After the "rebirth" of Car Craft, that magazine has really gone downhill. I like the new Hot Rod, Primedia has done a nice job with it... but it's too bad about Car Craft because in today's market, the magazines are REALLY hurting. As a whole, advertising and circulation percentages have fallen double digits in the past two years.
Somebody from Primedia needs to go pick up an issue of Racer X. It's a motocross lifestyle magazine and I think is the best magazine out there period. I'd love to see an automotive magazine go that direction. I want tech articles, I want features, I want new products... but I also want interviews, human interest stories and stuff from behind the scenes. Stuff like that new motor that Crower has invented and his life story, a review of the movie 'World's Fastest Indian', etc, etc.
So there you have it, I bitched about Car Craft but I also offered constructive criticism.
