    To Brian Brennan re editorial "The Times They are A-Changin"

    As a Baby Boomer, the Street Rodder "new look" (May 2013) is frustrating. The small font is unreadable. The feature pictures are too small to appreciate and the caption clusters are distracting. I've been buying Street Rodder since my return from Vietnam in 1972. You have destroyed a previously excellent magazine. The Times They are A-Changin' are for the worst. It's a sad day. <?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

    And besides, if you drop a magazine in the crapper, you are out a buck or two, what happens when you drop your I-whatever

    Street Rodder lost it years ago. At one time it was a good rag to read but when they tried to look like the Rodders Journal and began adding more late model features that was it for me. Haven't looked at one in a number of years.

    Heck, I gotta take mine off to read small print. :rolleyes:
     
  14. I realize that advertisers pay the bills, but when it gets to be 80% ads and 20% real content, I can't bring myself to purchase it.

    I gave up on Street Rodder magazine , I didn't renew when it was due.
    They sent five copys after renew was due talk about messed up..LOL
     
  16. no it is not "messed up", it is a marketing plan to try and keep you interested and hoping you will re up your subscription.
     
  17. I noticed the last time Brian was on the Hamb was over a year ago. HRP

    Who gives a shit about Street Rodder?
     
  20. I got a complimentary beach towel when I renewed my Hot Rod mag subscription .... its about 12 inches wide and a whooping 14 inches long ..... how can they afford to do that?
     
  21. About 4 years ago, I got a cheap 3 year subscription, after the first year I started getting renewal notices, sounds like a scam to me. I let it die, anyone want some unread Street Rodders? LOL
