I'm just curious. What car magazines do you read? Newsstand or subscription?

I've subscibed to Car Craft and Hot Rod since 1988 but I'll buy an issue of Kit car once in a while (looking for GT40 kits) and I'll get an issue of Motor Trend maybe once a year if there's something interesting on the cover.

Your turn! I don't wanna hear about your subscription to Big Butts, just car mags OK?:D

Street Rodder
Scale Auto Entusiast (a bit beyond a "car" rag)

I occassionally pick up Custom Rodder lately and a car audio rag every so often.

I give the Mustang rags to my dad and toss the rest. I used to keep them in case I ever needed something from them. But, not knowing which issue to look in, I never went back to them. I just google it now. I threw them all out when I moved.

I keep all my old mags. The internet has made keeping them for info obsolete, but as a kid, nothing beat digging through my older brothers issues of Hot Rod, and some others I can't remember.

The old ads/classifieds are fun to look at too. New 180 Hp Corvettes, $999 superchargers, and low milage Fastback Mustangs for $5000.

No one else reads Car Craft? Wow! So no one else has seen the '69 Cougar in the May 06 issue (with Marauder center caps) or that mean looking '71 Maverick? That Maverick has me seriously considering selling the Marauder!

Was a Twenty year subscriber to Car & Driver, but got to the point that they are too liberal and ricer and import-favoring to me. Hung up the subscription this year.:mad:

Will glance at a MM &FF in the airport newstand.

Motor Trend
Road & Track
Hot Rod
Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords

I prefer Motor Trend over all, they seem to be more for the everyday cars rather then the top end ones that Road&Track mostly shows
