Ya it's unfortunate, I kinda have to laugh because my buddy has been building a '98 Ranger for years now with the dream of being on the cover of minitruckin'...there goes that plan, hopefully he doesn't give up on the build because it's going to be an awesome truck when it's done.
On the same topic of magazines dying, my girlfriend had a subscription to Rolling Stone for a while, she hasn't paid for it in over 2 years now, and ever since we've moved into our house together they now send ME a copy, so we're getting 2 copies of Rolling Stone every other week for nothing, and they usually go in the trash, such a waste.
