Stop the Presses! GM suspending publication of Corvette Quarterly magazine?
Corvette Quarterly, General Motors' official publication all about Chevrolet's iconic sportscar, is apparently going through some major changes. According to a posting at the top of the magazine's web site, the publisher will not be printing spring or summer editions. The official quote:
Because we value the readers of Corvette Quarterly, we are taking some time to make Corvette Quarterly the best source of Corvette news available. As part of this process, we will not publish our spring and summer issues for 2009. But please check the website often to find the latest news on Corvette and information on the magazine.
Thank you! Your Corvette Quarterly Team

I guess that was meant to be funny ^^^^^^
Not a shock, many print publication are closing or having difficulties. These can be managed much cheaper online... like many of us do. I do like my bathroom magazines, a man needs his quiet time.

Get a smartphone like the G1 or iPhone. then you can have quiet time anywhere. Just don't drop the phone in the toilet.

Just try not to double task or you will end up with a pooPhone.

I have had 2 iPhones, of course. Using 3G now, still not the same as a mag on the can ;)

Digital press is the wave of the future. With computers becoming more and more apart of our life and people wanting the most latest news constantly... the answer is digital newspaper. Although, I enjoy having my bathroom readings because I can afford to get poo water on a $2 magazine, I can't afford to get poo water on a $200 smartfone.

My favorite automotive magazine by a mile! I could stare at the high-gloss pictures all day long.

If anything this is just another example of how many things and people a bankrupt GM can affect.
As crazy as too big to fail sounds, there is definitely some merit to those kind of statements

Better than GM telling you don't have a job! My two good friends are no longer GM designers as of this morning (part of the 1600 white collar staff cuts)!!

After selling some of my ENRON stock (at its high) in late 2000, to buy a brand new '01 Vette, I was a little miffed that GM never offered me a subscription to Corvette Quarterly (not even for a price!). I have been buying new Corvettes since 1966 (back when the gave you a "monthly" Corvette magazine, with NO advertising - at least not initially).
On the other hand, the 2001 turned out to be one of the poorest designed Corvettes I've ever owned -- from the stand point of reliability. Yes, it got 33 mpg on long trips -- Yes, it topped out (for me) at 169 MPH. But the stealerships love to gouge the crap out of you for the numerous problems.
Maybe I should be glad I didn't waste my time reading the Quarterly.
