About Me

Since 1993, Gearhead Magazine has been your pop culture pit stop for all the hot rod / kustom / muscle car / drag racing action you can handle… with a punk & roll soundtrack that can’t be topped. Check out www.gearheadmagazine.com for current and back issues (as seen below), a 24/7 internet radio station, and the entire line of Gearhead Apparel.

My Interests

The 3 R's: Rods, Rock, Roth

I'd like to meet:

Like minded folks who get what we do, subscribers and long-time readers, car clubs, folks who can turn a wrench as well as people that just dig the related art and hot rod aesthetic... and Baron Davis!
