The Masticator was started by two Minneapolis-area visionaries as a zine in the summer of 2004. Issue two was never realized, and half of its founding force moved to Brooklyn. Three years later, the electronic version of The Masticator has far eclipsed its single print-bound predecessor. Today, The Masticator posts art reviews, random urban snapshots, gentle political mockery, and other short articles on subjects like cars, fashion, and books.

Chrysler's Future Past
Listen to this car start up -- it sounds like an airplane. Or maybe it sounds exactly the way a car that looks this way should. It was created in 1955 for Chrysler by the Italian coachbuilder Ghia and designed by Giovanni Savonuzzi. It was designed for a gas turbine engine, but it never had one until Scott Grundfor, who bought it for $125,000 about eight years ago, put one in it.
