I got this in an email today. This is the number of copies of each magazine sold in 2009.

Truckin’: 106,137 (ABC)
Mini Truckin’: 28,356 (Publisher’s statement)
Street Trucks: 24,393 (Publisher’s statement)

Stop looking at them at walmart and buy them.

Damn that # keeps going down big time every year.

this is why i always buy a copy at walmart, even though i have a subscription..

I have 2 subscription. One for home and one for work.

damn that sux

I think the internet is what is killing printed media today. Take newspapers for example, they are dying because people get their news from the internet. its a "real-time" news source. This really dont apply to magazines, but its basically the same idea. People see it as why buy the magazine when they can go look at the tech articles, features, videos, and other stuff on the website.

Basically what im saying is that the website has most if not more than what the magazine has, in my opinion. dont get me wrong, it seems like nowadays if you dont have a website, you dont have much of anyting. bless them for the mag, but i believe printed media is on the way out, unfortunately.

I agree. Dan and I talked about that and I think Prime Media is going to do something about that this next year. Getting a subscription to the website, or something.

I personally prefer print. I would hate to see em go.

subscriptions isnt what they make money on, they make there money for what gets sold in stores.

Yeah, they make their what? 24 bucks or whatever it is once a year from you as opposed to you going and buying each issue for almost 6 bucks, i always get mine from the stands.

Im a broke white boy. Cant afford 2 issues at the stand otherwise I would buy em there.

subscriptions help that way ads know that say 35k people will look at our 38 page ad layout for the next 12 mo and yes if u can look online for free why buy the print need to change that.
