I have a friend who is a writer for them, and he didnt get notice before it was announced.

Crap, I'm a subscriber to six of them.

There are going to be a bunch of pissed-off inmates. Lowrider was one of the few magazines you could get in to the system that you could jerk off too.

That sucks to hear. Jeff Bauer did a review on one of my websites back in the day and featured it in MMFF back in the day.

Terrible to see periodicals going by the way of the dinosaur. Just like Amazon is putting brick & mortar stores out of business.

I guess it's hard to compete with instant gratification and convenience. You make a couple of mouse clicks and order something and it's on your doorstep in 2 days.

So, what happens to the rest of our issues? I get JP and 4W&OR.

That said, this isn’t exactly surprising.

Damn. Guess its a good thing i didn't take them up on their latest offer to renew! That really does suck. Going the way of blockbuster.

[cool cat]

That sucks but, I haven't picked up, bought or subscribed to a magazine in years.

[Broncojohnny]

I'll buy an issue when I am getting on a plane. I hate reading magazines or books on a computer screen, it fucking sucks.

[scootro]

there goes my youth! that sucks

[white trash wagon]

Damn, that sucks!

I'm sorry but I busted out laughing.

Out with the old, in with the new. Now if we can just have this happen to most of the political rags, we'll be doing great. Hopefully rolling stone dies soon.

Chevy High Performance sub for the past several years.... I wondered why I have not seen a renewal notification yet.

Car Hobby is evaporating before our eyes... old lifelong car peeps fading away with very little interest from the later generations to continue.

Sucks, but I haven't bought a magazine in years. In some respects, I feel like I've denied my son. I used to live in magazines as a kid. Oddly enough, I hate reading them on screen.

[svauto-erotic855]

The magazine business ebbs and flows. I was the first subscriber to Hi-Tech performance in 95 or 96 that later transitioned to GM high-tech performance and then simply vanished. It along with the old Turbo magazine were my favorites along with Car Craft when Freiburg took over. MM&FF was a power house in its day; I remember issues with 250 + high gloss pages (albeit 120 pages of ads) of pure Ford dna; you could have almost made steroids by wringing the juice out of the magazine.
