What magazine do you buy?

Some time ago before I owned a home computer(now, laptop/tablet), I had 4-5 subscriptions to auto & consumer magazines.
The only one I subscribe to right now is Harper's...the political mag, not the fashion mag Harper's Bazaar. I will typically go on this mag for a year when they offer me a good deal and then off it for a year or two when they want me to pay the going rate to continue. I used to also get Atlantic Monthly, but I never was able to even remotely keep up with the two mags after we had our daughter and AM never sends me good offers to re-up anymore.
My wife gets Consumer Reports and I will usually read that fairly closely.
Used to get a SKI magazine sub for free when I raced NASTAR, but reading those got old pretty fast. I will occasionally buy Ancient History and Ancient Warfare mags at the bookstore, but too many of the issues of those are duds as far as my interests go to think about subscribing.

I used to get a few car mags but realized that I was never going to be a hot rodder. I like flipping through the Smithsonian but haven't renewed in a while. Only mag I get now is QST (amateur radio), even though I'm not active on radio. I get most info that I want & need online.

I lost interest in car magazines once the internet got better.
The May 1998 issue of "Sport Compact Car" literally changed my life. In the "How to get 450 HP for a Nissan 300ZXTT" article, I learned what a MAF was, how it worked, and then I knew I would be able to work with computerized cars. There were other interesting articles, most of them were about amazing cars that weren't sold in the USA.

I prefer magazines over the internet. I would forget to look at the internet versions and having paper coopies gives me something to read when sitting on the bathroom throne.

Car Craft was my favorite mag when I was a kid! I've been meaning to resubscribe, I am glad to see it is still around. Hot Rod was also good, they were both pretty similar.
