      Which magazine?

      Silly hypothetical:



      Your car is going to be featured in a magazine. Which one would mean the most to you?

      for me its PHR, I subscribe to Hot Rod and Super Chevy as well as PHR, but I just like the articles in PHR more, I like the layout of the magazine and the cars they choose, dont get me wrong Super Chevy has some great cars as well, so I think it would be a close second, but Hot Rod wont be getting a renewal from me, I prefer reading about Project G/28 and the body work, not the new challenger I can read about anyplace on the interweb... Just my opinion

      My faves on your list are PHR & Hot Rod but, I choose Hot Rod because I've been reading Hot Rod since I was a kid reading my dad’s HR mags.

      Honestly, I'd be honored to be featured in any of them.

      I like PHR best and not just because Steve hangs here but because I think the articles/pics are most in-line with my interests. But I have to say it would be cool to be in HR just from a nostalgic perspective.

      i think PHR features the nicest cars, and were mine to be considered for that mag, it'd put me in some pretty elite company.

      Would have to say Hot Rod...

      ...because it's the original and everyone knows about Hot Rod magazine.

      That being said,it is quite an honor to be featured in any national publication.

      PHR- would be an honor to be in that mag at any level. I also like Car Craft's motto: "Real, Loud, Fast" which fits my rig as well. Hot Rod has lost its lustre IMO.

      I'd say that PHR is the one that I look forward to the most each month. I also get Street Rodder, Hot Rod and Classic Truck.

      Getting into any of them would be fantastic ... but I probably identify with PHR the most.

      Hot Rod for me, out of nostalgia.
      The difference between an environmentalist and a developer is that a developer wants to build a house in the woods, an environmentalist already has one.

      My Firebird has been a cover car and featured in PHR and had a couple very nice 2 page pics in HOT ROD. That by itself is more than I'd have ever thought possible for a garage built car I painted in my dirt driveway! HOT ROD was the first magazine I bought when I was a 10 Y/O kid. PHR is the magazine I've always got (even through those weird times) and identify with the most over the years.

      Since the context is "your car is going to be featured in a magazine" the one I'd like to see it featured in would be Grassroots Motorsports. I bought it on the news stands. Then after joining NASA recieved my yearly subscriptions as a part of membership. It's a good mag and more about cars that are driven on tracks. Hopefully I'll get to a few more events this year with NASA and just maybe I'll be "spotted".

      SCCA's mag, Sports Car's, FastTrack is the rules and regulations, plus the protests, section ... I hope my car isn't featured in that part of the magazine.

      I'd be happy with any feature of course but to be specific to the above list...I would have to say PHR first and CC second. PHR just seems to be more in line with my interests I suppose. The articles are great as well as the DIY tips and they really emphasize the latest and greatest in the PT scene.

      PHR first, Super chevy second. Carcraft or CHP third, I can't decide.

      Mostly it's about the photographer. PHR has the best photography. My car needs all the help it can get! lol.

      PHR for me. But as Steve said I'm in there all the time. But I have always been a fan, and Johnny is great to work with.

      PHR would mean the most to me.... it just fits with my car and my interests. Its "the" magazine when it comes to the PT world in my opinion. The others are great too.

      But...my enthusiasm for Super Chevy is gonna go up real soon
