I just got my first issue of Hemmings' Motor News. I'd been getting their Classic Car, glossy magazine that highlighted noteworthy classics in color and expansive words. I enjoyed and appreciated reading about how the cars were maintained, restored and driven as well as meeting their owners and sharing their enjoyment and appreciation.
I guess the glossy mag wasn't doing well, so they rolled it into the Motor News, which essentially is a newsprint rag of tiny classified-ads for cars their well-off owners want to sell. But I'm not in the market for a classic car. I hardly can afford the magazines. So I don't need my nose rubbed in the ads for six-figure Sunbeam Tigers like the one I paid a grand for 50 years ago, or the '62 Impala I paid $350 for that now commands a higher price than the new car I bought a decade ago.
So I'm going to ask them to cancel and send me the refund they offered when they shut down the mag I actually chose to read. And when I win the lottery, I'll subscribe while looking for a new toy.
Not that I play the lottery.
