I made the mistake of subscribing to both PE and HPP at the GTO Nats for the free t-shirts. Of course, the friendly counter person did not inform me that PE was going down the crapper in a few months...

I was disappointed in PE. Very little content and some rather dubious feature cars. HPP hasn't been much better, although I do remember a very good issue around August. Zero coverage of the GTO Nats in etiher rag. Pathetic.

I figured complaining about content "or lack of Pontiacs" would fall on deaf ears,
so I cashed out, I did not even want to see another issue if the premier one was
that bad.

I was very nice to the girl who answered the phone at Amos
and told her I had no intrest in the content of the new Magazine.

She allowed me to swap my remaining subscription for a credit which
I used to purchase a Cars & Parts book on a 1963 Corvette restoration.
https://www.amosadvantage.com/scotto...5Fno=&Tab=auto

Wost case I have an interesting book to read,
Instead of 6 months worth of Ads & New Mustang articles.

If I dont like it I guess I can always eBay or Amazon the book for about $20
Corvette guys will buy anything with a Stingray on it!


Take a look if you dont like what they offered in the new mag, swap it for a book or apparel, lisc plate ect.

Scroll down to the bottom I found more books there. The pickings are a little slim.
There is a few firebird & GTO Books and a few general Musscle car books, but I already had them.

Check arround the site. The AA price is what you pay, they might agree to
allow you to pay the difference if the book you want costs more than what they owe you.
I got them to agree to knock off the shipping for my corvette book.

I'd cash out now if your unhappy, by the looks of things I'd be afraid
the new mag wont even last till the end of the remaining subscription.
Might as well get your moneys worth out of them.

Thanks for the tip, Rack776. I took a look at their offerings and decided on the "LOUNGE MASTER BOWLING SHIRT". (see link) Then again, maybe I'll just get a book. Jim

thats cool, at least you found something you can use,
I hate to see guys complain and "just let the subscription run out"
They win that way, if your un happy get your moneys worth out of them.

They also had some harley books, diecast cars ect.

Good luck,

I just got the new HPP yesterday and it was very good,
hope they stay on track and the sales numbers are there for them.

-Jason
