there is an obscure hot rod magazine called "Street Scene" and they sued for the name. There was I believe either a contest or a vote for a new name and "street source" was the winner. Both names linked to the same home page for a while, then eventually you had to type in streetsourcemag.com to get here.

cool thanks for the 411. How did you get a blue light bulb and a "+" sign in front of it?

Hell yeah I remember all that. And when they had to change names. Man it is so crazy how fast time flies.

I remember when it was Street Scene and I even bought one of those boyd key chains. I think I still have it somewhere.

Damn...Five years...It was weird to look at my member since date, 7-13-2000. About a month later I bought the basis for my current project. A year after that I started designing what I was gonna build. And now, well....it's still got a few years of work. HA! Can't wait to see what the next five years brings us. I just reorganized my magazine collection over the weekend and came across my first minitruckin's I bought when I relocated to Arizona. Chris Wattier's Nissan was on the cover. I believe it was December 1998. Remember how mindblowing that truck was when it hit the scene?

Damn, I remember first visiting the site when it was street scene mag.. and there were like 8 ranger profiles id check out all the time. now there are tons of them, that goes for just about every make and model now though, i got a lot of useful ideas from this site over the years.

what year did this site crash... was it 02? I remember it a while back when i was in HS and i still had the sn Bumpinram50

i remember being a junior in high school in 01 and lookin at this site Now im a senior in college and doin the same thing

yeah i remember when it was free and it was called streetscenemag,and you always seen the SSM mascot jack,emm the good ole days,lol

and back when you started to have to pay ,it was like 12 bucks a year,lol

Haha thats funny shit, I remember when it was street scene to...as a matter of fact on my other computer its still bookmarked as Street Scene magazine. I remember the first car issue to. Its cool to see that SSM has only grown and improved.
