Warning!:  This idea could easily get me in trouble with the editors.  

Right now the average issue of Four Wheeler is roughly 115 pages for $5.99 per issue newstand price.  (A lot cheaper if you subscribe.)

What do you think about an issue that is roughly 250 pages in size for $9.95?

Oh and a 90 minute DVD featuring the main stories.

(I can imagine the looks the editors are giving me already! )

The larger size would allow for more indepth stories like Top Truck Challenge, trail rides like 'Con Artist on the Rubicon, plus allow features like vehicle comparisons.

What do you think of the idea?  

More pages would mean just more ads. I would like to see less ads and more articles in current one.  

That would be AWESOME! But we would have to pay for it somehow, and news stand sales really don't pay the bills, advertising does.

This brings us to what Sno said, without the support of our great advertisers we would have no magazine at all.

The best way to get more pages in your Four Wheeler is to buy products from our advertisers and makes sure you told them you saw their ad in FW. They see their ad is working and increase their ad size, thus giving us more pages for the great stories you enjoy! Make sense?  

I have already pitched this idea of a thicker magazine, better paper, more pages and a $10 newsstand price and have been shot down because the powers that be don't think there is a market for it. I disagree and one day I'll prove them wrong.

Until then, keep supporting FW and its advertisers and we'll keep putting together the best magazine we can with the resources we have.
