Totally off the wall but that's about when my drivers license expires out here in AZ. Cracks me up man, in MI we had to renew every 4 years. All I can say is "be aware" if you're ever in this area...

Just imagine how easy it is to use fake I.D. out here...

Sir, that picture doesn't look anything like you.

Well no sh*t, it was taken 15 years ago.

What surprised me was that for the last issue there was a clone on the cover - don't get me wrong it's a very cool car I would love to own, but really?

I like your optimism.

By total coincidence, my subscription expired with the October 2014 issue. Guess I timed that right.

Sept 2017 for HPP.

Good news is, I have Hot Rod thru Aug 2015, so extending that is okay by me if that is the choice I'm given.

That sucks! I don't want "Hot Rag" showing up in my mailbox. They can keep my money. Hot Rod is trash in my opinion.

Since the days it was Thunder Am, HPP had a great 35 year run!
I'm sorry to see it go. I've been a reader since the '80's. I have NO love for "Hot Rag" and hope they DO NOT transfer my subscription to them. I'll go without before I accept "Hot Rag". I will miss the Pontiac specific magazine. I really enjoyed getting the issues and seeing what was new out there. The tech articles came in handy several times now working on my Trans Am. I still have the one on the Hurst Shifter linkage setting in the garage that I used to readjust my linkage after the bolts backed out. Thanks HPP, that was VERY handy!

Salute HPP!

I am/was paid up until April of 2018. Just did so this past spring. I have no desire to receive any other car magazine. I for one really enjoyed each issue of HPP.

Got my first issue of Car Craft the other day with a cover sheet explaining what is happening.

I wasn't given a choice. The Car Craft just showed up.

Since I already get Hot Rod, thought maybe they'd extend that subscription.

If there was a choice of Titles, I guess they decided what was best for me.

Too bad, I might have liked to choose another Title to try.

I read some of the Car Craft last night but don't remember anything of interest.

Anybody have anything good to say about Car Craft?

You can hang that in your closet next to your "TITANIC" maiden voyage T-shirt!

Actually, for me it was PHR, then CC, then HR (behind HPP of course). Kind of wish they took out HR instead of PHR. I barely get much out of HR. I just subscribe because it was dirt cheap.

When they start jacking up the prices now that they've eliminated the internal competition, there will be one more magazine I won't be getting.
