Feedback On Hemming's Muscle Machines Magazine

I was going to direct this just at 180 Out, but I'm curious about what
others think too. Please chime in.

- How many of you are now picking up Hemming's Muscle Machine
magazine?

- How many think it's the best auto magazine on the rack?

Way too expensive with very little information for what I need. I
need nuts and bolts kind of stuff. Theirs is more a documentary of the
muscle car era.

Great glossies of various muscle cars (all makes and models subject to
coverage), and plenty of information on history, interviews,
valuations based upon auction (tells what was asked, what average
going is, and what it went for, etc).

But I need a magazine which helps with projects, etc. I get far more
out of the Hemmings Mustang Tech guides. The tech guide is a bit on
the pricey side, but there are no ads to sponsor it.

I also get far more out of "Mustang & Fords", and "Mustang Monthly".

With a subscription, it's a buck an issue. Can't get much cheaper
than that when they're paying the postage.

This is true. It's definately not a how-to magazine.

I got it from a Hemmings ad they sent me and the sub ran me something
like $47. While the photos are nice to look at, and they bring back
fond memories of my youth and glory days, I found I was better off
with the other two for what I am doing with my car. If, I had extra
funds, then I wouldn't mind having a subscription to it as well.

Since I'm into learning about different makes/models it has become the
mag that I pretty much read from cover to cover. At first I was upset
about Hemmings replacing their Rods and Performance magazine with
Muscle Machines but being that it is based solely on American cars it
stands out against other mags. They've all been excellent so far.

no argument about the quality or coverage, but definitely not a
"projects" type.... though you could get some ideas from what they
show.
