Mopar Magazines

Killer6 said
I don't understand the animosity towards the partnership of advertising & features/promotions, it is beneficial to all parties, why is it a bad thing? Should a magazine not feature any product some person/group actually invested time & $$$$ in developing and producing for Mopars simply because they are also spending $$$ to advertize in(read "support") said magazine???
I get it, You think the content is stale, OK fair enough. Many engine builds are featured & documented/dyno'd w/o ever being installed in a vehicle, that is not unique to a single mag, projects cost $$$$. Intake/cam/carb/header/combo tests can't possibly all be track-tested, it would bankrupt a rag, the dyno-time is enough. I saw value in all of the mags, because they supported My hobby, something sorely lacking in the mid '80's when I had My 1st Mopar('83). Just My 2cents.

I take issue with focusing highly on advertisor products, because most mags will walk right past any negatives associated with those products so they don't run off their finance base. This is no less than lying to consumers in my opinion.

Yeah, projects cost money. Magazines get tons of parts donated by advertisors and basically use these builds as a write off. It's a totally different world when they build a car versus you or me. They get paid to do it.

MA has always been up front about this, calling a spade a spade, so to speak.
