So, I'm kind of curious to see what everyone else reads monthly. I know everyone says print is dying and the internet is the way to go; but I like getting a magazine in the mail once a month. Even if the news isn't new to me and the majority of the content is available online; there is just something about holding a physical magazine that feels different and better. So Oppo, what do you buy from the newsstand or receive via subscription every month?

As for myself, I subscribe to mostly the same stuff I did years ago in high school:
Car and Driver
Honda Tuning Magazine
Import Tuner
Modified (RIP)
Road and Track

And on occasion while at Barnes and Noble, I'll pick up an issue of:
CAR
Project Car (RIP)
Top Gear

I'm really interested to see what everyone else reads because I've been toying around with the idea of subscribing to more magazines.

I personally like the DuPont Registry because it's fun window shopping.

I also subscribe to Motorcyclist Magazine and Sport Rider.

Car and Driver (my mother constantly renews this for me, not entirely sure why) and Automobile (which I get because IMO it has the best staff of any traditional publication out there: Jennings, Cumberford, Dyer, Kitman, etc).

It used to be Motor Trend and Sport Compact Car. Then I realized MT was garbage and subscribed to Car and Driver instead. I subscribed to SCC for something like ten years, and still have every issue. I thought most tuner mags were crap, but SCC was consistently great.

So now, it's just Car and Driver. I enjoy the occasional Top Gear here and there, but the only british mag I would subscribe to is EVO.

When I get a 911 I'll probably subscribe to Excellence. I also like the occasional Sports Car International.

Octane, Classic Porsche and 911 & Porsche World. I had a subscription to Motor Sport but I can only take so much passive-aggressive Ferrari bashing and overt beatification of all things Woking-based.

I was a C&D subscriber from around 1991 until about 2004 or so. I also subscribed to SCC for about 5 or 6 years in there.

Those two mags had the best writing IMHO.

Now a days if i'm looking for a print mag, i'll usually try and find an issue of EVO. If C&D looks like its got an interesting article i may pick it up as well.

None. I always pick these magazines up in waiting rooms (they are current issues mind you) and realize that all the news is super old especially the rumors they report on. Print media is dead. The only thing that is ever relevant in them anymore are the actual reviews and first drive articles in them. By the time they come out, we already know all the specs and rumors etc...

All of the magazines at the Barnes & Noble down the road. I scan the articles and read what looks good. And they even provide a comfortable sitting area.
