Magazine Subscriptions?

Which car magazines are you subscribed to?
I'm want to start reading because I'm really bored all the time. I'll subscribe to 2 magazines, one tuner magazine (Import Tuner, Super Street...) and one that does cars in general (Motor Trend, Car and Driver...) Which ones do you guys like?

Right now only Road & Track. I am going to get a subscription to F1 Racing soon, and maybe EVO (UK) as well.

I park my ass at Borders and read them all.
Borders = based in Ann Arbor
C&D, Automobile = editorial boards are in Ann Arbor

I like to go for an authentic "bullshit opinions" reading experience.

............................................ and if I get tired of that, I just flip through the girls in "Performance Auto & Sound." :bling:

I used to get Road and Track and Motor Trend. I don't know, I got tired of them. Tired of reading about BMWs and road tests of cars I'll never even sit in in my lifetime.

I spend my money on Playboy and Field and Stream these days.

Yeah yeah, so they have named the TSX to the 10 Best list for each of the 3 years it's been on the road.

Road & Track is a little better, but not by much. I just get it for free (for about 10 years now). Car is great, but I'm about to start getting Top Gear.

What!?!? They have a screaming bias for BMW and Honda. (which is why I love them)

The Accord has a dynasty on the 10 Best list and who can argue with that?

I cant stand the writing in Top Gear. I got the last issue (newer one is on news stands now) and I seriously dont think anyone bothered to proof read it before it was published. EVO & CAR >>> Top Gear IMO.

Top Gear the show is great...but, the magazine is mehhh...If there were two definitive car magazines, I'd go with either EVO or CAR. But, be ready to pay for 'em...
