|  The
month of August always marks
the busiest time of the year
for top notch car shows.
This month we are on the road
back to back weekends hitting
some of the largest events in
the country plus, gearing up
for our annual Truck
Bash open house. Make
sure to visit our even calendar
and catch us at one of these
upcoming featured events. http://archive.gaugemagazine.com/eventcalendar
It's
official - Gauge Magazine.com
now has a mySpace page.
Staff photographer Erod has
created a page for us to join
the party on my space. Please
make sure to stop by and join
our friends list. http://www.myspace.com/gaugemagazine
This month we start off the
issue joining staff photographer
Toby Mosholder in Wisconsin
at the cover photo shoot of
Bill Dieterich’s 1995
Chevy 3500 Dually,
featuring the beautiful Jessica
Barrett. The minute
our staff laid eyes on the two
of them we knew it was a perfect
combo. Both of these features
are a for sure not to miss.
For most people building a vehicle
they start off slow and then
something motivates them to
go extreme. The desire to be
totally different is what motivated
Shane Kirk with his
1999 Honda Civic. After
just one look; staff photographer
Brad Walker knew that this Honda
was made for the pages of Gauge
with all the unique modifications.
The Chevy Cavalier has
been one of the most modified
vehicles to ever hit the streets.
When building one you have to
be very selective on modifications
to make sure you stay above
the competition in this very
tough class. A radical body
kit, great color combination,
and a turbo under the hood is
how feature vehicle owner Brett
McCall stays in front
of the competition. Make sure
to check out this awesome feature
with the super sexy Gauge model
Shannon Coyle.
For
show coverage this month we
start off with Staff photographer
Brad Walker in Pigeon
Forge, TN for the 17th
annual Drop-Em-Wear Mini Truck
Nationals. Sandy and
her crew at Classy Creations
always work hard to host this
great show in the Tennessee
mountains. For info on next
years show visit www.classycreations.com

up with staff photographer Toby
Mosholder in Cincinnati,
OH for Summer
Showdown II presented

Staying with Toby we travel
to Wisconsin for the ever famous
DropFest.
This year marked the 6th
of this northern event. With
a location like the Wisconsin
International Raceway you know
the event will pack in the participants.
This is exactly what James and
his crew did. I cant wait to
attend the 2007 event. www.dropfest.com
To finish up the month we travel
West with Staff photographer
Jason Peckovitch to attend the
Extreme Autofest. Hot
girls, hot cars and a hot summer
Colorado day were the perfect
combination for this event.
Make sure to follow the entire
Autofest tour at www.extremeautofest.com
At the start of next
month Gauge Magazine along with
co sponsor GM Accessories will
host our 3rd annual
Slamology Car, Truck and Music

has been growing leaps and bounds
every year. This year will be
no different!! We have many
great activities planned for
the entire family. Make sure
