Top 10 Car Magazines

[Preetham Gowda]

One of the many ways to use our smartphones or tablets is as a reader, and with almost every major newspaper, book, or magazine available as a digital download at a fraction of the paper version, it just makes a lot of sense to save the trees and read on our device.  Our society is constantly on the go and we are just as constantly taking out our device to grab some quick messages or read a few pages of a good book or magazine.  The days of folding your newspaper under your arm as you get on or off a bus or the subway are but a faint vision of yesteryear.  Now we can slide our smartphone in and out of our pocket with ease and just as easily read it in a crowded bus without having to hold up a paper “product” and always bumping into somebody. Today we will go through the Top 10 Automotive magazines that give their readers the most up-to-date information and developments in new automotive technology, restoring classic cars, how to supe-up a hot rod, road testing, repairing vehicles, and even parts magazines – all with one destination in mind – keeping their readers informed on what interests them most…Automobiles.   10.Classic Cars Classic Cars is Britain’s longest-established classic car magazine that defined the classic car 40 years ago and still does today.  Each month they bring the most in-depth coverage on exciting cars from the past, and the visionary people behind them, as well as the latest coverage of news events, marketing trends, and buying advice. GRAB IT HERE on Google Play.   9. 4-Wheel & Off-Road Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine is the world’s largest truck enthusiast magazine and is the best way to stay connected with the light-truck off-road market.  Features real modifications done to 4-wheel drive trucks to enhance their performance, as well as a showcase for new products and evaluations.  If you love off-road driving or racing, or simply like to modify your truck for highway use, then this is the magazine for you. GRAB IT HERE on Google Play.   8.

Popular Hot Rodding Popular Hot Rodding can be misleading – when we hear the words “hot rod,” we think of the cars from the 30’s and 40’s turned into street rods, however, this magazine is for every guy or gal that loved the vintage American muscle and performance cars and enjoys restoring them.  In-depth technical articles about proper maintenance of your vehicle and how to build your own dream car.  Product reviews, news and events – it’s all here.
