THE MAGAZINE ROOM Where does the time go?
Each year seems to pass by faster and faster. This December 2011 marks the 13th year that Gauge Magazine has been online. The tenth year with Chris Wright as our designer. This issue that you are reading is the 156th one with no interruptions and has always been free to you the reader, our fans. We took a big step back in November of 2010 and gave the website and magazine a complete facelift, moving to modern formats that have drastically improved the experience. The new website and magazine layout has almost doubled our traffic in just over a year. Make sure to check out all the new advertisers this month. I can t wait to see what this next year has to offer. We basically finished out the year with the greatest show on earth, SEMA. This issue is jammed packed with 100 percent SEMA show coverage plus some great features from across the lands. Coverage of this year s SEMA event was shot by photographers EROD, CHROMEY, CHRIS BARNES, MIKE BUTRY and I Double D. Don t forget to Click for more Coverage at the end of the coverage to see nearly 2000 photos from this year s event. I would like to thank everyone that was involved in bringing TITOS truck together and finishing it up for SEMA. The truck turned out awesome and I know he is thankful for the hours of labor of Love that went into it. This year was a great year. I would like to thank all the fans of Gauge Magazine, all the show promoters that take care of us at shows, vehicle owners that wanted their rides featured, all the Gauge Girls that have graced the covers this past year, the great staff of photographers that are working with me at this time, Chris Wright that makes this thing come together each month and my family that lets me do what I do. Hope everybody has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Also, don t forget to check out all the great holiday deals on parts and merchandise at www.Gauge-Store.com.
