You are not 64....but 24 going on 25!!!!!

Today, while sorting through my various back issues of car mags, I came across the Nov/Dec 1990 issue of GRM. It said that that particular issue was a 6th anniversary issue. Therefore, GRM is about to hit 25 years young.

BTW, if you think the current mag is great, here are a few things to consider:

Page count in N/D 1990 was 62....YES, "only" 62 pages.

The most recent issue I own (Nov. 2008) has 202 pages, a 300+% increase.

The newstand price in 1990? Would you believe...$3.98? Today's newstand price? ONLY $4.98 or an increase of 25% in nearly 19 years. Considering how much better the mag is now....it's truely a collossal bargain.

Cars tested 19 years ago included a 240Z comparo with a 240SX....nearly a draw, and the Suzuki Swift GT.

And Mr. Suddard, too bad that issue has a drawing of you and not a picture for comparo....I'm guessing you've increased a few pounds in 19 years too.

To all involved with the mag currently, and over the years, thanks for an OUTSTANDING magazine.

We are indeed entering our 25th year. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

did you factor in inflation of the dollar?

And GRM has some of the best content I have come across...

A dollar increase is well below inflation. $4 in 1990 is probably around $6 now.

Go GRM!

Now:

I never realized that the magazine had evolved out of a scene from a high school play.

Oooh, that's cold. But funny.

Wow, an AutoX related puppet show, I mean who knew?

I wonder if they can do a good routine of insult jokes, like those two old guys in the balcony on The Muppet Show!

That's awesome!

Who's the blond guy with Marjorie's little sister?

Its Pastor Dave!

I want some of those t-shirts from the first photograph. Ya'll should consider GRM retro.
