I subscribe to 5 mags, Hot Rod, Hemmings Classic Car, Hemmings Muscle Machines, POCI Smoke Signals, and GTOAA The Legend.

I also got several issues of Motor Trend when my subscription to Muscle Car Review died.

My dilemma, I fall behind in reading and before I know it, I am as many as 2 years behind in my reading.

Smart thing might be to quit subscribing. But I still like to get hard copies of stuff, so I keep re-upping. And I can't bring myself to toss them until I've read them.

In the past month, I began binge reading to try to catch up. I am reading cover to cover, that is part of the problem, don't like to just skim thru a mag, I want to read it all.

I was able to read 24 issues of Hot Rod, including the latest issue which was received before I caught up. I read the handful of the Motor Trend issues from summer of 2020 (learned some interesting things about newer cars which might help with next new car purchase if and when my wife decides she needs one). And now I'm catching up with the last dozen or so issues of MCR before it folded. Got 2 more to finish.

Meanwhile, 2 more issues of Smokes and another Legend have shown up and been thrown on the pile while I've been bingeing. The Legend is usually a quick read but Smokes takes a lot longer to consume. And Classic Car and Muscle Machines are piled up, waiting their turn. I haven't been subscribing to them as long and have read a few as I got them but still a lot of issues still unread.

It just seems like a losing battle. I find good stuff in all of them. But I just don't have the time to read all of them thoroughly,

Wonder if others are still subscribing to car mags and do you actually read them or just look at pictures and an article or two?

I'm sure a lot of you have no interest in mags but for old school guys like me, I'm guessing you must subscribe to a couple car mags, right?
