Thread: Magazine Collections

Tweet

For years I was a magazine junkie, bought probably 5 or 6 a month and rummaged through the $ .25 to $ 1.00 boxes at swap meets to find ones I somehow missed. But I am like Jay, the internet now takes my interest and I rarely if ever buy a magazine.

I will probably get excommunicated for this but if anyone has street rodder from 1977, I think, They featured my '57 Pontiac altered wheel base car and used in the cartoon in the back. sure would like to have a copy if any one has it.

I'll dig around next time I am at the shop (that's where I keep them these days) and if I have it I'll let you know. How about Brian, can he get you something out of his archives?

Don

I always thought of asking him, but he is always so busy. We are having dinner Thursday, I'll see what kind of mood he is in
Jerry took his new car to Bonneville and it went 203mph, then he drove it home! Got to love him.

Funny I just starting subscribing to street rodder(this week), after reading the article in it on Ken's RPU. I also just subscribed to classic trucks magazine. I find the adds help me locate parts, and it's nice to see what other people come up with, but I figure I'm not the collecting sort, so it will probably be just during the truck build that I keep the subscriptions.
Ken I will keep my eye out for a 77 issue with your car in it!

....You know what 'irks' me about magazine subscriptions is as soon as you subscribe & get your first issue they start sending you 're-newal' letters! "last chance for this price to re-subscribe"!!! "HURRY, you subscription is due to expire soon"!!! As if I didn't get enough 'junk' mail as it is!!! Plus when your subscription starts they usually send you 2 to 3 issues to start. Yeah, so you get a new one AND the last two that you already bought at the news stand!!! So actually your only getting 9 or 10 issues for the price of one year..... Anyway, that's why I hate subscriptions!!! Bill

I hate all those inserts they slip into each magazine, no matter how many you pull out and toss, there are still some that keep falling out on you as you read it. How many subscription offers do they need to put per copy? I would think one would do it.
