Super Chevy and Chevy High Performance Magazine

uhhh ok. The print magazine has been on a collision course with extinction for some time. Every magazine is 2/3 - 3/4 ads anyway. It's the only way they stayed afloat this long. If they can play the "save the planet" card then they'll use that as a reason besides "our business model is old and failing"

Not to hijack the thread but looks like we're having posting, PM, "Liking" issues

I am pretty aggravated with this myself. I enjoy getting the magazines.

i keep them at my bedside and read an article or two to clear my head before going to sleep. its not the same reading it on a screen, and i get aggravated after a while reading on my pc/laptop/phone. there are also so many other distractions on the computer/phone.

Another thing with a magazine is they are easier to have handy in the garage instead of a electronic device.

yep... and when i get done reading them, i normally pass a stack on to some of my friends -- who really enjoy them also.

I will miss them. Especially the "Barn Find" stories by Jerry Heasley in Musclecar Review. I'd rather hold a magazine in my hand, than a device. As mentioned by someone else, at least Hemmings is still in the print business.

Maybe I'll finally stop getting renewal offers from car-craft. I was a loyal subscriber for about 20 years but I finally let it lapse this year since every month was basically the same issue, nothing but turbo LS builds and swaps and reviews of the latest and greatest high dollar parts for your LS. No thank you. I know a lot of guys think that LS's are the greatest invention since the wheel and that's fine but I personally have absolutely ZERO interest in them. I miss the old days when they ran articles on going to the u pull it cutting out a 455 with a sawzall dropping it in some thing cool and flogging it. Rant over.

I feel the exact same way.

Dang, I'm old and hate change, but haven't missed the print magazines since my last sub ended in 2006. Too many late models and "budget" hahaha builds that were in no way "budget" for my interest

As an example of being old and hating change, I do not get how people use a cell phone as a computer....way too tiny of a screen for me. Heck, I watch youtube vids on my TV

My bathroom library will have to go through some major revisions now....lol

30 years ago it was a Saturday tradition of mine to go to the bookstore and buy stacks of magazines to read over the month. Plenty of car titles then. The grocery store had one aisle of just magazines and paperbacks. But times change and most of the magazines are gone or going. Well I guess Readers Digest will have to return to my “library” from now on....sigh

All those magazines missed an entire generation of GBody's too .....So screw um!!!

The 406 in my 81 was built using the same parts and specs as a project motor done by CHP back in the late 90s or early 2000s.
