I love to read and I read fast. Barnes and Noble is one of my favorite places for car mags.

Therefore I don't need to subscribe to everything I like to read.

I read on the internet too, but way too much junk to sift through.

Yeah I also pick up the consumer reports big auto issue. I might not be the biiggest subscription wise, but at last count I have over 1000 car magazines dating back to 1997, and I guess I collect them. So I may not be number one, but I am in your league. Also I can talk about cars and know some info on a particular one 99% of the time, from AC to Zondra. Lastly as graet as the internet is, some of the photos in these magazines can not be topped, just breathtaking, like cars driving through the alps as a example.

motortrend because i like reading up on the gossip, they test a nice variety of cars and do comparos of cars in a lot of segments.

Excellence because they have amazing pictures, lots of tech, and great variety of porsche vehicles they cover. Lots of ads make this a great porsche parts and service resource! they also keep me up to date on the alms and gt2 standings


I enjoy reading both magazines cover to cover when i get them.

i might subscribe to super street or turbo too . . .

I am into the inner workings of a vehicle and subscribe to this below.




The Motor Trends, Car & Drivers & Road & Tracks I can do without since I can get off my behind, drive most of the cars being reviewed & come to my own conclusions about them ..
