Grassroots Motorsports, mustang monthly, mustang times, car and driver, automobile, hot rod, car craft, roundel, muscle mustangs, road and track, sports car (but that comes with membership) I think I let autoweek lapse, Roadkill quit,  and I think I have left one magazine out.  

It's to the point where I'm mad I don't have a car magazine in the mail.

Who on the forum dies with the most subscriptions?

I read them for free at the Library. Rest of the time, by reading Jalopnik/TruthaboutCars/Autoblog, I am on top of it . Only thing I miss is the comparison and roadtrip stuff, which I read at the library.

 

 

Used to have motor trend, super street, road and track, and automobile. Canceled them all about 9 years ago, along witih no cable, no tv.

I subscribe to GRM and was going to keep picking up Roadkill untill I found out the first issue I picked up was the last one.

Years ago, probably '04, my subscription issue of GRM and C&D arrived on the same day.  It was then that I realized I had read 100% of GRM before I even opened C&D.  I did not renew the C&D and I had been a subscriber for more than 10 years.

At one point, I was getting like 10 magazines. GRM, C&D, R&T, MM&FF, Autoweek, PC Mag, Newsweek, Computer Gaming Monthly, Racer, Popular Mechanics, and a few others I'm forgetting. Nowadays it's just GRM and C&D. I get C&D because I feel like I should get at least one monthly major car rag, and I've had a steady subscription since 1986.

GRM, CM, Fine Woodworking, Saveur, Milk Street, Roundel, Cycle World, Sports Car.

I've cut back some, especially on the car mags, and cut out the cycling stuff entirely since all the mountain bike stuff is too extreme for me, and Bicycling started trying to do clickbait for their site in the print mag. I do not want to be reading a magazine in bed and have it tell me to go to my computer for the rest of the story...

I have parred it down to GRM, CM, R&T, Hot Rod and Super Street (yes I am a reformed Ricer) I think at my worst/best I had 10 or 12 but not sure.  At one time was subscribed to Speedway, Euro Tuner, European car, Sport Compact car, GRM, R&T, Hot Rod, Super Street, couple of gun mags (don't even remember which) and Cycle world.

GRM, Classic Motorsports,Hot Rod, Automobile, Road & Track, Motor Trend, Classic & Sports Car, Octane, EVO, Thoroughbred and Classic Cars, Retro Cars, Hemmings Classic Car.  I used to get two or three more, but I decided to cut back......a little......just enough to keep SWMBO from complaining.

I just subscribe to the two here. None of the other ones really suit me anymore. I don't like paid advertising disguised as tech articles.

I get one magazine and is not even grm. I get the scca sportscar mag and it almost goes straight to the trash. I got fed up with 90% of magazines being regurgitated marketing and press releases. I like really techy articles or good adventure stories and most magazines have become too dumbed down. Most mags that have tech articles always seem to make the content way too noob friendly and never get into advanced stuff.

I used to get hot rod magazine. That had some really good tech articles and wasn't too overtly commercialised.

I subscribe to GRM and have had 2 consecutive 10-year subs plus a bunch of single years.  I get SportsCar as part of my SCCA membership.

DW gets a knitting magazine.

That's it.

The only one I willingly subscribe to is Hot Rod Magazine. I get sent SportsCar for being an SCCA member (usually read Randy Pobst's column and trash it), Roundel for being a BMWCCA ( despite never owning a BMW, might not ever, usually trash this one after a quick skim) and Game Informer for having a Gamestop Power Up card (read through it once and then trash it). I used to subscribe to Popular Hot Rodding, and I loved that one, but then it got canceled when The Enthusiast Network bought it up.

GRM, Popular Mechanics, and Consumer Reports (don't judge me)

I ditched Wired years ago when they started moving away from the techie stuff. Popular Mechanics is right on the edge of going away for the same reason. I also canceled SuperStreet and D-Sport because Google News was making it harder and harder to find and read them in the app.

I'm probably going to go get the paper sub to D-Sport though. They stopped with the booth babe and "super street cred yo" nonsense and were actually doing technical stuff. D-Sport was my saviour in Afghanistan since the PX stocked it. My wife mailed me GRM.

I subscribe to GRM.  My bigger issue is how many youtube channels I subscribe to/watch.

Only GRM. 

When I still lived in Tulsa and had a great local bookstore, I'd drop in about once a week and look through modeling, music, car, etc, magazines and buy whatever caught my fancy. 

Really like a lot of the Euro car mags, but they were typically $11 per issue.
