• New issue of Motor Trend is out now. 2024 Car of the Year, plus a small announcement regarding the magazine...(no spoilers here)
  • A few magazines I take are going quarterly.......at the same price.......rethinking all magazines right now.
  • Seems they are only interested in on-line stuff anyway. Hot Rod magazine will likely be next. *NM*
    • Hot Rod is going quarterly as well. *NM*
  • The only magazines I still get, or value, are Vintage Truck and Model Cars Magazine. All the others long ago became outdated months before I received them. *NM*
  • , as much as I hate it, Print media is just a matter of time before it's all gone. But it's 2024 and the age of instant information.
    • Unfortunately you are correct..In a few (3) or less years there will be no printed magazines.. *NM*
      • Heresy....but you are probably right....thing is I now get 4 or 5 magazines still but it used to be double that....reduction is purely because the publishers stopped publishing the printed magazine & I don't read on line mags so they lose out....stupid & crazy. *NM*
      • The auto rags have changed over the years. Less info at the expense of more ads and junk. Online is getting that way too, unfortunately. *NM*
    • Yeah, I remember hearing that sane thing about vinyl (records).... "It will all be digital downloads"....
  • Even finding a newsstand can be a challenge today - but
    • Meanwhile, my latest issues of Modern Rodding (helmed by some of the former staff of Street Rodder) has been gaining pages with recent issues, and went to monthly (formerly bi-monthly) not too long ago. They're at least one exception to the forecast that print mags are gonzo *NM*
    • I finally let me hot rod subscription run out even though it was cheap, I don’t think there is any magazine I buy regularly except a model magazine. There are tons of euro magazines that are huge but mostly ads and expensive. *NM*
      • FWIW, the foreign car and train mags are cheaper if you get them digitally. *NM*
    • Some new magqzines are debuting. Saw a new GM street machine mag form the company that does C/K Trucks.
    • Newsstands are far and few between, nowadays.
      • There was a Newsstand in Charlotte I loved......
        • The Half-Price Books store in west Fort Worth, years ago, used to have a 'store cat'. a previous owner of the cat set it on fire....
          • Who does that kind of thing to an animal....future serial Killer I guess?! Jeez! *NM*
