Looks good...
Personally though, I do not read MustangEnthusiast Magazine.... As far as I know, MM&FF and 5.0 have a huge market domination in the mustang magazine game...
I would set up a poll to see what magazine we read to get the best possible bang for your buck....

My return on investment is so much better in Mustang Enthusiast. I won't expose exact numbers, but I pay about the same in Mustang Enthusiast for two full page 4-color ads, and a third page vertical 4 color as, as I pay MM/FF for one half page ad.
So I get about 5 times the ad space, in a magazine with LESS ads to begin with, for the same price. The other huge problem with MM/FF is the magazine is just way too cluttered with ads to begin with. I RARELY get phones calls from my XXXX$ spent a month on that magazine. I am much happier with MEnthusiast.
MM/FF Payed Circ = 130,000
ME Payed Circ = 60,000
Not to say I'm throwing MM/FF out the window. I'm still trying to work out something with them.

As someone who is also responsible for a business, I would like to say that you are playing the cards exactly right. Because the magazines are more popular, they are VERY cluttered with ads. The probability of responses is more slim from a popular add-cluttered magazine than to go with a less popular magazine with less adds to sift through. In addition, you are fighting less competition to sell similar items. Of course, you already know this. Just felt like backing you up.
Also, I don't know how much you advertise the MT exhaust componets but I hope it is a bunch. I hear VERY good things about them constantly and am even considering buying the x-pipe set up for myself because of what I have heard. Can't beat the price.

Supplier issues with them, I'm looking to get better prices so my profit margin is more acceptable. But yes - I hope to have that all squared away so we can continue to offer good, or possibly even better, prices on those MT X-Pipes.

Spell check if necessary about the forum thing. It says "check out of forums for discounts..." Fix it if you need to before sending it in. Also, looks good man, and you sound like you know what you are doing with the MM&FF vs. Mustang Enthusiast.
