    Welp,my doctor died??

    in The Off-Topic Lounge

    Posted

    So I called up for a follow up appt.for my blood work.Im on high blood pressure meds.Thats when they said he passed away.Huh?The poor guy was only in his early 60s..Of course they won’t confirm or deny that he died of the virus,but it had to be that.I guess he simply saw the wrong patient,at the wrong time..So now I gotta find a new doctor,and it is not as easy as I thought it would be.He just moved offices too.Well RIP doc.?☹️

    What happened to all the great magazines?

    Oh yea,Model car magazine.Hmmmmm..I think the last time I saw that on the stand was about a year ago,hint hint.But there still is SAE.Super Chevy and Hi Po Chevy are still out there,but I’m a Mopar fan more than a Chevy fan.Hot Rod puts me to sleep.Canadian Hot Rod is A pretty good mag.Four wheeler and Four Wheel and Offroad are still on the stand.Bone Stock is fairly new magazine..Mostly stock muscle cars.Hemmings Muscle car is a great rag.Not the regular Hemmings ,which is very entertaining ,especially if your searching for those hard to find parts.But this is a magazine.Chrysler Power,Mopar Muscle,and Mopar Collectors guide are three more really good mags.Car Craft is ok,but as I said I really miss Muscle Car Review.Of all the muscle car mags that were out there,they get rid of that publication.I think Motorcyclist is history,but there are so many European motorcycle magazines,plus Cycle World,it doesn’t really matter.Classic Dirtbike is also a great mag,if your into older dirt bikes.And ADV MOTO is a great magazine too.Lots of adventure (dual purpose) bikes.Dirt Bike is still worth reading.RPM is probably the best drag racing magazine,out there,but it’s hard to find.And Drag Racer is history...Idk I guess it depends whatever your into,or not into.And yea it’s the electronic,on line age,but it’s still fun to find your favorite magazine on the stand.But for now,like I said,you can’t even get into BnNoble.Arrrrrgggg.Guess we have to wait till post Covid.???

    I miss Automobile..I had a digital subscription w/ Amazon for it, they are filling it with Motor Trend now.  Same thing happened w/ Muscle Car Review, the subscription got replaced w/ Hot Rod.    I still subscribe digitally to Car and Driver and Road & Track, only car magazine I still get in print is Collectible Automobile..  I subscribed to C/D and R&T in print from 1977 through 2014 when I switched to digital for my tablet. 

    Automobile and Muscle Car Review were part of a group of 19 car magazines that got shut down in January by TEN publishing (there is a thread here somewhere from back in Dec that discussed it).

    Ok first,I can’t even get into my local Barnes and Noble to buy magazines.But that’s not the issue here.Where have all the great magazines gone.1)Popular Hot Rodding,2)Muscle Car Review,3)Offroad,4)and Sport Utility,5)Motor-cross Action,and a bunch more.They simply stop printing them.You can’t even subscribe to them.Anybody else know of an other of their favorite magazines that simply disappeared?

    Never liked the Aztek.  Like that Smokey Bandit Aztek, except for the taillights.

    Very nice car, I've been issued a few in my career, but its not that fast. My LT1 Caprices and Chargers were way faster. It just won the award for being most sinister looking...very lucky to get away with no tickets. I wouldn't worry about the mail, you have to be issued the big tickets in person and sign the bond, so I think you lucked out...

    Well that makes me feel better.I swear I thought I was going to jail.Again it was either the car,my clean license or the virus,but whatever it was,I lucked out big time.I don’t even think the guy in the Mercedes was even a cop.And like I said,if he was,he was retired.Screw him,and his 15 tickets.Although,someone called the county police,cause they pulled me over as soon as I got off the highway.But anyone can call 911.Bla bla bla.Whatever
