we cant all throw 30 grand at our cars at a drop of a hat to achieve the upgrades/mods most mags feature in them.
cmon the guy who reads the mag is a bluecollar worker doing 40-60 hour weeks and does his cruizing on the weekends with limited money to spend on his ride.
Id say get back to basic test/tune ups and realworld hotrodding ideas.
Yes i know the ads pay the bills but so do the people that would buy the mag if it wasnt chock full of ads.
I myself used to subscribe to just about all the hotrodding mags but just got fed up with all the ads.
i now only read street thunder magazine.
less ads ,real world rides,more substance and less fluff

Uh, you are wrong.. in fact your are so far wrong that you arn't even in the ballpark..
You say 75% ads? lol.. do you even read PHR? I just ran a check and for the November issue we are somewhere just south of 30% adds. That means we have 90 pages of edit for every 30 pages of ads.
Sorta hard to buy the rest of what you're selling when you are so far off on you opening thought.
Oh, and of those ads most are "grouped in the back of the book".. so again I ask if you actually read PHR?
Anyways, thanks for the feedback
