I remember back when I bought my 87 LX, there were a couple great magazines. One was Cars Illustrated and the other was Hot Street Cars(or similar). They had a couple staff writers, Tony DeFeo and Neil Van Opre. I believe both had to go out and buy there Mustangs to test themselves :smile: They became the subject of many articles and Neil ended up writing for MM&FF. Actually there is some connection between those mags and MM&FF, at least in the early days. I have misplaced most of these and would pay good money to have replacements. They just had a writing style with an edge. Even MM&FF from the early 90's had it.
Tony wrote an article in a MM&FF about 3 or 4 years ago about that time in his life. That is one of the best pieces I have ever read in that rag and it came from an outside source. He had to deliver pizza in his Mustang to make ends meet. He had to sell it a year-and-a-half later because he couldn't afford to keep it. I think he said it made over 1000 passes down the 1/4, LOL.
Magazines these days are just watered down garbage for the most part. Everything is going to pooled information centers at Primedia to keep costs down(well profits up). And to boot, a freakin subscription to MM&FF cost like $28

I don't know about you, but when a damn car magazine that is basically paid for by advertisers starts costing more than one with naked women, something is terribly wrong with that.
