OVERVIEW:
Hot Compacts & Imports (HCI) was another title, published by Buckaroo Communications, that was directed at the tuner
market. This title was differentiated by a focus on more in-depth technical and how-to articles which was one of Buckaroo's strengths.
Content included both import and domestic cars, and it was also a lifestyle oriented title with a more social and cultural aspects. This
title and several others ended in 2008 when Buckaroo closed.
