I'm sad to see it happen, but I guess it's the way of the world when it comes to magazines these days.

This could effect one of our own..... Rocky Rotella. Among others has written many articles and a tech books relating to Pontiac.
These are Hot rod: https://muckrack.com/rocky-rotella/articles And recently a nice article involving Cliff Ruggles and his Q-jet parts business in Car Craft. .

"The three remaining titles that will continue to publish in print are Motor Trend, Hot Rod, and Four Wheeler, according to a memo from MotorTrend." The other titles will retain online presences.

Motor Trend, Car and Driver, and Road and Track are all still going and I have no idea why. I get all three because the subscriptions are almost free. The three mags are almost identical in editorial content, features and tech. I like Muscle machines though it's virtually the same every month. This is the trend, paper is dying fast. My College is closing their bookstore Jan 1, 2020. This is a school with 30,000 students. They say the books cost too much to stock, inventory and handle. If a professor insists on using a print textbook, the students can buy it on amazon or some other on-line bookseller. The college doesn't want to mess with them. Most of them are available as a download.

I really used to like Hemmings Muscle Machines, but not digging it as of lately. The latest revamp i just don't care for. I'll probably let that one expire on the next go around. I didn't know Muscle Car Review was still out there.

I’m shocked Car Craft didn’t maintain its position. With cheap muscle are popular as it is Car Craft is the magazine that caters to that. Was the one I thought was the most fun.
I have muscle car review but honestly haven’t opened one in a year. When your shtick is factory stuff from the 60s it gets a bit repetitive. I did see that some may continue in a digital only format. Which I’m fine with. All of mine get kindle delivered anyway.

I can't believe MCR. It's my favorite. I probably will not follow it online. It's just not the same. Every time you open a web page you get bombarded by ads.

Hate to lose my favorite MCR and there's a few other good ones there

I wondered how long before this happened. I've been getting renewal cards for an insanely low price(like 39 cents an issue or something). I'm glad I didn't renew. The reason I subscribed in the past was very specifically because it was a print item in my hands. Why the F would I care about an online magazine? There is already more free information online(with less ads) than I would ever have time to read.

I really miss HPP and PHR. Now Car Craft? It's funny, Hot Rod the one subscription that I liked the least (matter of fact, had they not been the least expensive I might not even have bothered subscribing), is the one that lives on.
Call me old fashioned, but I really prefer print when it comes to reading. This sucks.

I cut my muscle car teeth on Car Craft and I subscribe to muscle car review too. I get Hot Rod and I get Hemming Muscle Machines. I guess I better hold on to all the car craft I can find. As Bob Dylan would say The times they are a changin. A lot of things are changing and not for the good either

I get this and Hemmings Classic, they already cut out their euro/sports car edition and combined it with classics. I see a lot of crossover with content between muscle machines and classic, I will not be surprised when they further combine these two publications into one Hemmings magazine. Old Cars was recently sold supposedly for the better. My guess it wont be too long before that is online only as well.
