Tough, tough times for magazines these days.
I was a little miffed when I last renewed HPP and MCR and the renewal did not go through and I never saw my magazines.
Still, I love MCR. HPP I liked.
When is the last time you saw a kid pouring over car mags or comic books?
Different times.
I am in my mid 40s.
I grew up listening to records, just like my parents and grandparents. Even my great grands if you count 78s.
We all had to use maps.
We all needed to use payphone and grew up with phones on cords.
We all had to use encyclopedias. Another business that must be about dead.
We all read comics when we were kids.
We all poured over magazines, and go fast parts ads.
Something happened,
people over 40 had a ton in common with the parents, grands, great grands, etc.
People under 35 or 30 or so and way less in common with the past generations.

I am driving in the rain, at night, running errands, with the kids who are eating and having ice cream in the back, after going to the drag strip, burning rubber, and blowing donuts. Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"
