Remember when you'd pick up a copy of Hot Rod to flip through and one of the coolest things was, articles about hot rods? Something somebody built out of a regular car with unique ideas, tricks, etc. and maybe you'd just gawk or perhaps it was inspiration to build something of your own?
The latest issue of the magazine named after that-type car has Engine Masters plus more about a Chevy engine you can buy, some odd pics of neat things, coverage of their Drag Weekend event and as is typical there's lots to read about new Camaros and Mustangs you can buy. Some words about fuel (good) and, oh, the Marlan Davis stuff...always appreciated except that if a guy with a famous name doesn't know how to put a starter in his car, I'm not sure how much I care about that.
Apparently these "hot rod" things are either getting really hard to find, or our new editor just doesn't come across many in his I-wanna-be-Motor-Trend world, or maybe all the advertisers selling hot rod parts (not so many now) aren't demanding that cars using their parts are featured and letting Weather Tech floor mats do the driving.
Should I really be bothering to subscribe to this any more?
