Turbo magazine(rant)
That is the magazine that started this ------- obsession for me back in 95.I remember reading about a teal green dailey driven civic with a d16(that back then ran a 12 
) built by Pro Motion Motorsports in L.A and I knew what my quest in life would be.
Today I go to Barns&Noble and pic up a copy of that mag(I havent read one in like 4 years)and to my surprise that mag is now a carbon copy of Import Tuna
.That magazine used to be the best ------- magazine with the awsome and informative tech articles.And it used to be thick as ----.Now it looks like a leaflet.It seems like every mag you pick up now days is filled with drift and rice.....wheres the performance?
What mags do you guys read?

. My reading involves hybrids.jp and hmt. Turbo was the best and always had some good write ups.

Dsport.. but then again i dont pay for it.
they seem to have less ads in that mag though. they just did an article about a z6 hatchie that runs i think 10s..
but ya, magazines anymore are just ads with articles about "how to tune your skyline" but they left off.. The skyline you will never own

Sport Compact Car is my mag, but they're devoting more and more space to rallying, which is cool, i'm just not interested in it. I think the tech articles are really good; as they deal with not just turbocharging your car but all performance aspects of the car in general. Other than the rally thing I haven't noticed a general decline in the quality of their articles, that plus I give them props for still using flat black spraypaint on their project cars 
Plus their performance testing is the best from any magazine, period.
