Default Car Mags?

What car magazines do you all subscribe to, or recommend? I'm getting Motor Trend, C@D already. I'm thinking of adding either Road &Track, SCC, or Automobile. I know what SCC is all about, but is R&T or Automobile better? Don't really want Super Street because a friend gets that and lets me borrow. Thanks.

I prefer R&T to Automobile personally. I also read the others you have listed-C&D, MT etc.. All mags have their ups and downs/highs and lows. With a good spread of different mags, I usually find some interesting reads.

Automobile mag sucks in my opinion. The best reviews, in my opinion, come from Car and Driver. Road and track tend to give you better pictures if thats what you like along with "funner" tests and reviews. My 2 cents. Motor Trend I read anyway...they are fun to read but don't stand out it any way.

I get Automobile, C & D, R & T, and AutoWeek. I got sick and tired of Motor Trend sending me my magazines three weeks after they hit the stands. I like to read Evo and Car but they have too many cars I can't buy or those little shit boxes I don't care about, but they have some kick ass cars.

My favorite mag by far is "Grassroots Motorsports"
A very clean to the point performance mag, I highly recommend you give it a try

Can't believe I forgot to list Grassroots Motorsports! Great rag...DEFINITELY pick it up if you have any sort of competitive nature or just want to learn how to go faster and handle better on a budget!
