I did a quick lookaround the other night, but haven't found it yet. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably the February '93 issue...

There's absolutely *no* chance that I'd ever do that. I'm religiously, ethically, and morally opposed to Playboy (and anything else akin to it). So replicating one of their stickers/awards/etc is completely out of the question for me

Here (finally) is a pic of the 2-page spread they gave the FD.

If you're not on a high-speed connection, note that it's a 250kB file before you click on it:

The May 1992 Playboy with Anna Nicole Smith(centerfold, not on the cover BTW) has the Debut' of the 1993 RX7 and the Dodge Viper, describes the FD as a Stiletto, where the Viper as a sledgehammer.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for... but a good article just the same.

It was true, but it didn't last forever! I think it was good for a year or two. Maybe three. I never needed to use it.

That's what she said

It's not my sig, just an attachment. It looked like trash when I reduced it any further...

Oh yeah, I love ****...

My FD came w/ one of those Roadside Assistance cards, w/ a 1-800 # to call and everything. Of course it was expired for quite some time haha.

Oh and Yoshi, thanks for the kind words

Road Side Assistance program was three years of service from the playmate of the month. Why do you think we were always finding ways to make our cars break down, and you guys though they were just not engineered.made well.

So...is it THIS issue, then? Because I want to buy the issue with the PCOY in it, but...I find it strange there is no mention of this car on the cover...
