My favorite magazine is Heavy Hitters. It’s a slick automotive/self-help US magazine about people who are wealthy and have car collections. The difference is, most of these “Heavy Hitters” are unknown.

Almost all came from the streets, other countries, or some form of hard times. You’ll find rappers, stunt doubles, refugees, and – well- me.

I’ve wanted to be in the magazine since I first saw it. Yesterday I made the January 2009 issue.

The long article on me, complete with stunning photos of my car collection, is right in the middle of the magazine.

You’ll have to go to a book store or newsstand in the US to find a copy of Heavy Hitters, as they don’t yet have a website. (I know, I know.)

I’m very proud of it, and just wanted to share the news with you. This is one of the highlights of the year for me — and it’s only day six.

Ao Akua,

PS – The article has a couple facts wrong, at least one typo, and didn’t list two of my cars, otherwise it’s accurate. Let this be yet another lesson to never believe everything you read or see in the media. (The photos in the magazine are stunning – and accurate.)

    Congratulations, Joe! You always are in a state of gratitude, and its contagious. I had to smile at your comment “I know, I know”, when you mentioned the magazine doesn’t have a website, because that was my thought, “no website?!” hehe. :mrgreen:
