet?I guess your copy and mine are on the same slow boat from China. Funny thing is I live only about 60 miles east of Hershey and not in a rural area. As of yesterday, I had not received the magazine. I wonder what the record is for the shortest distance from Hershey taking the longest time to be delivered? IIRC the magazine is not printed near Hershey so I know that distance from Hershey is not a factor.I will give it some more time as no doubt the USPS will deliver my AACA Magazine.Do have to wonder who will receive their magazine last. Any thoughts Wayne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
