    Don't feel bad,I'm sure they'll still continue to use chevy project cars,LS1 buildups,and wet their pants everytime GM puts "SS" on anything.I've started getting Mustangs & Fords so I can read about the old stuff I actually give:2cents: about.

    I did the same thing and now the magazine has totally turned around, Freiburger's back, and they're back to doing good articles again.
    I dig the new look of the mag too.

    Derrick, you have any ins with the folks at that magazine?

    RadMav; I feel as you do...I won't be renewing the Car Craft. They just said they are revamping the mag, and giving it more balance...this in an issue full of GM articles and feature cars. Some things never change.

    I was hoping that it might return to the way it was when freiburger (sp) was at the helm the 1st time around,(at least it was entertaining then if nothing else)

    I think I have about 2 or 3 more issues to find out if they will turn it around ;)

    I am with Chris....only got a few more issues coming and I doubt that I will renew mine. There is only so much Chevy Craft I can take.
