So what magazines (online/print) out there does everybody read? Doesn't have to be auto related.

So what magazines (online/print) out there does everybody read? Doesn't have to be auto related.
I subscribe to .net magazine, mainly for my degree. My Dad has a subscription to Complete Kit Car so I read that a lot too.
Oh and we often buy the Volks World Camper magazine since we have the VW Camper now.

[quote=dydzi;901589]i'm surprised nobody has listed CAR yet. undoubtly the best car mag out there[/quote]
i am a subscriber, and believe me i pay through the nose for it. i used to read motortrend as well, but i got tired of reading about SUVs and minivans. so now i know the european market better than the american market.
I don't really officially subscribe to anything. I used to subscribe to Popular Science, until it decided to report on the improbable. I also used to read Motortrend, until I realized they were American biased journalists. I also used to read Car and Driver because my cousin subscribed to them. Now I don't because I don't have access to it anymore. :D
But now I subscribe to Popular Science because I found it for free online. And the same goes to Road and Track- I found it for free last week, it should be shipping to me soon.
Anything for free is good. :D
Car and driver (get a gift subscription every year for my birthday)
American rifleman (comes with my NRA membership, which I don't pay for)
American handgunner (my mom gets it and lets me have it when she's through)
Used to get Motor Trend until I got tired of the corvette love and Truck Trend until it started sucking, also Peterson's Rifle Shooter until it went all "tactical"
So at the moment, all of mine are free.
I don't subscribe to any magazines, but I really like Car Magazine UK, and Topgear UK Magazine. Evo is ok too. Don't really read anything else.
TGUK, TGAU, Car, Motor, Autosalon, unique cars (essentially a print classifieds)..
I pick these up when i have the spare change.
- Automobile
- Road & Track
- Car and Driver
I visit edmunds.com every once and a while but i don't have a subscription. Used to have a subscription to MotorTrend but gave that up b/c they were pissin me off w/ their absolute infatuation w/ Japanese products

i think Automobile magazine has a balance. not too much of this, and not too much of that.
I subscribe to EVO (brilliant magazine)
I should get round to subscribing to Octane magazine (fantastic publication)
I often buy Performance Bikes (Very good if you're in the right circle)
I used to get TopGear magazine, but a couple of years ago it went all arty and didn't seem to care about driving or the cars themselves.
P.S. I've read CAR magazine a couple of times, but I just couldn't seem to like it.
I only get one magazine on a regular basis its called RACE magazine, great mag that gets into the technical side of making cars go fast. Neil Roshier is a member on this site and puts out a great magazine

Online
- Autoblog
I got a gift subscription to Hemmings Sports & Exotic when that magazine first came out, but I ended up not renewing my subscription since European cars aren't my big thing.
My parents get National Geographic and I always end up being the only one who reads it.

Road & Track's pretty balanced too, plus I like Peter Egan's column, Side Glances.
I like EVO the best as it's the only magazine in its genre I read. I find the others have awful writing and the editors/writers have the minds of teenagers making torque and bhp the defining factors.
Oh, I forgot, I used to subscribe to Popular Mechanics too... until my one year subscription turned out to be 6 months. I never got my 6 other issues, and now I refuse to read it. It would have been a nice read though.

Road & Track is pretty good too. but i find that Car and Driver gets humorous with their writting, which isn't a bad thing! my mom has a whole bunch of Life from 1985 to 1989. and my mom said that when she subscribed for the magazines, they wouldn't leave her alone!

That's happened to me so many times...I swear when you get a job in the magazine subscription industry they train you to screw people. I paid for a one year subscription to European Car and got like 3 issues!

Yeah, seriously. If you don't want my business, that's fine. Just give me my issues.
My cousin used to subscribe to T3 magazine. Huge magazine with nice pictures and electronics, but it was almost 2-3 English pounds (!) per issue. I have no idea why he subscribed. It's so expensive!
