i am going to ask the wife for a couple car magazine subscriptions for christmas.

i'm less about ads and more about short articles.

i currently don't get any.

i'd ask for maxim but i doubt that will get passed my personal moderator.

i'm thinking "car and driver" and "hot rod"

thank you in advance :beer:

Car craft is good for actual lower budget (mostly) builds, add ons etc.. Not that you need that.

I like Car and Driver, my dad got it for years and years, prolly where I picked it up as a favorite. They do good tests and real world driving. My subscription is out right now, did not renew, just put mom in a nursing home and sold her house so maybe in the new year when things are not so hectic I will renew.

Hot Rod & Car Craft are what I get. Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords is usually pretty cool. They had the silver car in it a few years back!

After 20+ years subscribing to AutoWeek I gave up. In the last few years too many articles that had nothing to do with Autos.

I recommend Homo and garden and Hemings. You want me to send my the old ones? In the hurricane I lost over 6000 of them and do not keep them anymore

Pass on Car and Driver... Had that one for years, they changed it up a few years back and didn't like their personal opinions creeping more and more heavily into the test drives and comparisons...
