when you stock goes from over 7 bucks 18 months ago to close at 24 cents, yah; it's inevitable.

I liked reading Sport Compact Car. The last issue I bought was from over the summer when they compared a modded Evo IX with a stock Viper SRT10. RIP, good magazine.

I am sad they are gone, but I hadn't read it in a while. I don't really know why, I just quit buying it.

I like Dave Coleman, but the ad content to written word ratio had gotten too low. maybe that's why I'd quit buying it, it no longer seemed like I got my money's worth.

Wouldn't it be a good thing with less ads? Or do you mean there were more ads than quality articles?

It seemed that there were way too many ads for the amount of articles.
