Agree. Print is nice to have in some cases.

I didn't renew my subscription this year, after getting Honda Tuning since 2003.... I loved Sport Compact Car during 2001-2005.

Internet kills another thing.

Print circulation numbers (across most industries) have been on a steady decline for many years. The tuner mags unfortunately fell into this grouping. The closing was actually announced back in late May (I believe). Sad to see them go, but when you have successful free blog type websites (Stickydiljoe, Jon Sibal's blog, Jalopnik, etc.) it's hard to keep circulation numbers up. Heck, even members on sites like our own s2ki provide a more in depth view of a build than Honda Tuning. It was only a matter of time.

i was thinking i think i will really miss it but the more i think about it now, it's the same stuff in the same written sequence all the time and it starts to sound or read all the same. I think ill miss the opportunity to buy one then actually miss it altogether.

I get all my mags digital. Less clutter. And the digital adds some extra content than print sometimes

How many different ways can you do an engine swap for a honda product? How many times will you have to read about these swaps before it gets old.

^This. I picked up an issue a few months ago for shits and giggles and it featured a stanced out Fit and a couple of race-prepped DC2's. I was like "meh".
