I have been reading Hot Rod Magazine off and on since I was eight years old (mostly looking at the pictures ) I am now 62. Every time I think I will just give it up they convince me to renew with a cheap rate ( under one dollar an issue) and a free hat or clock or something else. Sometimes they have old pictures from the early days of hot rodding which I prefer. A wealth of advertiseing is what keeps them going. I always hate it when they go to the book binder like the current issue, I prefer the staples where you can remove the centerfold and hang it on the wall. Still, lots of good reference material included. I like the Indy speedsteer and Attention Whores (the cars) in the current issue. Freiburger is a very likeable guy with a lot of knowledge for a youg guy. I will probably renew, it's still a great value.
