I used to get stacks of tech rags, news, business mags, etc. But I kept finding myself just flipping thru all of them because I had already read everything in each one of them online. Print was too far behind the web and real time news.

So I'm down to basically:

Business 2.0
Car and Driver

And whatever freebies I get whether I want them or not.

i dont know how you can stand car and driver... i think their articles and opinions are pathetic, as are their test drivers (who consistantly produce the lowest times of all the major mags)... road and track and motor trend are far superior imo... i cant read a car and driver without getting annoyed... the letters and responses are bad too

business 2.0

Re: what magazines do you read
 

I like their comparisons. Even if their 0-60 times are half second slower than other mags, they're evaluating all cars equally so you can see where things are in relative terms. You're right, a lot of fluff there, but you know it's kinda like Sports Illustrated vs. Sporting News...depends on what you had around when you were growing up. C&D is familiar to me.

I watch Motor Trend on TV.

I like Road and Track, but they sometimes forget about "normal" cars.

I'll grab both if I'm getting on a plane, I just dont subscribe.

ive only grabbed c&d when ive been drunk at the airport... by the time we take off i pull it out of my bad and get mad at myself, never fails

i just find them to be extremely pompus and their 10 best lists are a joke, they almost never get it right... i forget what cars the mazda rx-8 beat but they were legit sportscars... a rx-8 is not

Re: what magazines do you read
 

Top Gear really went gah-gah over the RX-8 as well. Jeremy doesn't like many cars, but said that was the best one he'd been in to that point in the season they reviewed it. I think they're both just suckers for the rotary engine and RPMs.

Car and Driver usually blows a load over anything made by Honda or BMW. Feels like they spot them 50 points just for the badge.

These days it is hard for current event magazines to keep as up to date as websites. I used to read Newsweek,etc but now I just get my fix online.

Re: what magazines do you read
 

I read most of my news online, but I do subscribe to:

Wired
Car & Driver
Motor Trend
Road & Track
Sports Car International
Newsweek

Re: what magazines do you read
 

Being an enviro-chick, I read alternative magazines such as:

Common Ground
Shared Vision
The Healing Journal

...and many more save-the-world, live-healthy magazines. I don't read things like Prevention, but I have been known to pick up a copy of The Yoga Journal from time to time!

Re: what magazines do you read
 

Fuck reading! I just looks at them pitchers :blink:

Re: what magazines do you read
 

Might I suggest High Times!

shok had an rx-8 and hated it, the only thing those cars have going for them is a cool interior (if you opt for the 2 tone) and psuedo doors in the back (which is hardly new, extended cab trucks and saturn coupes have had that for years)

2600, wired and ebooks

Re: what magazines do you read
 

Not really my cup of tea either. I can enjoy high end German engineering and Italian pasta rockets, but my real tastes are old school. Big American horse power and rear wheel drive. I've been driving slide ways thru corners since before the kids finally squeezed enough power into their ricers to discover it and call it drifting.

I'm looking forward to the return of the Challenger and the Camaro. Hopefully GM doesn't blow it this time.

Re: what magazines do you read
 

wired and Maxim are my favorite travel mags...

Re: what magazines do you read
 

i like the new camaro, i will buy one if i am not living in a city when it comes out... its not a city car... i need ground clearence...

Ironhorse
BirdTalk
Surfing

2600 and Wired.

We are holding out for the nekkids of Darci Wood.

That woman had me hot and bothered watching her eat tuna at Smith and Wolenski last night.

Re: what magazines do you read
 

i used to read 2600 and listen to the off the hook radio show pretty religiously, they kind of turned me off by getting too political and losing sight of the main theme (the radio show anyway)... id probably still read 2600 if i still went to barnes & noble
