I will Never, Never subscribe to "Vette" Magazine ever ! When I decided to let my subscription laps they called and threatened to turn my file over to a collection service for collection. I pointed out I had paid in full, and I Did Not want it any longer. Well they got me to fork over $99.00 and the magazine never resumed. So in essence stole $99 bucks from me. I turn it over to my CC for action, but the credit card company tried but in the end said they couldn't get them to respond, and they couldn't spend anymore time fighting with them. I hope the place burns to the ground. Bunch of ripoffs !

I had a similar problem with BuckMasters.

Thanks for the heads up about this one, I was thinking of getting it.

I got sucked in by them, but before she hung up on me, I said " I'll make sure this isn't the last time this incident is told. And you can bank on it! "

I had no such problems with Vette, I let mine expire a couple months ago. Good mag, probably your best bet. But pricey compared to $5-$10 a year for more mainstream car mags like Motortend and C&D... I guess all the Corvette specific mags are high though

For a while I subscribed to Vette and Corvette Magazine. IMO, Corvette Magazine is a much better publication.

Since being on here, I haven't subscribed to one Corvette magazine. I do get the other five enthusiast magazines, however. But for concentrated C5 coverage, you can't beat the Corvette Forum.

After many years of buying many of them off the rack, the only one I subscribe to is Corvette Magazine. Mostly late-model stuff and very professionally(SP?) written. Lots of historical articles, feature cars, etc. Heavy bond, glossy paper, basically like a text book, well worth keeping and collecting!!

Class is as class does! No BS as to subscriptions, etc. It's there when it is supposed to be and I totally enjoy that!!!

I currently have an IPad subscription to Vette magazine. Of course, it is much cheaper to get on the IPad. Actually, all of my car magazine subscriptions are on the IPad. Normally, the subscription price is about 1/2 or less compared to the paper copies.

But, I'll be honest, all of the Corvette specific magazines are pretty boring and tech articles are useless when compared to this forum. I now prefer magazines such as Octane, Evo and Vintage Motorsports which are much more entertaining.

Maybe you're getting killain's issues.

Anyway, in case anyone hasn't mentioned it yet, Corvette Magazine has been my choice.
