Which auto magazine to subscribe to

Post by stephen44 »

Don't think this has been asked before ... but which motor magazine do people subscribe too ? - and which has most relevance to our bumps and FE engines ?

i'm thinking of subscribing to car craft ?

- Stephen
thanks

Have you checked out http://www.truebluetrucks.com ?

Problem I have with most car mags is that many of the articles do little more than show you the latest wizbang hunk of billet you can bolt-on if you have endless cash and a $20,000+ shop.

Hot Rod still does a pretty good job and has had some great FE content over the past year. I get that, Rod and Custom and Hemmings Classic Car (for stocker stuff) regularly. Hot Rod Delux (newstand only) has good articles too, but sometimes has cross printed articles with Hot Rod. That's another problem too, many of these magazines are owned by the same people and the same articles end up in multiple mags. What a waste.

I subscribe to Hot Rod, 4 Wheel and Off Road, and True Blue Trucks. You will by far get the most "bump" content from True Blue. I've tried them all and I feel like I get the most info and entertainment for my $$ from these choices. :2cents:

I read through all of them. I happen to work in a place where I can just pick them off the stand, and read them as my shift goes on. But, for the most part, the articles seem mostly the same. The trucks seem to be pretty much the same, but that's just my two cents.
