Downsizing and sadly the time has come to part with several cubic feet of car magazines collected (hoarded) over the years. My wife has volunteered to hoist them all into the recycling dumpster but that hurts me to my car nut soul. Yeah there’s a bunch of mags like these on eBay but other than Road and Track 2011, I have no complete years. Thought I did for R&T 2002 but an Automobile mag ringer snuck in and ruined that. And selling magazines on eBay is a pain in the ass.
So my holiday gift to lucky and loyal blog readers is one shot at claiming some or all of these precious historical publications for your archives. In all seriousness, thumbing through these and being reminded of the “Cars to Wait for in 2003!” and such is kind of fun. I’m just out of room and only keeping 20 years of Car and Driver (my wife does not yet know that, between us please?). So email me if you want one or more (or all!) of these batches, and I’ll send them free of charge. Small price to pay for fellow car lovers, and eases my mind that they’re not getting thrown out. (Was thinking of sending e-gift cards to all the readers who signed up to follow this blog, but figured you’d all just buy car magazines with the money anyway.) If no takers turning them over to the wife 12/9.

Batch 6 – There is NOOOO Batch 6! (A little Monty Python humor.)
Batch 7 – Automobile. All of 2015. All of 2016 and 2017 less December (did they print one? Hmmm.) December 2014. Must have started subscription then.
Batch 8 – Roundel (BMW Car Club) Magazines from 2011 (when I owned a nice little convertible 330i!)
Remember any issues back around 1997-98 (or later?)
that ran a full report on the (then) newly introduced
Porsche Boxster? Boxster was introduced in the U.S.
in 1997. Earlier in GD.
Love to have them if available!
THX!
Hey Doug. Sorry I missed this. You can usually find those on eBay for not too much. Same with original dealer literature. Enjoying the Boxster?
