Thoughts on Mopar Collector Guide Magazine

[Mopar426power]

Hello,
My subscription is up for renewal and I probably will, but just thought I would sample opinions...

I like getting a real magazine that I can flip through for a few days, I rarely turn on a computer at home. The thing I don't care for is it seems a bit elitist. It feels like 9 out of 10 cars in the mag are owned by multi millionaires. This is evident when that state "one of 14 Hemi cars" the guys owns, or "one of 204 cars" in this guys collection. There doesn't seem to be many "regular guy cars." Even the very unique cars featured seemed to be snatched up by the entitled few... Not a lot of hope for young people to have interest in 7 figure cars.

Anyways probably just overreacting, besides there is not much else in print out there...

Great question! And it's something worth pondering on if you get nervous at renewal time. For me, at least as long as I've subscribed I've always found the magazine to be worthy of my money. It's really not expensive in the big scheme of things. I think my last annual was $45? I don't recall exactly, and remember you get a free shirt! : ) But for me- getting it and seeing the stories of people like me that had the opportunity to find their dream car and drive it makes it worth it to me. I WILL however let my Hemmings subscription run out. I have not subscribed to HOT ROD in over 5 years and probably will never again unless they change their content.

I ditched it years ago - probably 12+ years. Had been a subscriber for quite some time. Thru them all out when we moved.

There was this middle section of black and white print of political diarrhea and who knows what else that I could not deal with. That was the nail in the coffin for me.

Was informative though.
