My strongest thoughts are for the people who worked there. They've been thrown into chaos. At a minimum, they'll be reassigned to a new book. At worst...they're on their ass.
As for my subscription money....keep it. Consider it a tiny token contribution to a group of people who improved the quality of my Hotrodding experience. May you all go on to bigger things and our paths will cross again.

Bret,
Very well said. I was fortunate enough to be on staff when it was Petersen Publishing and all was well. I had the time of my life when there were budgets and not so many Chiefs taking a slice of the pie. Sadly, the mag I was on also got the ax but the PHR chop is odd. I doubt Hot Rod will cover that segment of the market. Everything started to go to Hell after Petersen sold the company.
