Anyone else have problems with Nov 06 issue of MM&FF?

[88_GT_5_oh]

I just bought MM&FF and was just doing a quick skim through it when I realized pages 67-98 are in the magazine twice AND pages 99-131 are completely missing!

Has anyone else experienced this for this issue? Or did I get the one screwed up print job?

I emailed their customer service dept. I hope they get back to me and send me a new issue, b/c I feel cheated out of a chunk of the magazine!

i work in a print shop and i know how this happens. magazines are printed in sections (eg. p.1-16 , 17-32, etc. etc.) when they are loaded into the machine for binding they are loaded by hand. what happened was someone mixed up 2 sections, this is the kinda stuff people will get suspended for or even loose their job! it has nothing to do with the magazine itself, it was an error in the printshop. when this happens the magazines are gone through by hand, probably only a couple got through by accident. when the machine is running it can be going 5000-8000 magazines per hour, so it don't take long to spoil alot of books

just wanted to clear that up. also if you have subscriptions your chances of getting a bad copy are greater (mixed up pages are very rare) whenever there are bad books for either crappy color, misaligned photos, etc. they get put in the "mail pile" because they are already paid for, they want the ones on the shelf to look pretty lol

Although I agree that that Fox's aren't getting as much exposure as they used to, can you really blame the magazines for moving on with the times? Sure, I guess they could do a few more owners rides features to keep the 5.0L guys happy, but there are only so many pages in a magazine and they've got to go with the money, right? With the recent rise in S197 popularity and quick explosion into the aftermarket, it only makes sense for them to cater to its needs more than that of the car that hasn't been made in 15-years. And as far as tech goes....I mean, how many times can they run the same throttle body and exhaust swaps before it becomes old news?

One of the only times I will ever find myself agreeing 100 percent with you my friend...
