Missed on this combo?

That's ok,
I use to love reading hot rod mags
now i buy on for when i go camping or something, never read it.
As you get older you recognize hype a lot better.
The mags actually were sources of good knowledge and info, similar to a site like FABO, back in the day (1970's). Now they just have 'builds' to advertise parts and shops. I remember when the C&D staff would put together their own engines work out all the details THEMSELVES.

It's the difference between 'car guys' and 'journalists'....
