RIP Sport Compact Car
 

:sadwavey:

I never read it.

I can honestly say I never purchased a single car magazine ever, unless you count the stack of "SportsCar" magazines that I get through the SCCA.

I think magazines in general are going to a more online platform as time goes on. Although I hope they still print some magazines so I have something to read when I'm at the dentist.

Saw this too - the last issue I bought was so thin and had little to no content beyond the advertisements, won't cry to see it go.

Sorry to see it go,,, Ihavent bought in in about a year but I have about 200 issues at home,,, This was the read hardcore do it yourself or at least learn about the nitty gritty mag out there, most of this mag was focused on go and just alil on show,,,

:tear:

yah i think modified is on its way out also. i notice like hte last 6 issues, the magazine has been very thin, compared to last year. :(

Wow... bit surprised since it does have lots of ads in it. Too much actually. I suppose the sponsors had to choose and mainstreams like C&D, R&T etc got the priorities. Too bad. Actually lots of publications and TV stations are also facing dire financial problems thanks to lack of ad sponsors.

not sorry to see it go. in my opinion it turned to crap a long time ago.

^+1 What ever happen to Turbo? or SS or Modified. Things going down in the import craz?

lots of mags in general going down now

damn 115 people... jesus.

First thing that goes is the advertising.

im going to school for advertising :( .

mostly print.(billboards/posters/logo/magazines) etc.

i hope the economy is on the rise in 3 years or else im owned.

dont worry....if you dont buy the lotus, you'll be fine :)

all seriousness, the economy should be back to a more consistent stability, better then how it is now thats for sure*tap tap*, more job oppurtunity and lesser # in unemployment.. woot!

i got laid off 2 weeks agi, i sorta like it for the time being LOLS!:lol:

As long as Hospitals are in business, so am I, Cardinal Health.

More job opportunity by taking money way from the people that work hard to make 6 figures like me. Bastard and his spread the wealth crap.

On the topic note does kinda suck its disappearing i buy all the car mags. They give me stuff to read while im here in iraq.

The list of 115 people is BS. One of the guys on that list works with me, and has never done anything with SCC... Autoblog made it up. Read the list, do you think Rhys, Rod and Steve Millen just got cut from SCC. :lol:

Is the December issue the last issue that they're producing? I heard on autoblog.com that they were going out of business.

is that the car mag you worked for jason?

No. I work for Haymarket, in my office we do SportsCar, Racer, IndyCar, FJ Cruiser etc.

definitely not the best mag out there... so not gunna miss this one

Sorry to see any car magazine dealing with our niche of the automotive market, even tangentially, to be going belly up.

:sadwavey:

Yeah, Modified was the last one I looked at (couple months ago) and it was really thin. It had one main feature, two small articles then the usual small, regular stuff. Modified was usually one of the thicker tuner mags. One bathroom trip and I had the whole thing read.
