L'automobile magazine (almost the same thing as you have here with Automobile)

In the UK, Autocar (used to be Autocar & Motor) is a good weekly read, but in the last year or so hasn't had so many of the cool articles they used to have

I find 'CAR' is pretty good these days. Tend to concentrate more on Performance/generally interesting stuff and less on euro-econo-hatch tests (Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra et al). Even when they do test boring cars, they always make it more interesting than Autocar do.

Cap't - I figured you would at least read the car review in the Dodge Co Gazette :).
I read Car and Driver and SIA - Special Interest Automobiles which is put out by Hemmings Motor News and covers old cars and muscle cars. SIA is good reading.

Whatever's in the barber shop or on the airline.

Audio Video Interiors - the media room/home theatre room is the current pet project in the works so I read this one alot!

Hot VWs and VW Trends (on the newstands) - No time to do any VW projects, but I like to know what is current, if and when I get around to wrenching on that Bug!

Victoria Secrets catalog - when my wife's not around!:D ;) :D

The only ones I subscribe to are Reader's Digest, Aviation History, and Diesel Progress. I'll read most anything (except those teen girl magazines *shudders*) if it's handed to me, though. :)

Although, again, I'll read them, I never had enough interest in the auto magazines to actually subscribe to one...

I'm a sucker for car magazines and must spend a fair amount every month on them. I usually read them cover to cover in a day or so.

Car: used to be greeat (15 years ago), now too generic; like most car mags it's written by kids.
Autocar: generally good weekly paper.
Evo: the odd interesting article, mainly laddish fantasies.
Thoroughbred and Classic Car: nice pictures and interesting ads.
911 and Porsche World: interesting esoteric stuff.
Classic and Sportscar: vaguely interesting articles about "newer" classics.
Mercedes Enthusiast: keeps getting better.
Motorsport: probably the best racing car magazine in the world; really mature journalism.
Intersection: an exercise in typography, but very promising writing.

I also intermitently buy Road & track and Car and Driver, I like the longer, more grown-up articles.

I have been subscribing to the following for many years:

Automobile
Car and Driver
Road and Track
Motor Trend
Popular Mechanics
European Car

I purchase Mercedes Enthusiast whenever I can find it.

I just subscribed to 'Benzo' magazine. Click on the link from the home page on this site. Whoever came up with the name 'Benzo' anyway?

I will probably let the European Car subscription expire. I am tired of reading about all of the VW and BMW stuff. Not nearly enough content on Mercedes.

There's another "Industrial history" type mag I get, can't remember the name now, i think it's a quarterly.
If I had more time to read I'd probably get my sub back to Cycle World too.
No Benz magazines, Benz sends me enough reading material for all of us!
I get several Sprite/Midget catalogs and freebie magazines (mostly ads, but hey, it's free stuff)
My wife gets Rolling Stone
Anyone here read "The Onion"?

I did not pick up on the fact that we were to include all mags, not just car magazines. I also read Pulp & Paper, Power and Industrial Technology News.
