Was recently notified that Mustang Monthly and Musclecar Review have seen their last printed issue. Have been a subscriber to both for 30+ years. No desire to go to their online version.

While it's great to get the printed copy to flip through each month... my personal entertainment value lasts maybe 10-15 mins for Mustang Monthly.  If I ever would need to refer back to information, it would take forever to find the printed copy.

Reading magazines never required my having to recharge anything.  Will miss the printed page.  At least SAAC gives us both with the SA quarterly being digital and then the printed annual edition.   8)

Little bit off topic,but whats going on with paper magazines, I just read in the paper that Low-riders magazine is going away also. I don't care for those cars but paper magazines are going digital

We can't say we didn't see the writing on the wall. The Mustang Monthy magazine had become a complete waste of ink.  The articles were useless for anything I was doing. I saved many of the older MM magazines because the articles were useful and some of them were actually helpful during the restoration. I have since elected to dispose of 99% of them and kept only a few. Many spanning back to the late 80's.

I guess the days of getting your car in a magazine is over too.

Hot Rod and Motor Crap caters to "Brand X" vehicles and engines.  Perhaps if we put an LS into our Shelby we'll make print.
