what car magazine to buy??

i wanna get a car magazine.
i just wanna read things about cars so that i can learn about cars.
thats what i have done for computers.
i bought a new computer when i was 5th grade,
and i didnt kno any single thing about the computer at that time.
but as i read some computer and game magazines,
i could have learned about computer so much.
now i can tell that im kinda expert on it.
so i wanna take this process again in cars.
what car magazine do u recommend for this purpose?
i think car and driver is a good one but IMO its more likely about preview/review rather than actual things about a car.
what would you recommend??

MOTOR TREND the best magazine you can get to learn they talk about every type of car and truck and every aspect from saftey to concept cars and the set up of the magazine is better than others i think

other ones you could learn from
road & track
car & driver
automobile

Grassroots Motorsports, a magazine about actual Racing. Amature racing even!!!

They have plenty of articles on subjects that can actually make your car faster and handle better. (that are actually tested and proven)
just to support why I like them, heres a listing of their Tech articles..

Car and Driver is pretty well rounded as it test all kinds of cars from economy cars to supercars to minivans and pickups. I like it better than Motortrend because MT is really stingy on how many cars to include in their comparos. But if you want to go into the technical stuff, you can get the tuner mags such as Sport Compact Car, they explains the tech stuff and teaches you how to tune cars.

Anything that has a half-naked chick in a compromising pose on the cover is always a good read.

I will place a third vote for Grassroots. If not, then C&D or Motor trend. Those tuner mags are full of crap.
