Popular Hot Rodding Magazine - Get Ready For Attack

[dulcich]

After Buying Popular Hot Rodding Magazine for 35 years ...Due To Them Removing My Commenting Ability on FB ...I am Boycotting PHR and the nerds who work there ...store bought cars with 200lb rims on them

SGM, you are constantly negative about the 'magazine guys', like you are really a superior 'car guy' and are cock sure you could do a better job. I know you are probably more skilled at turning wrenches than a lot of guys, like maybe Hunkins (though I own you). So, if you're so much better, why didn't you blaze trails on that career path rather than go to work flat rate at the dealership? Your choice. While you were piling on the dough laughing about how much you can cut off book, Hunkins was the sucker cutting his teeth in the business making nothing and getting ground to a pulp by Ralph Monte at CSK, and going to events with a $25 a day per dium. I give him credit for surviving and getting to be editor of PHR. I remember working for those guys expecting a 600/mo. paycheck and sometimes waiting three months to get paid. A lot of the magazine guys you want to demean are more dedicated than you think.

BTW, gonna post on your behalf on FB right now

Now that will be funny? " This is Groucho channeling For SBG since John has installed a muffler on his poster thingy. " I'm down to Hot Rod from the 6 or so I used to get.

Yes, PHR sucks. Nothing in it for me. CC's, only good to see when to expect the new Elapsed Times. A surprisingly good rag from a mag that sucks. HR's OK, but if they raise the price one more penny I'm gone from it too. LOL. I get an offer renewal every other month for the entire 2 year subscription. Hey, right hand, tell the left hand WTF you're doing.

Not sure how it happened........for the past two years I've been receiving 2 copies of HR.
Go ahead and dis continue.........I'll send ya my extra

Bottom line is, mags have to worry mainly about guys who stand at-least a slight chance of buying something of the sort their advertisers offer this year, that's business. The rest...what do they want?...Not the major issue for them.

Well PHR put my car in it twice and I got "this" close to getting a cover.(Long Story) I've felt for a long time sense SuperFord got killed,that only Car Craft and PHR was doing what Im doing.

Well, look, you sure as hell got me there, and I don't doubt you could bill 80 or more in that 40 hr week. That's real work, and I do respect it.

[Scott Liggett]

I started reading them again when my buddy Yannick started wrenching on Campbell's Cougar. That whole mess is my fault, so I buy those issues as punishment.

2x. The thrill is gone now, though.

I only renew because I haven't missed an issue in over thirty years (I didn't save my first five years of "Pop Rod.")

Some 'o us are wondering where Johnny lost the plot . . . .
