Default VETTE Magazine - Discontinued

I just received an e-mail from Ten publishing that VETTE mag has been discontinued. I'm saddened in a way, but not surprised in another. The magazine IMO, has become somewhat repetitive from issue to issue. Vette is no longer, even online.

They also discontinued Automobile, another one of their publications. They are offering you a digital version of Hot Rod or Motor Trend to make up for it.

They did indeed. I believe I will pass on both and continue to get my vette kicks and info on this forum.

Hmm....I just got the latest issue in the mail (picture of a '59 barn find on the cover). Oddly, it's marked as "March 2020" issue & the address label shows a Jun20 subscription expiration date. I don't remember getting any message about the publication being discontinued but will be interesting to see if any further issues show up. In any case, thanks for the heads up!

Motor Trend TV is boring.

I haven't had a magazine subscription in at least a decade, I guess I'm part of the "problem".

I got that email too. It was my favorite mag because it had a lot of "how to" articles.

I saw this posted over on Chevelles.com last week. I'm bummed out about Car Craft going away. There's a list of mags that are going away at the end of this link.

I have no interest in online subscriptions. I'm not taking a laptop into the toilet with me and a phone is way too small for my aging eyes.

Autoweek magazine is no longer in print either, I started reading it back when it was made of news print. They are offering Car & Driver as an alternative, yawn.

Wait, are you talking about Corvette Magazine , or is it just called '' Vette Mag " ?

This is a link to what I have a subscription to. It doesn't come every single month, but every 2 months. Been reading at least 2 yrs. I enjoy them.

Car magazines are going away just like the telephone book we used to get every year at our front door.

Eh, still get those. I always immediately toss in the recycling bin when we get it. Funny, that it always looks the same after being recycled, LOL !
