"Cars And Parts" mag. will be discontinued and a new "Auto Enthusiast" mag. is replacing it. Received my copy today. Boy, is it lousy! 90% adds. and mostly for modern cars that I have no interest in.Threw it away, will never buy another.

It's a shame that so many magazines are going to mass quantities of adds. I'm sure that it's not cheap to operate a publication like that and they have to get the revenue from somewhere. Problem is that things do suffer and it becomes uninteresting.

Thanks for the heads up though

The sad part to much of this change in publications is that corporate America goes where the most bucks are - and at this point in time it's the younger crowd. The 18-30 year olds.
Trouble is there's a pretty good "gray haired" audience in the old cars market - but we really don't count any more.

Yeah, Alex,
But isn't that the group that is higher percentage out of work?
I know you and I are not rich, but a lot of retired folks have plenty of money to spend. That's who's buying up all my Hudson parts.The casinos here are full of the older folks.
