Magazine subscription for a sports car enthusiast - any other help would be appreciated - Bday gift?

Question

HI. My husband's birthday is coming up. He's a sports car freak. What magazine subscription would be the best for him? He's mostly into speed & performance. Not so much vintage cars.

He's REALLY hard to shop for because he buys everything he wants at the drop of a dime. Any clue what else to get him?

I already bought him time at the track to race which was fun but I can't repeat the gift. I bought him some weird tuner thing he wanted last year. He has a Trans Am & has spent about $10,000 on modifications in the last 6 months. How can I compete with THAT?

I think he would like the magazine subscription though so can you tell me which one is the best?

Answer 1

As long long as he lets you drive the car every now and then, why compete. My wife has been very understanding of the other "woman", which for me is racing. I make sure she is part of my racing program.

A couple of magazines he might like are Car and Driver or Autoweek. If he is into a specific type of racing, a magazine that specializes in that( such as Speedway Illustrated for stock cars ) would be a choice as well.

Answer 2

'Car and Driver' and 'Motor Trend' are sports car mags but usually have new car stuff too....

Since he has a Trans/Am, 'Hot Rod' or 'Car Craft' magazines feature alot of those.

Also, there are 'Pontiac' only magazines too.

Try going to a book store. They usually carry ALOT of magazines. You can get some ideas there and write down there websites to order them.
