Cleaning out and found 10 years of car rags (nearly) perfectly preserved. Good work, 17 year old me. At some point I’ll go through all of these and pull out the gems.

Wow, I think I have a few ones I saved, surely not that many.

Good luck. I saved a ton of paper and ephemera, and when I was away at school, my mother had a yard sale - almost all gone.

Keep the SportCompactCar, CarandDriver and throw the rest away.

Going to give that an effort, I’ll at least do the prominent ones.

This could have been me but when I went to college in 2003 my mom threw away my magazines going back to 1989

I’m like you, but purged aggressively a few years ago. Now, I only keep the real gems (rare) and just pull out individual articles/pages to keep (need to find a better way to organize these).

Only because I had room to store them at my parents’ house do I still have all of these. Was surprised to see that 2010 Car and Driver nestled in the side of the one box visible there; that’s both a publication I never subscribed to and well after the date of most of the other magazines.

At the very least I’m going to go through and pluck out the gems, which I figure is one month per publication per year, and then try and track down specific articles I remember. I want to digitize the whole thing, but magazines aren’t particularly conducive to that.

Yeah, my wife was not too keen on moving tubs full of car magazines from our first home to our new home (now 9 years ago) - ha!

I know the feeling. Sent this picture to my wife and her response was “Oh god you’re not bringing those back home are you?’ and the desperation was very real.
