In those thirty-something days between issues of the world's greatest magazine (that would be us, goofball) how are you supposed to occupy your time? Fear not, couch racer, because we have done countless hours of research here in our offices (aka Web surfing) to bring to you the greatest Web sites imaginable. Assembled from our comprehensive list of resource materials you can find everything from cars to girls to things that seemingly have no place in a magazine called Import Tuner-and all the work has been done for you. All that's left for you to do is type in those annoying backslashes, commas, colons, semicolons and whatnot into your computer and voil-instant gratification. A brief explanation is included with each listing; I say brief because I don't want you to know how much of a computer dork I am by getting technical or something like that. So make like Dorothy and start clicking-your mouse, not your heels.
www.importtuner.comImport Tuner Magazine OnlineNo need to explain what you'll find here-only the absolute best of what you're looking for. Make sure you visit us online because our site contains extras and expanded content that we don't include in the magazine (that means more pictures). Make sure you check out our downloadable screen savers and wallpapers of your favorite cars and 2NR models. There's also a place for you to subscribe to the world's greatest magazine.
www.musiccity.comMusic CitySince the ostensible death of Napster, this has been my peer-to-peer client of choice. (For those of you that don't know, peer-to-peer is the technology that allows you to search other people's computers for MP3s to download.) The best thing about Morpheus, the P2P search program that is offered by MusicCity, is that you can also search for downloadable programs, games (for most CD-based home systems like PlayStation), movies, and pictures. What kinds of files are people hiding on their hard drives? Well, let's just say that two weeks after a certain movie about fast cars was released on the big screen, I searched Morpheus furiously nd found the movie encoded in a format that I could watch on my computer and burn onto disc for playback on a DVD player. Pretty cool shit, I must say.
http://members.home.net/markleinThere's no possible way to explain why this personal Web page is on the list, you just have to take it with a grain of salt and see for yourself. Once you're at the home page, pull the menu down and check out the "American Standard Type R." Once you're in, make sure you check out the links to the pictures and sounds. Simple site design (almost archaic) but funnier than your grandma at a rave.

The database is broken up into easy categories (by game console, alphabetically, etc.) so you don't have to spend hours trying to find what you need. It's fast, extremely helpful, and best of all, it's free.
