Athlon Outdoors (the company that publishes Mopar Action) was purchased by Bleecker Street Publications. "Athlon Outdoors Portfolio Acquired by Bleecker Street Publications" https://bleeckerstreetpublications....cquired-by-bleecker-street-publications/Here's an excerpt from the press release: The final three (3) issues of print magazines under the previous Athlon Outdoors brand have all gone to print, which marks the end of the print business model. Working with the experienced quality content producers that made Athlon a household name, Bleecker Street Publications will provide the same great content the readership has come to expect in an expanding digital format.

Bought the February 2024 edition of Mopar Action today on the newsstand for about 1/3 the cost of a yearly subscription, which included two mail in cards to acquire a yearly subscription, which according to this thread will never happen. I did learn something in a brief scan of the magazine today. Rick mentions mopar engineers found another reason to justify positive caster. If one suffers a separated tie rod while driving, the unrestrained wheel will track fairly straight, and the other wheel will retain enough control to likely steer the vehicle to a stop.. Having driven over 3+ million miles without a TR failure, I will have to take his word for it.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I’m not going to harass anyone about subscriptions. I love those guy’s work. I’m just curious, will they be coming back with a digital format? I would love to know about it if they do.

I've been away from the Mopar forums since end of December -- my house caught on fire, no injuries, car saved ... house being rebuilt by end of 2024 -- and been wondering WHY my forwarding address mail has become less and less... from magazine subscriptions, etc... I called Athlon today about my Mopar Action subscription and missing issues... they told me Mopar Action is no longer produced since their last February 2024 issue... gave no reason why the ending of publication (..."sudden" ) or IF they will begin again. Mopar Action was by far the BEST of all the Mopar magazines... I really enjoyed reading it and have saved all past issues. I typically re-subscribe for two years or longest available. I am saddened by the departure of MA and hope/wish they will return... even if its in digital format.... but I like the paper issues. I've told my wife to get me another casket and put all my magazines in it when I pass away. Or Else... I'd gladly donate them to a worthy new reader... maybe a charity donation or similar (military included).... I can't throw them away... too valuable ... many many past years of magazines... back to the sixties. Mopar or No Car!
Its been fun reading Cliff's and Richard's articles, editorials, for so many past years, etc... They did their job with a passion!... and with FUN! I've met them both... cool guys! The BEST Mopar writers! Wish they would've published 12 issues a year!
PS: I also contacted Mopar Collector's Guide... they mail in 3rd Class... no forwarding mail... but they did sign me up for digital so that I can re-capture the missing recent issues.

I occasionally watch a Youtuber named Craig Lieberman. He is about 55 years old. He designed all the cars for the first Fast and Furious Movie. His personal past includes owning and racing V8 muscle cars with lots of street drag racing- old school style on a vacant road without spectators lining both sides like today. Any way he said the mid 2000s was a turning point for aftermarket manufacturers of parts as to who would receive free products- Magazines were still a thing but cable TV car build shows were in full force and internet websites was the latest interrupter. Print media needs people buying their magazines but they also need heavy sponsorship from the aftermarket companies. In the 90s EVERY OTHER page of the 2 most popular muscle car magazines had an advertisement. I wonder if the aftermarket no longer delivering freight loads of donated products to print magazines is a big factor with that magazines demise.
Keep old mopars alive.
