I used to read Road & Track, Car and Driver, and Automobile from cover to cover as soon as I could after they arrived in the mail. I dropped the Automobile subscription many years ago, and I try to catch up on my other magazine reading, almost more out of a sense of duty than enjoyment these days. Way too much time spent on exotics I will never own, and SUVs and trucks I have no interest in. Heck there aren't even that many new cars I am interested in. Racing news and coverage is readily available via cable/streaming and online.
I spend a lot of time here and on Jalopnik and Oppositelock (Jalopnik subforum), as well as Bring a Trailer.
I miss Sports and Exotic other than that about the only thing magazines offer that I can't get online is the in depth numbers and stats, in depth reviews. The online stuff is more driving impressions than road tests, but has the added participation of all of us and real world perspectives.
Anyway, always bad to see an automotive resource go, but never thought Automobile had the appeal of it's senior magazine brethren.
