People like to think that the old days were so much better than what we are living today. Sometimes it is true though.
I bought my Duster in early 2007 and Randy Bolig was the Editor of Mopar Muscle at that time. He seemed like a regular guy with regular goals. The magazine was my first foray into car magazines, followed by Mopar Action.
The next guy, Johnny Hunkins seemed like a decent guy too. I met him in Van Nuys one year at the Spring Fling. The magazine was a bit different but still worth reading.
When they dumped Hunkins, they appeared to make a few other changes. The new Editor was a bit standoffish. The tech was okay in some cases but flat out incorrect in other cases. I got tired of seeing AMD articles on metal replacement in every issue. Most old cars do need metal replacement but the limited space of a magazine don't allow for a proper "how-to" to make a successful repair. They then added monthly GRAVEYARD CARZ articles on the same stuff they had already shown on TV. Out of respect for the past, I kept subscribing even though it was like keeping a girlfriend after she developed a bunch of unsavory habits.
