Tabac Circuit de Monaco is regarded as one of the best street circuits in history. With its elevation changes and extremely tight corners, the Monaco Grand Prix remains one of the most important races on the F1 calendar.

The design and engineering team at TSW has traditionally drawn inspiration from race circuits to bring new wheel styles to our collection.

For 2020, TSW is proud to introduce the Tabac. The Tabac is named after Virage du Tabac; turn 12 of the Monaco race circuit.

The TSW Tabac features a performance oriented split 5-spoke design with an undulating surface inset to accent the aggressive spoke styling. A deep concave profile further emphasizes the Tabac’s open spoke design.

Standard finish for the Tabac is Semi Gloss Black.

Available in 17”, 18”, 19”, and 20” sizes.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE

THANK YOU It’s hard to believe we’ve just put the final touches on our 20th Anniversary Issue! We’ve spent the past six months scouring the archives to highlight the best-of-the-best from the past two decades and were thoroughly entertained as we looked back at some of the amazing cars, people, and shows we’ve covered so far.

The PASMAG brand has changed considerably since our fledgling days as a print magazine, but our amazing staff, contributors, partners, and audience have been the driving force since 1999.

Thank you.

Our entire team of editors, writers, designers, and photographers strive to create and share engaging, informative, and innovative content from across the entire scene. Our goal has been to cover not just performance, not just car audio, not just style, but everything that goes into a complete build.

Whether for “show” or for “go,” our passion is telling the stories behind the builds, teams, and personalities that we’ve been so fortunate to cover for over 20 years.

While our digital and social platforms continue to grow, our print editions provide the perfect medium to filter the noise and confusion, highlight the latest trends, and celebrate the passion that modified car culture is known for.

We’ll continue to educate, entertain, and hopefully inspire our audience across our print, digital, social, and event platforms for another 20 years!

Without your support we wouldn’t have made it 20 months, let alone 20 years!

THE FOUNDER

FRANK SPEZZANO PASMAG’s origin story goes back to Toronto in 1998, on the third floor of an old building on Yonge Street at the offices of the Buy & Sell Newspaper and Performance Racing News (PRN).

PRN was approaching its 10th anniversary and produced an annual special guide for the Molson Indy race event in Toronto. Frank was working at the Buy & Sell, and thought that there was a need in the marketplace for a car audio magazine.

With the green light from the publishers, Perry & Blake Breslin, Frank created the first Performance Audio Sound magazine that was included in PRN’s Molson Indy special edition.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Frank immediately began work on the next issue which was launched at the Speedorama Car Show in 1999.

Frank continued to improve the quality of PASMAG with each issue and built an exceptional team - many of whom still work with PASMAG today. His tenacity and passion helped create an alternative to the mainstream tuner titles that continued even after he sold his interest in 2012.

Thank You! Tim

Without Frank, there would be no PASMAG and for that we are all thankful.

Can you believe it’s been 20 years of PASMAG? We can barely wrap our heads around it. Two decades of Performance Auto and Sound Magazine has been a wild ride from the very beginning, challenging conventions in the automotive landscape, and defying the odds to stay a relevant and powerful source of information and entertainment. From the initial launch of our pilot issues, all the way to modern PASMAG issues, sans-models, some of you readers have been here through it all.

This book serves as a proverbial yearbook of the past 20 years of our magazines, contributors, partners, and audience members. We take a look back at the events, feature cars, people, and projects that made PASMAG the powerhouse of automotive media coverage that it is today. From humble beginnings, the brand has grown to produce more than 190 original print magazines, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the people within these pages.

As you turn the pages, we hope we can take you on a journey back in time to when the modified car scene was still in its infancy. We will time-travel all the way from 1999 to 2019, giving you a glimpse of the cars, the people, and the events that defined entire eras of the aftermarket automotive world. Some of you may even find photos of your much younger selves in here! Don’t worry, no one is judging.

20 long years in our industry has helped us build so many bridges and relationships, and we wanted to showcase all of our family members in this 20th Anniversary issue.

Like many great brands and iconic names before it, PASMAG didn’t just happen overnight. Before there were regularly occurring PASMAG issues, the launch team tested the waters with some pilot issues.

Featuring the cars and mobile electronics that everyone desired at the time, the three pilot issues were a hit. This opened the floodgates, and after three feeler issues, the PASMAG brand launched its regular magazines on newsstands everywhere.

It turns out you can cover a lot of events in 20 years - so many, in fact, that we wouldn’t be able to fit every event we’ve ever covered in this book even if it was entirely dedicated to the events of the past two decades! We were, however, able to put together a trip through some of the highlights of shows and events featured in PASMAG, from the stage to the track and back again.

IT’S EASY TO TAKE PHOTOS FOR GRANTED IN OUR SMARTPHONE-FILLED WORLD, BUT GATHERING IMAGES FROM AS FAR BACK AS 1999 WAS NO EASY TASK. CHECK OUT SOME OF THESE MAGAZINE SCANS!

9 1 0 2 “It only seems like yesterday we all gathered our collective thoughts in putting together the first Darknights Nationals, Canada’s largest aftermarket car show, and PASMAG was printing their first magazine both in 1999! While many from the same automotive era have moved on to different things, I’m glad there are some of us still in the industry who can still recall the so-called trend set 20 years ago!”

2 9 9 9 1 “It was around 2002 - 2003 when I discovered Performance Auto and Sound Magazine. Back then the industry was thriving and the show scene was at its peek. I remember flipping through the pages seeing coverage from events I was a part of and then seeing vehicles from our shows getting full spreads. I even had the honor of contributing some content to PASMAG. PASMAG was and always has been a dedicated supporter of the industry first and a business second. The team understands that the industry is a hobby first and has always treated it that way. Congrats on the 20 year mark - and here is to the next 20!”

PASMAG EVENTS “I’ve been reading PASMAG since day one! It always covered everything, which gave you a sense of that you weren’t missing anything even though the magazine touched on I.C.E., performance and event coverage.

Perhaps the greatest thing that I liked about PASMAG is that it was from Canada and did not ignore the Canadian scene but rather the opposite in giving it great support. Always a class organization with great staff. It was like always running into a good old friend at every event!”

2 9 9 9 1 - ALLAN CHAN, DRIVEN / DTP / SCP / SCN

“PASMAG and Sport Compact Performance (SCP) were partners in crime throughout the 2000s. We built and grew the scene together from the ground up in Canada. Congrats to PASMAG for staying relevant and true to car culture.”

“The industry has changed my life and gave me the chance to showcase my love and creativity of vehicles that most people only dream of accomplishing. At the end of my journey, we created many vehicles that had the honor of gracing the cover and pages of PASMAG.

“Congratulations to PASMAG for 20 years! My dream was to one day grace the pages of Performance Auto & Sound Magazine, and that dream became reality first in 2002 with my Acura Integra, then with my Nissan 350Z on the cover, followed by my Cadillac CTS! Through a period of about seven to eight years, I met with a lot of staff members from this magazine, like Randi Bentia and Matthew Adolfo, at various events like Hot Import Nights, SCP, Darknights, and SEMA. The staff and members of this publication were always awesome to connect with!”

“Congratulations, PASMAG! Thank you for being a part of my amazing ride, not only for affording me the opportunity to showcase the “Mistress” on the cover of your magazine, but for the fun times during the photo shoot, and the crazy times had at all the shows and events.

Without PASMAG many of us car enthusiasts wouldn’t have a medium to show the world our art.”

“The relationship between Team Hybrid and PASMAG was a match made in Hybrid heaven. The formula is simple: steady expansion, calculated risks, giving enthusiasts and the import industry one-off, innovative over-the-top Hybrid-Hard-Tuned quality vehicles which included performance and audio content that readers, as well as builders and industry professionals turned to as one of the top trusted sources and most comprehensive magazine to keep up with the latest and greatest on the market. Cheers to 20 years, PASMAG. Hybrid luv!”

I remember the car wasn’t even ready for the season yet! The car has come a long way since then! One of the few, quality, full print magazines still out there!

“Time flies when you’re having fun! This holds true looking back on how the car scene has progressed. It’s hard to believe it’s been 22 years running with my car fam, Jade Motorsports, and we’re still reppin’ in the scene, now both on the East Coast and West Coast! Our car passion and lifestyle have been rewarded with movie cameos such as Fast and Furious, the many best crew and individual awards, to all of the magazine features on our cars! On a special note, PASMAG has been covering the scene, and it’s their 20th anniversary! Special shoutout to Randi Bentia and the PAS staff on their 20th year anniversary! Thanks for all the love and support! I still to this day look at my NSX feature framed on my wall before I ride out in my NSX and feel blessed for all the friendships along the way! Stay tuned and watch out for more builds from our up and coming crew members in Jade Motorsports!”

“Over the past 20 years, PASMAG has had a major influence on the aftermarket tuning culture.

I’ve always followed and read PASMAG to see what’s new and trending in the scene. Much love to the PASMAG team for giving me the experience of a lifetime during the 2014 Tuner Battlegrounds competition at SEMA in Vegas. Lifelong memories were made that I will cherish forever. Gracing the cover of PASMAG was also a lifelong goal that I accomplished after winning the Tuner Battlegrounds competition. I owe this all to the PASMAG team.

Thanks for everything and keep it up!”

“I was first introduced to PASMAG’s Tuner Battlegrounds by my good friend and Garage106 crew-mate, Anthony DeGuzman, who entered and also won the 2014 Championship. This is a competition of finesse and endurance, which ultimately demands respect something that’s not given or taken, but earned. I think it’s earned by respecting yourself in order to have a positive effect on everyone you influence, car enthusiast or not. Congratulations on your 20th year anniversary, PASMAG!”

ICONIC

BUILDERS

THEN TILL NOW

Every now and then, a vehicle builder is so good at what they do that their name appears in PASMAG on more than one occasion. Throughout the years, some of our favorite builders have returned time and time again, raising the bar as they showcase their vision on a variety of platforms. These are some of PASMAG’s most iconic builders from inception to modern day.

CLARION BUILDS With a penchant for restoring and modifying niche classic platforms, the team at Clarion Builds has made their way into the pages of PASMAG over the years with a variety of resto-modded projects. Started in 2014 by Clarion, Clarion Builds is an innovative marketing program designed to tackle unique restoration projects of iconic cars and trucks in cooperation with key partners, hand-selected for each individual project. Each build starts off with a less-than stellar candidate chassis, each one chosen by its overall uniqueness and compatibility with the Clarion Builds team vision. Once completely rebuilt, the final mission of each project is to raise a substantial amount of funds through a Barrett-Jackson auction, proceeds of which are entirely donated to a worthy charity. We’re honored to have been even a small part of each Clarion Builds project, and we’re thrilled that Clarion and the Clarion Builds team have chosen us time and time again to properly represent their efforts!

“Clarion Builds cars are museum-quality builds, but they are designed to be driven and enjoyed daily. Even though the Clarion Builds cars look to be in mostly stock condition from the outside, we left no part of each build untouched. Once we have a perfectly restored shell, we go full throttle on the essentials, like rebuilding and modifying the engine, rebuilding or swapping the transmission, upgrading the suspension, stance and brakes, exhaust and more. All of this gets done to ensure that these cars could actually hold their own on the street, track, and beyond.”

CLARION BUILDS COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR

J.J. DUBEC

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRANDON ZANGALIA (@NEVERLIFT.MEDIA)

Ever since his Liberty Walk GT-R went viral, subsequently leading to one of our most popular features, J.J. Dubec has been constantly asking: “What’s next?” That ever-evolving mentality has led that very GT-R through numerous iterations, improving and inspiring audiences with each new version of the build.

Throughout the years, Dubec landed himself a bit of an unofficial brand ambassador role for Liberty Walk, developing a close personal relationship with Wataru Kato, and putting Canada’s high-end tuner scene on the map internationally. Builds like his Ferrari 458 and Acura NSX have gone on to showcase incredible craftsmanship from both his build partners as well as Liberty Walk, and his GT-R is constantly transforming. Expect something completely new from him and F7LTHY in the near future as well!

#WHATSNEXT

BASIT MIRZA Some of our readers might recognize Basit Mirza’s name from his popular car show series: ImportFest, known as “Canada’s biggest and baddest” car show! In 2001 Mirza launced Importfest and unveiled the “Maxboost Civic” to the world – a tricked out 1993 Honda Civic hatchback with a custom widebody kit, MAXBOOST airbrushed graphics, and a supercharged engine. From that Civic’s debut, things snowballed into a wide variety of high-profile builds to put Canada on the map! Builds of his include a 2004 BMW 645 which was supercharged, a 2015 Lexus RC 350 F Sport with the first Rocket Bunny kit for the platform in Canada, a 2008 Porsche Cayman 987 with the first Rocket Bunny kit in Canada, and most recently, Canada’s first Rocket Bunny Pandem equipped Honda Civic EG hatchback, returning to the platform that started it all for him.

“Building cars has always been a passion of mine. It began back in the late 90’s when the car scene was just starting to take off. My Maxboost Civic will forever be the iconic flagship of my era.

I am grateful to have been part of this industry for the past two decades hosting ImportFest and building cars!”

BASIT MIRZA,

CEO - IMPORTFEST

THEN TILL NOW

BEN SCHAFFER / BULLETPROOF AUTOMOTIVE Bulletproof Automotive is a name familiar to most California enthusiasts. Founded in 2000, the California based shop and retailer has been representing and distributing the highest quality brands in both Japanese and exotic car tuning.

The owner of Bulletproof Automotive, Ben Schaffer, has put together or overseen the process of countless builds on the west coast and beyond. Always looking forward, Schaffer went on to start another brand: Unplugged Performance - the current world leader of Tesla performance and customization modification. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Schaffer, Bulletproof, and Unplugged in the future.

“Back in 2000 I started Bulletproof Automotive as a way to introduce the Japanese tuning brands that I loved to the world,” Shaffer says. “Over the years we became well known for making complete demo cars that we’ve taken to Tokyo to race at famous circuits, and that we’ve built for amazing clients around the world. My journey began as a Japanese tuning brand representative, gradually turned into a custom car building business, and later turned into tuning brands of original products. Sometimes the answers are right in front of us. In our case, in 2013 we found ourselves as neighbors with Tesla. As we talked to Tesla we became excited about their cars and we were challenged to reconsider what the future of car tuning might look like with more electric cars on the horizon. At

102

PASMAG

the time there were no Tesla tuning companies, so we decided to take a big leap of faith and began Unplugged Performance.

All of the lessons we’ve learned working for decades with Top Secret, Amuse, Mines, Varis and others we applied to our own product development and brand concept for Tesla. Since then we’ve been leading forward a new movement of electric car tuning into new uncharted territory with both UP and also our TeslaCorsa track events. For us, the passion for car tuning never dies, but it also never stands still. It simply moves forward and evolves with the types of cars that we have access to. Whether it is our full dry carbon Overtake R35 GT-R or our dry carbon Unplugged Performance S-APEX widebody Tesla Model S, the same principles of extreme quality and purposeful functionality apply to all of our builds.

I’ve had a great time collaborating with the talented team at PASMAG over many years. In fact, Bulletproof Automotive will hit our 20 year mark as well in 2020!

We’ve been collaborating on some exciting car projects for literally decades. That is something very special to have that history. I love the independent spirit of PASMAG. Twenty years is truly a milestone in any industry, especially in the magazine business, so the talent and dedication truly shows!

Congratulations and wishing many more to come!”

NEIL TJIN Neil Tjin of Tjin Edition has had numerous builds featured in PASMAG, but his expertise as a builder and build consultant started long before his first feature in our pages. Since 1996, Tjin has been toying with vehicles alongside his wife Mei and his brother Gene, and since 2018 his son Collin Tjin has joined the team!

After achieving recognition for his efforts in the industry, his building career snowballed from owning his own wholesale parts company to starting Tjin Edition, where he now builds and designs vehicles for OEM manufacturers and endorses products from some of the industry’s leading brands by using them in his builds. With numerous partnerships and personal relationships across the industry, Tjin’s widespread network allows him to collaborate and build well-rounded projects that are pleasing to their OEM contractors, the aftermarket sponsors, and the audiences that enjoy them on the show floor.

“I started reading PASMAG when I lived in Miami back in the late 90s, and have been a fan ever since,” Tjin writes. “I moved to SoCal in 2003, and have been blessed to have several of my cars and trucks featured in their publications.

They have withstood the test of time, as other magazines fell by the wayside, and that is the testament to their hard work, great staff, and outstanding content!”

KIA FORTE KOUP 2011

Introduced in 2008, Kia’s Forte was starting to creep its way into the aftermarket conversation. As aftermarket companies started to include the Forte and Forte Koup as a respected competitor to the big name sport compacts, we worked with Kia to build a special Forte Koup that would show the car scene that Kia was serious about sport compact fun. Modified in every aspect from front to back, the unique project quickly gained attention at shows and meets.

SCION IQ 2012

Scion’s tiny terror, the iQ, was a PASMAG project excerise in creative aesthetics and big mobile electronics in a small package. While the engine and drivetrain remained stock, we packed as much fun and excitement into the pint-sized platform as we could find room for. The Five Axis FIVE:AD aero kit and a carbon fiber hood helped the iQ look showroom ready, and the full Clarion audio system paired well with the Samsung TV and Playstation in the trunk. Good things definitely do come in small packages!

HONDA REMIX 2011

Honda‘s prowess in the world of sport compacts has been invented and reinvented time and time again. When the team at Honda aimed to remix the sport compact market once again in 2011, they reached out to PASMAG to help put an enthusiats spin on the new CR-Z, as well as the V6 Accord coupe, putting the wheels in motion on the first ever PAS Honda Remix project. Thanks to a bunch of quality partners, we showed the world that the automotive aftermarket was ready for the new wave of Honda sport compacts.

“THE ADRENALINE PROJECT” SONY SCION TC 2012

Scion had only been in North America for about a year at the time, and had already closely tied itself to the aftermarket upon launch. Sony Canada saw even more potential in the fun and customizable platforms offered

by Scion, and came to PASMAG with an idea: a Scion tC build which would showcase all of the mobile electronics offerings that we could fit inside it. The result was a tastefully modified tC which boasted an incredible Sony entertainment system as the heart of the build.

HONDA REMIX 2.0

2012

After the success of the first PASMAG Honda Remix project, the Honda team once again entrusted us to show the aftermarket scene what the new Honda platforms were capable of. This time around, the focus was on performance potential, so a turbocharger was installed on the Civic Si, and a supercharger was installed on the Accord. Of course, we couldn’t stop there. Sleek and subtle exterior modifications matched the aftermarket trends at the time, and we got some audio equipment in each of the cars so we could still enjoy music over the boosted engines.

PAS PROJECT

TUNED BY HONDA 2013

Two consecutive years of well received Honda Remix projects landed us another pair of Honda’s most popular selling cars once again. This time, we got the chance to run wild.

When we couldn’t decide between form or function, we decided to do both! The result was a VIP-inspired luxury Accord build and a sport-inspired Civic Si, all assembled with the help of skilled fabricators, installers, and partners of PASMAG.

2016

Another Accord? You bet. In 2016 we got our hands on the radically redesigned Accord V6, and decided to do some radical redesigning of our own. With an emphasis on building a show car, we employed big wheels, Air Lift Performance air suspension, a potent audio system, and a unique vinyl wrap to go with our bodywork and engine modifications in perfect harmony.

SCION XD 2008

When PASMAG Editor Adam Gordon picked up a gutted 1990 Nissan 240sx as a personal project, we embarked on a journey to take the car from an old track toy back to the perfect street car, essentially going in reverse from what most 240sx owners end up doing. After two years of working with great partners, the build was at home on the street - reliable, comfortable, and stylish.

Our very first project with Scion! When Scion was just a new kid on the block in the automotive aftermarket, we spoke to them at their LA offices about building a wild project for them. By the time we were finished with the car, Scion got even more than they expected thanks to our partners, which helped us go on to build further projects with them the following years.

“I worked with PASMAG as a photographer and writer for more than 10 years. In the beginning, PASMAG was willing to listen to my crazy ideas for shoots and features, and let me roll with them when other magazines were printing the same formulaic content as each other. PASMAG was a great partner to work with, and I was always proud to showcase the magazines to my family and friends!”

“I’ve always been a big fan of PASMAG because of their diverse coverage.

From fully built track cars to show-stoppers, they have it all. I still remember our Japan trip to Tokyo Auto Salon where we got to check out some of sickest cars in the world and hit up tracks like Ebisu. I’m stoked to be part of the PASMAG team to help them represent on the West Coast. Great group of guys. Cheers to another 20 years of awesomeness.”

20TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION

S TA F F & A L U M N I We’ve been fortunate enough to work alongside all sorts of incredible people in the PASMAG offices throughout the years. From writers, to sales staff, and to the administrators that keep things running, PASMAG owes it all to the people who dedicated their time to making this magazine special.

Even though some of these guys have long departed from our offices, we consider them our family to this day. Here’s to all of our PAS alumni!

I’ve experienced many ‘firsts’ throughout the (many) years as an employee of PASMAG. My first career. My first car show. My first road trip. My first flight. My first relationship. My first time driving manual transmission. The list is endless and continues to grow daily.

I appreciate all the connections and relationships I’ve made, including but not limited to the past and current PAS roster, mentors, and automotive enthusiasts. Each conversation, message, like, follow, and repost encourages me to share your story, while continuing to write my own. Life’s too short, and every opportunity counts!”

Randi Bentia My first vehicle was a ’96 Eagle Talon, and after being bitten by the tuning bug while at PASMAG, the modifications shortly followed. The wildest mod was a lambo door kit. One summer day, I was with my toddler son pulling into a parking spot. As I opened and swung my door up to get out of the car with my son, a little kid on his bicycle eagerly approached me and asked with astonishment, “Woah, is this your car? Are you his dad?” in which I simply replied with a yes. He then responded with the most unanticipated but ego-boosting reply: “Man, I wish you were my dad!” For the rest of that day, I had a spring in my step, became a car guy for life, and was unofficially knighted as the best dad ever!”

I spent a few years working in automotive media before PASMAG approached me for a meeting. After meeting the team, I could see what they had here was special, and having read PASMAG for years prior, I knew I was looking at a brand with legacy.

When I finally joined the team, it was crazy to see how deep the roots of the PAS brand went. I attended my first SEMA, built my first real project car, and made some incredible friends in the time I’ve been with PAS. Cheers to 20 years strong!”

It was in the first six months of when PAS was actually a magazine, and I was contacted by the Editor who basically said they had a magazine and asked if I would review products for them.

12 or 13 years later I had reviewed 450 products, and it was awesome, and it kind of changed the direction of my career. I love it, I am humbled to have the opportunity, and it was a lot of fun. I really, really enjoyed it.

Obviously things have changed a lot, especially in the past few years. Cars are coming with more horsepower, better tires, and really good stereos, but PASMAG is still important in letting enthusiasts know what’s available.”

Dave MacKinnon I had the pleasure of working at PASMAG for five years - from 2002-2007. I did a bit of everything from writing articles, sales, working events, and everything in between. They were some of the best years of my life. I was always meeting new people, travelling, and having a great time. As much as it was a grind, I loved the people I worked with, and will always remember the unique opportunity PASMAG presented me. It was truly a situation when work didn’t actually feel like work. I was able to transfer a lot of the experience and skills that I honed there into the next chapter of my professional career. Congratulations on the 20th anniversary. Time flies!”

Working in old buildings is now seen as cool - but PASMAG was ahead of the trend. I loved being able to watch from above and pounce through the ceiling while my colleagues were working late on deadline.”

Mr. Raccoon

Coming up on 20 years ago, I was the Editor-in-Chief of the other Toronto tuner mag, Modified Magazine. Years later, I got an offer to join the PASMAG group and was Editor-In-Chief there from 2007-2011 bringing in more performance, more tech, and providing racing coverage that no one could match.

PASMAG was pure good times, creative freedom, and amazing memories from playing with cars around the world. We all drove sick cars, went to events, and had unforgettable moments every day. Our crew there was in it for the long haul and we were more like family than coworkers. Many of that solid crew is still there and there are days I wish I stayed.

My best memory at PASMAG was all of 2008. We went to Japan for Tokyo Auto Salon, the R35 GT-R launch, drove tuner cars, tested exotics, drifted, built, and tracked my GT-R all thanks to PASMAG. We worked hard and played hard back then and it was one wild ride putting together incredible magazines. A far journey from when I first saw that tiny, little magazine at a show called DarkNights back in 1999.

Here is to another 20 years, PASMAG.”

Dave Pankew

Dave MacKinnon Jeffrey Maguire Edmund Manasan Jimmy Manuel

It was relatively early on in the magazine’s days - maybe 2001 or so. I got a placement straight out of college at the sister publication, Performance Racing News, and then did some work for PASMAG. It turned into my first career job which was awesome. There were lots of good times and memories, including our tour to the NOPI Nationals. I loved writing cover stories as well, including the Scion FR-S challenge where three tuners had to modify the best car and compete in a number of events.”

Paul Rachwal PASMAG, to me, was the place that I was able to hone my skills to become the successful automotive journalist I envisioned myself becoming while I studied in journalism school.

In my final year of college, it was PAS that took in the kid who wrote sarcastic and snarky auto-themed columns in the back of the campus paper, and gave him a chance to write about his all-time favourite thing in the world - modifying cars - as an intern. Over the five years I spent with Performance Auto & Sound, and my journey from intern, to Associate Editor, and eventually Editor of PASMAG, my writing style was shaped by the many talented people in the office, from once mostly outlandish, to something more passionate and educational. I got to tell incredible stories from enthusiasts all over the world, interview my heroes, and make connections with people I never would have met otherwise - all of which I will always be thankful for. PASMAG was where I found my voice.

I’ve always felt like PAS has carved out its own little niche in the industry. The book isn’t held down by just one scene, and I think a lot of people still think that it’s “just an import mag.” If it’s done-up and endlessly cool, then we wanted to know about it, no matter the make, model, or year. I definitely had the most fun putting together the magazines that had a little bit of everything featured. I’d have to say that the mags that stand out to me as most memorable, though, would be the “rule breakers.” Turn a cover and accompanying feature to landscape format to accentuate the widebody on a GT-R? No problem. Reverse and reorder a whole JDM issue so it reads from back to front, just like a Japanese manga? You got it. It was so satisfying to have that feeling of creative freedom that every single person in the office would get behind to make it the best it could be. I just don’t think any other magazine is like that, and I think that’s what makes PASMAG so special in its own way.”

Micky Slinger I would have to describe PASMAG as challenging but meaningful experience, one that holds a special place in my career both professionally and personally. Many great achievements were made, and even greater friendships/relationships forged.

This company never ceases to amazing me in its ability to evolve, adapt, and survive in the marketplace of automotive media. I would have to say PASMAG turns boys into men, and novices into professionals through its core values and commitment to company performance.

PASMAG always strives to be its best, and thus the organization has a longstanding history of excellence well ingrained into the DNA of its people and its business.”

I began photographing cars back in 2000, during the emerging days of drifting in Canada. At the time I had only photographed people/models and some cars. Fast forward five years (after getting my feet wet with other publications), and I was hired as the new Features Editor/Coordinator for PASMAG. Being new to a full-fledged magazine operation, I admit that I was overwhelmed. Unlike any previous job I had, this was one that I will never forget - both the experiences and memories. The staff became like family, especially when traveling every week to a different city and emerging car show or motorsport event.

One of my fondest memories was rolling into State College, PA with a jammed SUV full of PASMAG magazines, swag, and a full team. Upon arriving, we were immediately greeted with chanting and cheering of “PASMAG! PASMAG! PASMAG!” from everyone, and treated to many refreshing drinks.

Throughout the months that I was with the magazine, I was fortunate to have met many celebs and forged relationships with some incredible and talented gear heads across the continent - many of whom I still remain good friends with. PASMAG not only gave me a jump start into what is now my career of nearly 20 years, but also set the benchmark by which all other automotive-lifestyle publications aspire to be. It is because of the dedicated staff and the fans that PASMAG still remains in the fast-fading world of print. Long live P-A-S!”

Giancarlo Pawelec PASMAG is one of the most iconic symbols of my early teenage and adult life. Much like The Source Magazine was to hip hop fans in the 1990s and 2000s, PASMAG quickly became my favourite gateway to the fast cars and boomin’ systems that were such a big part of my world at the time.

Although I never was officially a subscriber, I purchased almost every issue off of the newsstand.

When the opportunity to work for the magazine presented itself through my own cousin, Mike Semira, I jumped at the chance to be a part of the team. Over the course of five years between 2003-2008, I had the pleasure of bonding and working with so many great people that inspired, mentored, and motivated me at an early stage of my career. Although I spent countless hours in the office or on the road working an event, the experience is one that I will never regret and will cherish forever. I consider many of the core members lifelong friends, and I am honored to be a part of the PASMAG family tree.”
