I believe HPP will be folded into Hot Rod magazine, so I'd put money that the online resources will continue. They'd be terribly dumb not to do that, although it all comes down to money so who knows?

SUCKS!! I let my HPP subscription run out, but I still buy it off the magazine rack. HPP, Musclecar Review, PHR are what I read. Hot Rod and Car Craft - no thanks.

Hot Rod is doing some neat stuff. The current issue has a huge Pontiac article done by Don Keefe.

Am I the only one here with the "oh well" attitude? I mean I am a subscriber but that magazine gave me about 15 min of entertainment each issue, at best.
Kind of like The Legend, what a joke. Yes the were, are Pontiac only, but talk about lackluster. Anyway, kind of like killing off Pontiac, who cares.

That's why you care, you lost out on $30?
I do feel for the employees now unemployed. I get more from these forums in one evening then I got from one of the HPP magazines. Check that, make it in a hour.

I dropped HPP several years ago because content seemed to be lacking, and appeared to be struggling to bring in new and different cars. You can only give the history of the GTO so many times. I do now subscribe to Hod Rod which has almost give away prices on the magazine subscriptions, and they are doing some great stories on all different kind of cars. I also love the Road Kill series they do on your tube as well.

Do we get a choice of money back or at least pick the magazine we get?

I subsrcibed from 1990-2006. I don't really miss it since we have the internet to feed our senses.
It seemed like overkill when they went to monthly issues. That, and it was watered down with post PMD V-8 era cars. |

See my sig and article from HPP on my experience with HPP. This is awfull for the hobby. If you think this is just a ho-hum issue you are mistaken. Per my car being in HPP I own every mag from 1986-90 (I think)Per article, I got the fever back in 1997 and have every mag since then. An absolute wealth of knowledge contained in the publication. Are some issues not as good as others ? Yes. It's nice when your working in the garage and need info on a GTO brake upgrade article or how to change front control arm bushings on a TA (Thanks Rocky Rotella) that you can dig through a box and find a pertinent article with pic's. Much info about Ponchos on the Web but not like the mag. A truly sad day indeed.

I just renewed HPP for 2 years. I'm probably SOL.
When Pontiac Enthusiast folded, I believe subscribers lost their money and got nothing. The Internet has made many printed publications obsolete.

Well this royally sucks. I just completed working with Chris Phillip, a photographer out of Orlando, and a writer out of Brooksville to do an upcoming feature on my El Clasico Hurst SSJ...
Do these things just get lost in the shuffle?

Harvey, from what I was told today, any story not in the issue currently at the printer is dead. I had a few in cue too.

Sad day indeed. I get my subscription through Zino Publishing, which luckily has nearly lapsed. I feel for those who've just re-subscribed.
