Default No body reads Magazines anymore, we only look at the pictures.

This is the age of the internet... Magazines are struggling to find market share in a Market that is going south.

VETTE magazine is a good one nice mix of old and new, stock and highly modified. I like reading car magazines, have 3 subscriptions, they keep sending me invites to there online additions, can't stand reading long articles online

IM an old fart too, but mine don't stink.... LOL in fact they smell like baby powder, and on a day when there seems to be a lot of back pressure I can get a small could of white smoke to verify that I am Flatulent...

ON a serious note.. just type in any browser " C5 Corvette Articles"

and you will get hundreds of hits to technical, and other interesting articles about the history, and maintenance of your car... More specific reading in a good defined search than you could ever find in any magazine, that is specific to Corvettes.. Unless you are interested in all generations.. and in that case just do a search of " All Corvette Articles "

The internet is your friend, and there are always a few old farts like me, willing to help a fellow old fart, and even a young pup too.

That makes two of us. I'd much rather have the magazine and file it away with the others than look on line. I find CORVETTE Magazine pretty good. The Tech Nerd section is usually fairly interesting, although the majority of the problems seem to be related to C5s.

Don't know how it works State side, but here in NZ, I was getting Vette Magazine and whilst you'll never find it on the bookshelves (yet you can get the Mustang Mags ) it was just a matter of requesting it from the retailer and they'd source it for you. Print is a dying medium but like others have mentioned, something about reading a magazine that the internet can't quite capture. In saying that I have a pile of around 100+ car magazines that are collecting dust as I tend to read it once, and never again.

IMO, the best Corvette publication out there right now is Corvette Magazine. Quality stories, great photography and very good tech articles.

Like some others have said Vette magazine is still one of the good ones. I refuse to get an online subscription. I like a hard copy of things. Just like music, a hard copy. Not something to download. There have been so many good ones in the past that are gone. Corvette Quarterly, Corvette Enthusiast, for just a couple.

Unfortunately since I also prefer paper, Corvette and Vette are the only two magazines on the market. I have a subscription to an online magazine but I really don't enjoy it. It seems that a lot of favorite magazines have gone away. I guess it is just a sign of the times. I would probably subscribe to any Vette mags available just to help them survive, but that no longer seems to be an option.

I have years and years of old Corvette Fever, Corvette Quarterly and Vette Mags stored in my attic.
Don't know why I saved every issue, but I did.

Yep print is dead. I also never really like the journalism in auto magazines. So bland.

Some decent suggestions above. Although not Corvette specific, I rely on independent you tube auto reviews, and have subrcribed to a few channels.
-Doug DeMuro is a good one IMO. Matt Farah also.

You need to check out your local BooksAMillion store --

our store in Valdosta carries both Corvette and Vette magazines.
If they don't have it on hand, see if they can start ordering it.
