And FWIW, I don't want to see any political, religious, pro-gun or anti-abortion ads in a car magazine ! Didn't the Green Brick have a "Nuke the Unborn Gay Whales" bumper sticker? Lol One of their best issues was the recalled one with Steve Juliano and the story of how he "stole" the Rapid Transit cars. There was also the article on the nitrous rental neon, which they had to appologize for. I think Tony Defeo's 12.99 for $1299 piece was in HP Mopar? Mopar Muscle was always my least favorite, good for only the photos - they had someone ghost writing the tech articles who didn't know a torque wrench from a thermostat. One of the contributors was on here years ago and whatever I said, it really got under his skin. I think it was Dulcich.

Thinking about putting an advertisement in Mopar Action, but would like to know who all still buys/reads Mopar Action before investing money into the ad. I have every issue and the HP Mopar issues before the split.

It’s April 2001. There’s a silver Crossfire on the cover. Thanks, I'll go through my past issues to see if I have that one.

I subscribed on and off for alot of years. But the latest I had...the issues kept coming to my residence all torn up, or folded badly in half...so after last issue, that was time to give it up for good. No more room for mags anyway, I have too many as it is.

I LOVE the magazine. I've been a subscriber since the early 2000s. I work on my cars, I don't farm out everything. The dorks that pay others to fix their cars may not read car magazines but guys like me read them. Online forums are great but to me, nothing replaces the tactile feeling of a magazine with all sorts of info right in your hands.
Agree with this 100%. I love having the info at hand, and I enjoy re-reading them at times. Same reason I subscribe to Hemmings instead of solely relying on online classifieds, Ebay, etc.

Ma and MCG subscriber (MCG longer). I only subscribe to MA for Ehrenberg's tech articles. The rest of it is like reading articles written by Beavis and Butthead. So I tend to thumb through it more quickly. MCG I read every page.

Do you guys like Chrysler Power? I’m not sure if it’s still sold in stores?

I like the spirit of Chrysler Power but when I see feature cars with bad bodywork and black engine bays, it smacks of a Harbor Freight-esque magazine.

I've been buying and reading Mopar Action since the early 1990s. E-berg's articles are the best. Get a subscription. Even with the move to Nashville, they still have good customer service.

I used to subscribe to both Mopar Muscle and Mopar Action. Let them both lapse a few years ago. The tech articles had gotten boring and not very useful in my opinion. Same w/ Hot Rod and Car Craft. I always liked Car Craft the most, but both became garbage eventually.

Do you guys like Chrysler Power? I’m not sure if it’s still sold in stores? I don't think I've seen it anywhere but Barnes & Noble. I was surprised to see Mopar Action at County Market, a grocery chain in the midwest. Hell, I was surprised to see them still selling magazines

Do you guys like Chrysler Power? I’m not sure if it’s still sold in stores? Our local WinCo has carried it, but we don't go in there often. Was glad to see Roland at Spring Fling a few years ago, though. We go WAY back...

MA subscriber since forever. MCG too, for the few articles per year that are informative. I like books, magazines & manuals: portable reading, y'know,,, When I finally pitch/donate/start a fire with my million tons of saved magazines, the ones I'll keep are MA & some HR that have good tech in them. Same here, as long as Ehrenberg keeps coming up with interesting tech or has a pulse! I think I bought the first issue in maybe 1989. Long live Mopar Action!
