Cover: Budget supercars are our theme this month. We wanted something exciting, so Art Director Mark Takahashi suggested staging a giant explosion right behind a third-generation Camaro.  After unbuckling him from his straightjacket (so he could actually create the cover), we bought the idea. Explosions are cool, don't you think? Camaro photo by Jeff Smith.
