[urq] NAC : Car and Driver past issues...

[Brandon Rogers]

Speaking of HS&E - 
My favorite feature article "Driveable Dream" features an '84 4000s quattro
this month.  And while I have not read it yet, a very quick skim revealed
our very Martin Pajak's name in there.  I think I receognized the owner's
name but am not sure....

I like Ezra Dyer - good, clever writer.  But I'm just soooo tired of reading
about all the same cars and the same shootouts and comparos. I have no
interest in 95%+ of the cars on the road - and I've read enough about the
tuner 911 turbos and M3's, etc etc etc.  At least in HS&E I read about stuff
that while I may not want to own (now, at least) it's new info on cool
old/enthusiast cars.

I too had the habit to keep ALL car magazines I bought. Then, when I got the
Quattro, I went in the basement to search for an article about the car :
nothing. That's when I decided to clear most of them, except CD. My youth is
in there, you know.

 

To my eye, recent magazines are not up to their reputation. I guess our
reading habits have changed a bit (news channels, blogs, web, iPad, etc.)
and rags have a hard time keeping up. In the past, I was anticipating any
trip to the bookstore. Now, what I read in there is already on the web since
a month or two, there is not much surprise. That's why I now follow good
writers (Ezra Dyer in Automobile Mag, John Phillips, Csaba Csere and Don
Sherman in CD, etc) because the automobile is just the matter from which
they cast a good story.

LOL, no idea. They are neatly packed away in Rubbermaid containers, so no
'Hoarders' appearance for me! I do riffle through them every now and again
for fun, and yeah, the ads are fun to look at for sure.

I suspect they will be on Craigslist at some point when we move from NJ in 3
years or so.

And what do you plan to do with that ton of paper ? 

I'm just curious. maybe we share the same disease ?
