I'll buy an Octane magazine every so often too, along with Grassroots Motorsports and Classic Motorsports.

I'm somewhat of a magazine collector (or hoarder), and have most Hot Rods going back to 1950, most Popular Science magazines from 1945 to 1970, Cycle World from 1976 until they stopped publishing in paper format at the end of last year, and many others including decades' worth of Smoke Signals and High Performance Pontiac. I'll often pull one out at random and re-read it.

One of my favorite pastimes has always been going to the book store on a Saturday morning to peruse the car and bike magazines, but as we all know the industry has been decimated in recent years so it's not as much fun as it used to be.

If you're interested in vintage hot rods and customs you may remember Pat Ganahl as a long time editor for Hot Rod, Rod and Custom, Street Rodder, and as a contributor to Rodder's Journal. He was always one of the top writers in the car magazine industry. He's mostly retired now, but is still putting out a free online newsletter every few weeks. I'd recommend signing up on his mailing list. https://patganahl.com

Just checked out Motorcycle Classics magazine, thanks never heard of it.
