One of the first big boy things I did after college was get a subscription to Autoweek back in ‘84. Here’s the last print issue. Somehow their website experience won’t be the same. By by old friend.
PS - Were I the editor, I would continue the idea of having issues. That way I can sit down and scan what is new rather than having to look under a bunch of menu’s to see if there is anything new.

Loved the weekly magazine. Dad and I would hit it on Thursdays. It always had a behind scenes on racing or production. Great reviews. A lot of fun. Industry may change but I can’t imagine there’s not enough stories to report just like before. Then they went monthly and never changed the name.
I guess you can't report weekly what everyone already read daily online.

I remember back in the day when it was a large format newsprint style publication (I am pretty sure it was in 84, too). I had a subscription to it when I was in grade school around 88-89, smaller format by then.
I have no interest in digital subscriptions. I have a print C& subscription today, I think it was 2 years for $5 lol.

I agree and I do spend more time online than I do reading. But still I miss having curated commentary and articles using higher production values than the blog presented in a once a week format.

I used to have a subscription to Newsweek that was somehow included with my public radio membership. I still have the last print issue of that. I enjoyed the content and would have kept reading but the iPad version was total buggy crap.

I’ll miss it as well. That makes at least 4 of us.
