<b>EDITOR'S LETTER</b><br>
The evolution of man continues.<br>
I'm not looking for anyone to tell me what I need to say or buy to be a real man.
I don't think you are either. Whether you're a CEO or getting your GED, your time's
too valuable for anything less than the best. Whether it's a $6 hamburger or a
$60,000 sports car, you've got choices, and RAMP is here to give you what you've
grown up to want. It's a big world out there for guys who get the joke. But not
for those who need it explained to them.<br>
We love beautiful women, good drinks and great jokes, but&#8212;despite what everyone
else thinks&#8212;that's not all. We're looking for adventure and we still long
for season tickets. We like to look smart (because we are!), but we don't sit
around discussing new ways to knot our ties.<br>
RAMP offers a homegrown view of American pop culture, and we want to hear what
you have to say. Got a cool ride or know a sexy bartender? Let us know and we'll
show everyone.<br>
We took the conventional magazine page and supersized it to give you more relevant
information in a high-gloss package. You'll feel the difference. This is the magazine
I wanted to read, and I hope you feel the same way.<br>
Welcome to the next level!
