Hey, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

So I recently received a copy of GRM in the mail, along with a bill for $20.00. I found this strange because I haven't ordered the magazine yet, although I did plan to order a 2 year subscription.

Anyways, I am an SCCA member, do they subscribe you to the magazine automatically or something? Or is this one of those "you choose to pay for it or you send it back" kind of things? Thanks, just a little confused here.

We have an uncanny ability to know when you might be thinking of subscribing. It is part of our experimental mind control program.

Seriously, we do do promotional mailings occassionally, but we send an invite to subscribe, not a bill. Any chance you could fax or mail me that bill, as I want to make sure no mistakes were made. Fax number 386 239 0723.

SCCA members do not automatically get a subscription. Thanks

Was it the new tire issue?! you can send it my way if so

I subscribed/renewed a month ago in hopes of getting the latest issue with tire reviews from AH but thus far haven't seen it hit my mailbox yet, soon hopefully!

It's a sign that you need to subscribe. Without a subscription you might become addicted to Dancing with the Stars...I heard they are having Andy Dick on this year.

Choose your path wisely.

I actually have a random question related to subscribing.

I only ever have subscribied to one magazine.

3 years ago or so my wife set me up with GRM. I loved it, when my 1 year came to an end I hit the 10 year button.

ever since that day I now get: golf digest, Sports illustrated, family (something or other). as well as at least three others.

Any idea wtf that is about?

No idea–we don't sell or give our list to anybody else.

Plus, don't you think we'd have better taste than that?

It's more likely that those magazines bought your information from somewhere completely random. Maybe you subscribed to the ice cream flavor of the month club at your local ice, uh, creamery, and Sports Illustrated knows that most of their readers love ice cream, so they market to purchased ice cream lists. Sounds weird, but it happens all the time.

Do you guys buy lists from anywhere other than the local mental hospitals?

I think they must have a google maps scanner that returns the address of any house with more than 4 cars parked outside. Also returns the address of any house with a bi-turbo, regardless of total number.
