I dont know, I have Automobile and Motortrend. I was subscribed to SCC, until they canned it, then they tried to get me to renew with Modified lol needless to say I didn't renew. I also pick up the occasional Project Car magazine

in the past ive really liked grassroots motorsports and project car, but not consistently

my father has had a subscription to car and driver and motor trend for the last year, so ive been picking up his old issues when he's read them

just can't seem to nail down a sport compact magazine i really like. ive bought a recent modified mag, and it was ok....i bought the project car issue since they inherited all of scc's project cars....but their regular issues are hit and miss.

i have a subscription to performance auto and sound since i got it cheap last winter....man, its such a bad magazine if you don't care about audio...

GRM's pretty much it at home. Unless the kid forgets to take his Classic Motorsport home with him.

I subscribe to Import Tuner, Super Street, and Performance Auto and Sound (all via Zinio on my iPad for $11 a year). Import tuner and Super Street aren't too bad. PAS, like you mentioned is 99% audio.

rifleman's magazine for me...that's about it. no gamespot or xbox mag or anything else......not even playboy. sad i'd rather have guns than chicks.

Get Redline from the UK if you can, it's the only magazine I buy monthly, way more "down to earth" approach than most US "tuning" magazines.

Redline looks interesting. Zinio has it for $39/year for digital sub (and you can preview the entire current issue before buying):

^What Thomas said, Redline is great. I also read Banzai every chance I get. And the occasional Super street.

Import tuner i buy bi monthly...simple because they'll have that rare jdm skyline or 350/370z....
