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.
