OK, I'll pile on.

I used to get R&T just for Peter Egan (that and whatever MC rag he wrote for, too). Autoweek hasn't been the same since it was on newsprint :-)

I try to get books in, but regularly read:

Grassroots Motorsports
Panorama (again, cause it's free)
Mopar Action (excellent tech, and they roadrace)
Harvard Biz Review
The Economist
Fine Homebuilding

No Barely Legal or anything, I'm an aging fart. Oh, and Yeungling Black & Tan is great stuff.

I guess I should have clarified, "what magazines do you folks read?" Anyways, beside the P-cars, it looks like alot of us are also Mopar fans, and there are a few **** mags mixed in for good measure . Keep 'em coming folks.

Eric
P.S. ribs, it is Miller Lite all the way. Or, if no Lite, Amstel Light or 7&7. Just NO A/B products---those guys are scumbags(I know from experience).

What **** magazines and what beer, hmmm?

Well I quit drinking again about 4 years ago (used to be straight edge, hard habit to break) but when I did drink I liked a lot of the Rogue brewery ales and stouts. Guinness on tap or in the can (the only beer I know of that tastes good from a can) though avoid Guinness from the bottle at all costs, too fizzy. My friend Gordo makes a hell of a red ale too, but it makes you fart. It is actually one of the best beers I have ever had. His steam beer really wasn't all that exciting though.

**** mags, not too sure about that. All the folks I knew that were into **** and **** films really turned me off to that whole scene. Kind of the same thing with nudey bars, all those drooling zombie pervs hoping for something, yikes!!!

911 & Porsche World, Excellence, Pano for Porsche only. For race coverage, National Speedsport News and Autosport. Autoweek, mostly because it's so cheap to subscribe I can't pass it up.

Thoroughbred and Classic, as well as Classic and Sportscar. Both great. AutoItalia, as I've owned 4 Alfa's before coming over to the Porsche side, and still want another Duetto for those sunny Sunday drives. I'm a Cavallino subscriber from issue 3 as well. F1 mag when the cover has something good.

The EWA model and literature store is only about 20 minutes away, so I spend enough there that wifey complains. Of course I tell her I could take up golf, and drop 25K to join a club, and that takes care of that!
