Car Magazines... How Can I Not?

Collectible Automobile peppers you with those renewal notices...years ago, they were all the same: "it's a good time to renew your subscription to Collectible Automobile". Good time for them, that is, because you've still got nearly a year to go on the current subscription! I've dropped a few magazines lately, even the cheap ones. Rod & Custom bit the dust, the replacement (Street Rodder) is worthless. Thankfully I only got three or four issues after R&C went away. Right now, I get two model car magazines, Rodders' Journal, Collectible Automobile, and Hemmings Classic Car. HCC doesn't measure up to Special Interest Autos (which it replaced); so it might be the next one to get the bullet...

I agree, Hemming's Classic Car doesn't measure up to their old Special Interest Autos magazine. I wish they would have keep that one going. I like that it came out only every other month. It covered everything that now requires buying three monthly magazines. Plus it was set up and indexed in a way that made it easy to reuse the magazine for future reference. They took something great that worked, and tried to give us too much of a good thing. I miss SIA.
