They added Hot Rod and it went up from $8 to $17.45 . Probably takes about 3-4 months to get your first magazines, but they do come.
Just scored some great deals magsforless.com (Dwell for under $15!) w00t! I did notice Wired wasn't a deal though. More than double what you pay for a subscription direct from Wired. But everything else I picked up was a steal.

i ordered once from them, and it took them one year to send me NO MAGAZINES.
And when they finally decided to refund my money after numerous emails, they charge me for another time.

customer service is really really slow, takes about a month for every e-mail.
wouldn't recommend this site.

plus in 2004, when the STi first came out, they had a comparo between it and the mustang GT (or was it the SVT version???)

anyways, they loved the STi and said many good things about it.

That sucks, did you ever get your money back after they charged you the 2nd time? I agree that many of these magazine sites are hit and miss. Luckily I had a pretty good experience with this site other than it taking 2-3 months for the subscription to start.

bumping this up, as I'm interested to know if anyone still or recently placed an order on any of these sites and received their magazines? If so, which one?

I registered with www.freebizmag.com, and I have a few free one-year subscriptions from them: Motor Trend, Automobile, Road & Track, AutoWeek, Popular Photography, US News, Greenlight, Art in America, PC Magazine, Sunset, and Saveur.

You just have to be patient and wait for their emails with free offers. I haven't paid for a car magazine subscription for almost three years now. I do get a little bit more junk mail, but it's worth it.
