    Hate to hear it but I bet more things will happen that way soon.

    The downward spiral continues.  I sure hope this thing bottoms out pretty soon.

    I haven't bought that mag for years since they should be called Chevy Rod anyway.

    damn...

    i hope hot rod mag sticks around...

    i love that mag, nothing else comes close to the varied coverage of cool vehicular stuff that it has.
    and it's got by far the best design and photography

     :iagree: And the other Mopar mags.  I like Car Craft too.

    So many magazines have gone under, maybe from the internet? 

    I still like the magazines.  Don't have a computer in my bathroom......yet....  :roflsmiley:  :smilielol:

    THey'd sell more if they had more hotties on the cover and innards like DUB or IMPORT RACER.

    Sex sells; sorry to say.

    I prefer SUPER ROD anyway to HOT ROD.  Much more of a pro-touring, high-tech slant to old cars.

    Hot Rod was great, but too generic. Today consumers want what they have....aka mopar etc

    I just got mail from them offering me two free years and a clock. I had it for a year once, but only did it to get a free hat  :lol: They like to cool put Mopars on the cover and then you buy it and it has one page with the cover car and 18 articles on how to build a small block Chevy. You'd have to be severly retarded at this point to not know how to do that after 50+ years of monthly "How to build your SB Chevy" articles.  :icon16:

    Maybe they thought the free decal they included that has a 1st Gen Camaro on it would seal the deal.  :eek4:
