I don't but will in the spring when the Cadimino and 914 are on the road. Ian dropped off two issues (comes out quarterly); interesting. Full page editorials by Jay Leno and Wayne Carini, and diverse coverage of all motorsports.
Mods: Please delete this if I'm stepping on toes here, just want to share car info.

I do, and it's a very good mag, IMO. There are lots of refugees from other car mags working there, and they do great feature stories and historical stuff, plus they have some auction/value content, as well.

I do. Good, quick reads, although I don't save them like I do GRM and CMS.

I do and agree that it is a reasonable bathroom reader. I do notice however, that it goes largely unread by the time the next one arrives because having spent so much time with the GRM crew, I find most other venues to be "over-pasteurized" and devoid of flavor. If that makes sense to anyone.
The current promo is that you also get one year access to MotorTrend TV on YouTube. E36 M3load of content but about the only one that I am going to consume is Roadkill.
Do any of you pay extra to be a part of the "Hagerty Driver Club" which is why you get the magazine? Just wondering as my Brother inlaw gets the magazine and the free subscription to Motortrend but for some reason I don't, the only thing I can think of is that I have been insured with them for 3 or 4 years now and he joined up in the past two so maybe new policies are getting this automatically.

Not that I am aware of. One long tem premium for the GB and one new one for the Molvo. Never really looked at the itemized bill?!

Yep, I just looked at my bill, and it looks like I'm paying $45 for Hagerty Drivers Club. I'll keep doing it, as I like the mag, and a couple of years ago it got me a super-cheap track day at M1 Concourse, so hopefully there's more of that kind of thing.
Big perk of drivers club is free roadside assistance and towing.
I get the magazine and agree it's a good read.
The magazine is great! It's a great compliment to my GRM and CM subscription. I've really enjoyed the in depth articles on obscure Motorsports I never even knew of.
The other thing the drivers club gets you is a discount to track night events, which more than paid for my membership.

I get the magazine. It's interesting with occasionally good articles. I also get a free subscription to the Motor Trend streaming site.
I get it from a friend that insures his TR6 through them. I think it's an excellent publication.
In reply to 914Driver :
yes - great mag; great columns. I have several cars with Hagerty.

The Hagerty magazine is helmed by Larry Webster (former R&T) and features a lot of very good people like Aaron Robinson doing amazing work with little to no budget restraints. These guys have closed more California highways than OJ. It's a cool mag produced by quality people.
I get it as well, really good, latest issue very good
