    The last couple of issues of Hot Rod Magazine have been wrapped with a sleeve that said, sort of, that the magazine will be replaced or supplanted by online programming and four semi-annual issues suitable for coffee table duty. Very vague about whether or not the monthly issues will go away. Schmucks. That will mark the end of my 20+ year sub if they do.

      I was also a 30 year subscriber to both MT and Hot Rod. John Lieberman did me in on MT. He is so condescending to the fan base that does not buy into the EV only lie. Hot Rod electrified the '57, then Frieburger left, the writing was on the wall. It was clear which direction another great pillar of our culture was going.

    Cars done Overhaulin’ style are hard and a little over the top. Cars like a 65 Mustang are simple as ever!! There’s loads of room and the interiors are dead simple. I like doing 67-87 C10 or K10s. A few K20s and build my own collection. It’s really easy to strip the truck down, I have two frames for the box and the cab and the rest of the panels are shipped individually to the body shop. I have a chosen shop so I get in easy. I commit to 4 trucks a year minimum, so it’s like I have my own slot. The bodywork always goes back to factory. The paint may not, there are colour changes if the truck isn’t totally numbers matching. Some are Frankentruck from spare parts and the VIN in the cab is the vin for the vehicle. The rust,,,,,, 😂😂😂😂,,, AUGGHHHH,,,, floors, cab mounts, corners and ,,,, haha. I have gotten lucky on a few trucks. While the rest is at the body shop I rebuild the suspension, either rebuild an original powertrain or go with a crate motor and transmission, preferably big blocks. The 502 is such a nice motor!! 😊 I won’t do LS conversions, but if I have a LS truck in the future, I won’t convert it back to a carb from fuel injection as I have seen,, 😂😂. Back *sswards to me!! 😂.
    So depending on the project, a truck or car can be quick. If you have all your interior pieces they can often be done in a day after the truck is otherwise assembled. The dash can take a few days. I found a whole new “Painless” wiring harness saves a lot of time vs trying to rescue what is there. I don’t want to burn it up after all the work. 😂😂. The rush they create in the show over the interiors is hilarious really,,,,,.
    To each their own!! The almighty dollar and chasing the maximum possible is changing platforms before they become fully established in the film industry and even the automotive industry. The politicians are kinda finally realizing all EV light service vehicle (personal) sales is not feasible by 2035,,,, they are still hard as hell to change their courses of action though,,,,. They all think they are smarter than the experts,,, especially in the USA due to one individual that apparently is omniscient (in his own very warped mind) and knows his way is the best way for everything,,, even when it killed a few extra million followers that listened him in dire times,,,,. 😂😂.
    Some Dayi will do an EV conversion on a roller if I find the right one. 😊

    I didnt miss them enough to pay for it. I do believe in supporting the car industry, but i cant afford $5 -10 for every streaming service. As hoovie mentioned, it begins to cost more then cable.

    Looks like the Motor Trend magazine is close to the grave also. I’ve been a print subscriber for decades and received notification that they are condensing down to 4 issues a year, even though there loyal subscribers paid for 12 magazines a year.

    Don’t normally follow this channel but felt compelled to watch and comment. So much to say…
    As a long time print subscriber and customer, I’ve been slowly pushed away from MT. Putting shows like Roadkill behind a pay wall was a mistake. Recently they announced the print magazine was going away and everything was going online. Another trend is that they were becoming more and more woke, pushing EVs all the time and proclaiming EVs were the next big thing. I’m not drinking the kool aid and I won’t spend anymore if my money on their services. Goodbye and so long MT.

    MT abandoned their core print audience by changing to a quarterly cycle. Many old readers for the past thirty (or even 50) years canceled subscriptions. Would love to see a video explaining ❤ MT did what they did. Obviously it's all $$, like any business.

    I was upset when Roadkill/etc switched off CZcams, but I understand the economics changed with how they were being compensated so I have subscribed (albeit on and off as there was new content I wanted to watch). I'm concerned the content will be diluted further, and I can't think of any content on Discovery+ I want to watch

    Motortrend’s streaming service was a dumpster fire from the beginning. It never worked correctly for me. It was terrible.

  • @toynn_sugoi
    @toynn_sugoi Před 6 měsíci

    Sad that Motortrend+ is going away. I actually watch about 1-2 hours of shows on there every day. Some new content and some old content (Engine Masters, Graveyard Cars, Roadkill shows, and others). I guess EVs are killing all of the car content too.

  • @michaelmcnamara1710

    Motor trend was ok but in Australia we got kicked of a couple of years ago. The major problem was not having rights for a lot of the content here.

  • @ninjabob8170

    When they moved away from CZcams, I actually subscribed and paid. Then for some ridiculous reason they stopped anyone from outside of the US watching…. Being in the UK this was great. 😐

    The sensitive topic of a “casting couch” was skilfully thwarted by Tyler suggesting that: “She did audition me.” See time code 10:20.

  • @trumbley22
    @trumbley22 Před 6 měsíci

    It's not dying, it's moving. It makes sense from a monetary standpoint because Discovery is operating two streaming services. Now they're going to one, reducing overhead.
    Tyler's account of how Roadkill was moved to MT+ is not correct. They started the streaming service and the subscribers had early access to episodes and additional content. It was years before it went exclusively behind a pay wall. At the time, the hosts' employment contracts did not allow them to do their own CZcams stuff (they've all since redone their contracts). Roadkill was ALWAYS owned by what is now the Motor Trend group. While their channel was the largest automotive CZcams channel, it contained Dirt Every Day and Hot Rod Garage, etc. They were never independent, they were always employees of Motor Trend Group. The move to their own service was made because of changes CZcams made to their monetization policy at the time. It was CZcams's own fault that they left.

    Overhaulin' story. I had a friend who was very involved in the (now defunct) Seattle Roadster show. They hired Overhaulin' to bring in 'finished' cars from the show. I helped push several (3) in because they did not run, could not run, nor would ever run. It was nothing more the paper mache and personality.
