I tend to read the British mags such as EVO and CAR. Other than that, I might read the occasional Road & Track.

If you are only talking about subscriptions - then it's the ones listed above.

What car mags I buy occasionally:

EVO
CAR
Top Gear
Racecar Engineering
Autosport
Road and Track

My Dad is currently in the process of going through all his old magazines so he can sell them. He has hundreds and hundreds of Motorsport, CAR, Autosport, R&T, Car & Driver, F1 Racing and a miriad of others that date back to the mid 60's. I've already gone through the non-motorsport ones like R&T and C&D, and taken the issues with tests of my car from 85 and 86! I'll see if there are issues with other Rx7's in them - Just might take some time!

Yeah but $10canadian per year for a subscription can't be beat. I use it to keep up with advertisers offerings.

I usually go to Chapters and read anything and everything that catches my eye, it is rare that I see an article that warrants purchasing it. (But I'm cheap and you should really buy them to keep them going)

I used to subscribe to SCC but it took a real nose dive for a bit there. I don't know how it is now, but when I stopped subscribing (about a year ago) all they talked about was "how to drop an h22 into your honda civic" or "we race 12 police cars and see which one's fastest!!"

Now the only thing i read is the forum and howstuffworks.com....what has this world come to?
