Dirt Rider still lives on. I used to talk to one of the Associate Editors when i met him at the Las Vegas Endurocross in July. I've been emailing him to see if i could get tickets to the final this Saturday with no response. I also emailed him a few weeks ago with no response.

So either im really annoying or theyre telling employees to keep their mouth shut.

hard to find RC car magazines too.

Borders should charge $2 an hour to enter the magazine section haha...at least it would keep the creepy old asian men from looking at the Hustlers LOL

I think they will stick around...i mean, advertisments pay for a lot of the magazine dont they? and if people are skimming thru them in a borders, then its working...

i have taken many pics of adverts that grabbed my interest with phone all while standing in a Borders

downed economy = less subscriptions....

****ing really? down economy means you can't afford $22 for a 2-3 year subscription?? that is pathetic... or sad. Sorry but I'm poor and still maintain over 10 magazine sub's. Maybe it's because it is part of my industry but magazine sub's are ****ing CHEAP!

Oh god no, the only sport compact car with any sort of intelligent writing is gone. Not that I didn't see it coming, it seemed every issue was getting skinnier and skinnier....This is a sad, sad day.

Makes me want to strap a couple of import model girls to the hood and drive a hummer through the front door of Import Tuner.

I'm just sayin...

I agree. SCC was always the most fun to read, like when the chopped the hell out of that white car to make it lighter, and that insane s2000 suspension article. (tear)

Import tuner is only good for pictures, and those ridiculous power pages

Super street is just a flip through too.

Tuner performance reports is cool, but if they do one more damn "inside EVO" before an STI one, I'm going to break out in hives.

meh...

Hated that magazine,

in other news, Ashlee Simpson named her child "B.M.W."

Can you believe that ****? What a dumb *****.
