A buddy of mine did an engine build up for Hot Rod a few years ago. In it he used some really odd parts that I had never seen him even recommend before. I asked him why? His answer was that even though he didn't want to use the parts, the magazine made him use them because the suppliers were big advertisers. Yes, the mags are no more than catalogs.

I let all my car mag subscriptions expire years ago.

Last time I flew to Vegas I bought a Hot Rod at the airport before I went to my gate. It was full of LS motor stuff. I didn't really mind because I have an LS-1 in my Goat.
