I was actually a bit disappointed with the bikini sluts.  Maybe I'm  
just old fashioned, but this really shouldn't be necessary to sell  
magazines, unless of course, the sluts are the focus of the magazine  
in question.  For SCC, pure car content and raw horsepower were all  
that was really needed.

Maybe they were just included to balance out the pics of the ugly  
dudes with their cars, I don't know...  ;)
