Growing up I had subscriptions to about 5-7 car mags and 2 motorcycle mags as well.. there was always something showing up in the mail every few days. this all started when I was 15 years old. slowly (not by my choice) the magazines flow has dwindled down to only 3 subscriptions a month. as we know, many of the magazines collapsed or were merged in with their parent mags. sad. I kept every single issue starting back in the late 90's and stored them all in 3 FULL sized plastic tucker container bins. Each one probably weighed about 60 pounds. just about 2 years ago I began re-reading them. I had kept them because my tech knowledge at the time was just beginning so I knew reading them later in life would be valuable. Back then I would just cut out the cool car photos and tape them on every wall of my room and every wall of each room I had during college. Man, those days were good! Now re-reading them, I tear out the pertinent tech articles and the remaining cool car photos and file them away accordingly, then put the remainder of the mag in the recycle.

As cool as it is to have the youtube shows and the websites like chevy-hardcore.com... they will never satisfy me the same way as a color printed magazine had done. I know the world is changing and internet car mags are the future, but that doesn't mean I have to keep up with that pace.
