What magazines do you guys read? Mainly ones that pertain to our RA's or the alike.

 

Road & Track, Automobile, Motor Trend, Modified (one of the few non-rice mags)

 

I subscribe to all of his^ except for modified, and I also subscribe to Sport Compact Car, though I do buy modified occasionaly

 

I buy Sport Compact Car occassionally, thinking of subscribing. That's pretty much the only one I like the most.

 

sport compact car and import tuner..

 

I will admit I have modified the audio portion of my car, but when there is a section dedicated to who's stuffed the most 15" subs in a car, you may want to raise an eyebrow. I have no tollerance for ALL show NO go. Go buy a Benz. DIY bling is overrated.

Yo yo yo, check out doze phat twentees bizatch. All chromes everything. I have 18 JL W7's pullin power from my 3000 amp alternator. I had to add a turbo to power my sound system. 0-60 in 4.3*.

If your into amateur racing or autocross, Grassroots Motorsports is a great Mag.

 

What I hate about those imports magazine (Sport compact, Super Street etc..) is that when I read them I feel like Im listening to horny 12 years old kids. Its packed with easy and not-funny-at-all jokes.

50% of the mag is dedicated to publicity,

25% dedicated to easy jokes and phrases with no contents at all (75% of these jokes contains funny words like sex, *****, ****, pee etc...). They also talk alot about their co-workers who seems to be all ugly and they all make fun about each others uglyness. Oh oh this is soooo funny....NOT.

The last 25%, talks about cars. 50% of these cars are project cars that companies are building for fun and that youll never be able to do on your car cause its like twice the price of the car just in mods. 25% are cars that were modified by billionaires. Then, if youre lucky, you might see a car that a normal person might actually be able to buy and then have enough money to modify it... just cross your fingers its not another honda or youre gonna have to wait for next month!

oh well...

 

Car & Driver (probably won't renew) and Modified (free subscription when I bought my intake). I'll probably keep Modified, as it's not as full of crap as some of the other import mags.

 

EXACTLY!!! Im sick of looking at those cars that have 50 grand dropped into a 10 grand car, i wish they would put people like us (broke **** people) and let them pick the best one in regards to mods. Not everybody has the money to get an entire fiberglass body, or a completely reworked and blueprinted engine. AAAAHHHHH that pisses me off

 

this is true, this is also the main reason i stopped buying them. i might occasionally browse through them at the local liqour store for a few mintures before mama san yells at me to buy or get out. i hate reading the articles about some of the cars becuase you read the list of mods and say to yourself, what average hard working person can afford this stuff. they gotta start keepin thier magazines real, thier cars are just way tooooooooooooooo blinged for any normal person to own

 

I subscribe to HCI. I find that they have a no nonsense approach and some really helpful articles on how to actually do things. and some great mods evaluations.

 

I used to buy Sport Compact Car, but stopped when they switched to the new ad-full boy racer format. The only one that I'm getting now is Motor Trend.

I remove the double-sided ad pages when I stash them away... Does anyone else do this?

 

yeah...sport compact car, and yes..import tuner...i shouldn't for all the reasons that were listed above about the "rice" magazines...but what can I say, I kinda like it! whatever...just reading isn't hurting anything...like i have the money to do what they do in those mags anyway...completely stock still...almost year year of owning the car!!!!

 

import tuner, ski, and skiing are my subscriptions.

I read import tuner every week for 20 minutes while my girl tans (she lost her liscense).
very entertaining if you got car on the brain
