Got this news from my friend Dave Jennings - The world is changing. . .

Print will stop at the end of this month.

It was bound to happen, I have a good friend who wrote many articles for the Ford related magazines, while he does not work directly for this company, his parent company will be focusing more on the online version of the magazines and the articles.......He is unsure of his future with the company, but had a good long 20+ year run and is happy for the experiences he had along the way.

I knew this was coming at some point. I hate to see it, but I know that magazines are a dying business. I subscribe to Hot Rod magazine. That one made the cut - for now.

I haven't read a paper magazine in easily a decade! It's all online now.

I've recently let my Hot Rod and Street Rodder subscriptions lapse, and I've got 18 to 24 months of magazines untouched.....

I subscribe to a couple mopar independent ones and Hot Rod. I was really surprised the mags lasted as long as they did. Most everything has went to social media which IMO isn't better than a mag. It's just easier for the mass I hear.

I canceled all my subscriptions a few years ago. Just didn’t make sense to pay for the paper magazines anymore when you get so much free online info.

The letter from Ten offered an online subscription to any of the three they kept for as long as the remainder of my subscription was left.
That was the only offer. Nothing about a refund. I went online and they had no way to request a refund. There was only a tab if you
were having problems, you could contact them and they would reply. I wrote asking for a refund and was very specific about it. It took a few days but I did get a return saying they would post a refund. So if you are not happy with the option offered by them, do a little
digging and you can get your money back.
