Giddyup, pardner! Our February issue kicks off with our first Customer Rides Roundup, a collection of some of the coolest vehicles ever to grace the inside of a lube bay. And be sure to check out the Best of Customer Rides, a collection of some of our favorite Customer Rides pics from past issues of NOLN.

As this is the issue where we're letting lube operators share their stories, we thought we'd include some of our favorite "fast lube horror stories," tales of weird, wacky and downright scary things that have happened to operators just like you.

Our final cover story is a look at the AOCA Managers Training Course, a program that aims to make the industry great one shop at a time — and that's not just for managers anymore!

Elsewhere in the February issue, we take a sneak peak at the International Fast Lube Expo coming to Las Vegas this April. We also hear from a veteran lube operator on why this is the perfect time for the industry to unite. We have a special Internet-exclusive article on how Ford and GM are taking different courses to meet strengthening fuel mileage regulations. And, finally, our series of articles on promoting your lube continues with a look at direct mail.
