Car and Driver. I've been a subscriber since 2000.

They're changing right now with new younger writers, unfortunately, but the spirit of the magazine is staying mostly the same. Some renowned authors recently retired (Brock Yates, Pat Bedard), some have moved on (Csaba Csere, Larry Webster), or passed away (David E. Davis Jr), but a good amount of the staff is still good.

I would subscribe just to read John Phillips' monthly column.

Depends on the content you want.

Do you want new to the market stuff with new car reviews and comparisons? Do you want niche stuff like Hondas, import, trucks?

I personally like "Project Car" I find it very useful. A lot of their builds are on a budget so i can relate to it greatly

I loved Super Street years ago, but I stopped reading when the majority of the staff changed (Jonny Wong is the only one left, I think... I miss Nads!) Still, it's a good rag... when I make a magazine, I kinda want to make it look like Super Street.

I read Car and Driver now. I got a free subscription when I signed up for my mail order bride site. I like it. It's gotten a bit less dry than it used to be, thanks to a nearly full staff change... sadly, as with Super Street, I miss the guys I started reading!

I used to be an avid magazine reader (and horader). I have car mags dating back to the mid 90s in the attic at my parents house.

I've gotten out of buying mags over the last year or so, just because there's so many I'd read, it started to get expensive every month paying up to $50 a month for several mags.

Popular ones I've read and enjoyed over the years;

Automobile Magazine
Motor Trend
Car & Driver
Road & Track
Top Gear UK
What Car? (UK mag)
Sport Compact Car
Modified Mag
Street Trucks
Truckin
Mini truckin...including getting my '89 B2200 in October 2008 issue.

All the good ones have gone away.

Sport Compact Car was great. It had indepth articles about suspension and engine theory along with DIY and Dyno numbers. New products got tested and if it did not work they wound not try to cover it.

SuperStreet started strong with alot of small DIYs, Cars,event coverage and short indepth coverage. Through the years they have moved to being more vulgar in there writing, alot less DIYs and they dont really focus on the "budget" cars.

MAXPower UK was awesome. There tag line was "The definitive guide to arsing about in cars". Great UK event coverage, HOT chicks showing ass and tits is always a good thing. They focused on the entire speed, sound, and style of the car. They featured VIP and Drag cars at the same time, OMG. They answered more than just general automotive questions. It was fun to read and the humor was dry or wet depending on the writer but always enjoyable.

Still holding on to most of the old mag's, still like to re-read them and still learning from them.

Some of the vulgarity is hilarious, though!

Project Car Magazine is a Super Street spinoff. That's where all the DIYs and budget cars went.

qft.


I made a thread like this a year and a half ago or so and based on responses I got, I subscribed to Grassroots Motorsports. After a year, I canceled my subscription. Nothing against that magazine, but it's really geared more for track-heads. As much as I'd like to pretend that I'm in that scene, it wasn't for me.

Since then, I've found Racecar Engineering and Race Tech magazines. I'm hooked. They're both massively expensive as far as magazines go, but their tech articles are freaking money. As far as learning goes, they completely demolish the shells of automotive mags found on most magazine racks. Just don't expect to see any kind of usable information in them. They're well worth a look imo.
