hmschooln Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 So ds(12) has taken an interest in all things car related here of late and we were considering getting him a subscription to an auto magazine, but I have no clue. Does anyone have a recommendation? One thing, he would be totally freaked out if there were a lot of the um, helpful ads in the back or the pics of "look at my great car" with mechanic straddling the hood, so any heads up there would be appreciated. :001_smile: Thanks!

justasque Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Car and Driver is a good all around mag, with decent writing (though it's been a while since I read a copy). There are a lot of genre-specific mags, of course. (And I assume he watches Top Gear from the BBC? Good show.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyD Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My dad has subscribed to Car & Driver, Road & Track, and Motor Trend for, oh, 40 years? As long as I can remember. I believe one of them is slightly more oriented towards the consumer and another towards the racing enthusiast, but unfortunately I cannot recall which one is which. Not very helpful, I'm afraid.

ThatHomeschoolDad Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 You're right about the ads. Best bet is to go to B&N and peruse so you can get a feel for which have which content. Maybe Automobile, which is a brit publication. It's been a while since I've seen any in depth enough to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmschooln Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 :001_smile:Thanks all for the help. Yep, he does like Top Gear. Was finally able to get to the store to flip through some and I think I'll go with Car and Driver. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
