Reader's may not be able to do it - but they sure like reading about it! Also, readership doesn't pay for a magazine's publication cost; advertisers do. Most magazines would go under in a heartbeat if the readership was their sole source of support.
I've been in magazine publishing for 19-years, and have counted the cost on this venture. Instead, I've decided to start an aftermarket business for HHR's right now. The magazine may come later...

Your not even slightly interested? I have a subscription to Car & Driver knowing I can't afford like 1/2 the cars in it. Same with Hot Rod, I don't own a classic ride but I still like to read about them. I enjoy reading, especialy about subject matter I like. I could care less if the cars are unattainable or I can't do something to mine, because I love cars. Not to mention you get to see the beauty of the vehicles themselves.

Don't think I'll be buying one anytime soon - but it was a great read!

Wow, I never though I would see a anti-car magazine car guy. 
Weird but cool.

I really don't know how old you are, but all of these wonderful big block cars started out as econo models for the every day Joe. Only through modification and experimenting did all of these muscle car models come about. These cars are only popular today because of my age group keeping them alive and willing to pay the money to have one and or build one.The big blocks didn't really become consumer ordered in these cars until late 1964 and 65 and most of these models were around 3-4 years before that happened. Will I be able to do most things in the magazine, most likely not, but I still can read about them, and pick and choose what ideas I like. That's the whole thing , when you put collective car minds together, anything can happen.
